Major

Definition(s):


Within the intent paradigm, an offensive maneuver delivered in a manner in which it has the intent and potential to cause immediate devastating effects to the opponent.

Inflected Form(s):

 

Majors (plural)

Comments:

 

The intent paradigm spells out two (2) types of maneuvers:

Major - those intent to cause harm

Minor - those intent to not cause harm

The intent paradigm in no way specifies the manner or method of the offensive move - only intent.

Major maneuvers are more generally enacted with the strong side (typically the right side - for right handed people), but this is not a requirement.

Major maneuvers commonly follow minor maneuvers, but this is not a requirement.
