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

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

•it demonstrates a shift of (fixed) Focal Point 135-degrees (to rear flank) (3:00), (transitional) 90-degrees (to flank) (12:00), (transitional) 45-degrees (to front flank) (10:30 / 1:30 / 9:00), and 180-degrees (to rear) (3:00), and 405-degrees (to rear offset flank) (9:00)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fluid) Focal Point 135-degrees (to rear flank) (7:30), (transitional) 90-degrees (to flank) (3:00 / 9:00), (transitional) 45-degrees (to front flank) (10:30 / 10:30), 180-degrees (to rear) (6:00), and 405-degrees (to rear offset flank) (4:30)

•it demonstrates a (transitional) shift of attention 90 and 45-degrees (to flank - front flank) (3:00 / 9:00 - 1:30 / 10:30)

•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

•it demonstrates offense with single weapons (closed-open weapons)

•it demonstrates striking with only upper limbs

•it demonstrates Purposeful Deflection (followed by Purposeful Aggression)

•it demonstrates using rarely used striking surfaces on arm (inner forearm)

•it demonstrates primarily using the dimension of height for power generation (vertical)

•it demonstrates starting a circle with one hand (claw) and completing the circle with another hand (back-knuckle)
