•Point of Reference (fixed): rear flanks (4:30 / 7:30)

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

•it demonstrates a shift of (fixed) Focal Point 90-degrees (to flank) (4:30 / 7:30)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fluid) Focal Point 90-degrees (to flank) (3:00 / 9:00)

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

•it demonstrates both sides of a self-defense technique

•it demonstrates redirecting (potentially) multiple in-flight aggressions

•it demonstrates the use of two (2) defensive weapons simultaneously (universal block)

•it demonstrates the use of a single defensive weapon for multiple defenses (offset timing)

•it demonstrates offense with single weapons

•it demonstrates striking with only the lower limbs

•it demonstrates grabbing and pulling (simultaneously with offensive)

•it demonstrates Purposeful Deflection (followed by Purposeful Aggression)

•it demonstrates a not fully defined series of aggressions
