Inward Block Sequence

•it contrasts defense then offense to other response scenarios

•it contrasts elementary maneuvers to other maneuver scenarios

•it contrasts using a single side (2-in-1 timing) (off beat) and (1-in-1) to other maneuver timings

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

•it contrasts using upper weapons to other weapon combinations

•it contrasts using fully closed and open hand weapons to other weapon formations

•it contrasts only forward maneuvering to other foot maneuvering directions
