First Person

•Point of Reference (fixed): flanks (3;00 / 9:00)

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

•it demonstrates a shift of (fixed) Focal Point 90-degrees (to flank) (3:00) and 180-degrees (to rear) (9:00)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fluid) Focal Point 90-degrees (to flank) (3:00) and 180-degrees (to rear) (6:00)

•it demonstrates a shift (initially) in both stance and Focal Point

•it demonstrates both sides of a self-defense technique

•it demonstrates redirecting an in-flight aggression (with an offensive maneuver)

•it demonstrates offense with singular weapons (partially open-open weapons)

•it demonstrates parrying and striking with both upper limbs (simultaneously)

•it demonstrates Purposeful Deflection with Purposeful Aggression

•it demonstrates a foot maneuver using (width) distance without rotation (then rotation with distance)
