A distinct type of Twisting Foot Maneuver which is physically distinguished by accomplishing its execution through a horizontally oriented rotation that remains relatively stationary.

Comments:

This maneuver can rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise; but the rotation is always predominantly horizontal, while the practitioner remains predominantly vertically oriented, and most typically maintains the same focus point - although this is not a requirement.

Technically speaking, this maneuver can be effected from any position, but if started from a stance with a narrower depth alignment (i.e. natural, cat, etc.) it would require a slight amount of travel to it to obtain the proper depth alignment of the concluding twist stance. Otherwise, this maneuver has no meaningful change of depth.

This maneuver differs from the Traveling Twist in that it relies primarily upon change of width (e.g. rotation)  to be effected.

Derivation:

This maneuver gets its name from the fact that it does not travel - in contrast to its traveling relative.
