Defense

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

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

•Point of Reference (maneuver): front (12:00) and front flank (transitory) (1:30 / 10:30)

•it demonstrates a circle cut in half horizontally

•it demonstrates a Zone of Action outside the arms

•it demonstrates a defense against multiple attacks (in-flight majors)

•it demonstrates simultaneous major offensive maneuvers (poke + kick)

•it demonstrates 2-in-1 (defensive) / 3-in-1 (offensive) / 1-in-1 (offensive) timings

•it demonstrates both sides of the sequence

•it demonstrates a (transitory) shift of focus 45-degrees

•it demonstrates stepping forward

•it utilizes long range and short range weapons

•it utilizes open weapons

•it utilizes the neutral bow and horse stance

•it utilizes both the top and bottom weapon of opposite sides

•it utilizes both ends of a weapon (arm)

•it demonstrates combining circular motions to form a figure '8'

 

•it demonstrates defensive overlapping circles (figure 8) with both hands (parries)

•it demonstrates overlapping circles (figure 8) with both hands traveling in the same direction (inward / outward)

•it demonstrates overlapping circles (figure 8) at different widths (offset in time)

•it demonstrates overlapping circles (figure 8) with vertical paths parallel to the body

 

Offense

•Point of Reference (global): rear (6:00)
