•Point of Reference (initial): right rear flank / left rear flank (4:30 / 7:30)

•Point of Reference (fixed): right rear flank / left rear flank (4:30 / 7:30)

•Point of Reference (fluid): right front flank / left front flank (1:30 / 10:30)

•it demonstrates controlling a single potential attacker through destabilization and manipulation

•it demonstrates the strategy of evasion and use of obscure zones

•it demonstrates both realistic maneuvers

•it demonstrates the use of Vise-like maneuvers using natural weapons (grabbing)

•it demonstrates using the environment as a weapon (throw-down)

•it demonstrates bringing the target to the weapon (and weapon to target)

•it demonstrates defense while starting from an awkward position (out of position)
