Half-Knuckle Sequence

•it contrasts sophisticated maneuvers to other maneuver scenarios

•it contrasts using a both sides (2-in-1 timing) (simultaneous) to other weapon and timing usage

•it contrasts using a same side (2-in-1 timing) (off beat) to other weapon and timing usage

•it contrasts using rear with rear weapons to other weapon combinations

•it contrasts using front then front weapons (off beat) to other weapon combinations

•it contrasts using high with low weapons to other weapon combinations

•it contrasts only offense to other response scenarios

•it contrasts using a degree of opening the hand to other weapon formations

•it contrasts forward maneuvering to other foot maneuvering directions

•it contrasts using a typically defensive weapon as offense (intent)

•it contrasts doing 3-on-line with hands and feet

•it contrasts doing 3-on-line with singles and doubles

•it contrasts foot '/maneuvering to differing angle ranges to other foot maneuver combinations
