Defense

•Point of Reference (form): front / front (12:00 / 6:00)

•Point of Reference (stance): front (12:00)

•Point of Reference (maneuver): front (12:00)

•it utilizes long range weapons

•it utilizes one and both hands, and one foot (at a time)

•it utilizes both the top and bottom weapon

•it utilizes open weapons (hand)

•it utilizes the reverse neutral bow and forward bow stance

•it demonstrates a Zone of Action outside the arm

•it demonstrates 2-in-1 / 1-in-1 timings

•it demonstrates both sides of the sequence

•it demonstrates a shift of focus 0 degrees

•it demonstrates elementary timing

•it demonstrates distance without and distance with rotation for foot maneuver

•it demonstrates sweeping (with hand)

•it demonstrates a partial take-down with hand and hand

•it demonstrates using Opposing Forces (on both opponent and self)

•it demonstrates a degree of grabbing (hooking)

•it demonstrates combining circular motions to form a 'figure 8' (with feet)

•it demonstrates foot maneuver / foot maneuver intersecting circular motions (aka figure 8) with both feet

•it demonstrates intersecting circular motions (aka figure 8) with both feet traveling in the same direction

•it demonstrates intersecting circular motions (aka figure 8) using the same dimensions (width+depth)

•it demonstrates intersecting circular motions (aka figure 8) with horizontal paths perpendicular to the front of the body

Offense

•Point of Reference (form): 12:00 / 6:00

•it demonstrates an elementary attack (stick)

•it demonstrates 3-on-line (vertical): high (face) / middle (chest) / low (groin)
