•Point of Reference (fixed): front (12:00)

•Focal Point (fluid - primary): front (12;00)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fixed) Focal Point 45-degrees (to front flank) (12:00), (transitional) 90-degrees (to flank) (9:00), and 180-degrees (to rear) (12:00)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fluid) Focal Point 45-degrees (to front flank) (10:30), (transitional) 90-degrees (to flank) (9:00), and 180-degrees (to rear) (6:00)

•it demonstrates a shift in both stance and Focal Point

•it demonstrates both sides of a self-defense technique

•it demonstrates redirecting an in-flight aggression
