Within the intent paradigm, an offensive maneuver delivered in a manner in which it doe not have the intent (nor possibly potential) to cause immediate devastating effects to the opponent.

Inflected Form(s):

Minors (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.

Minor maneuvers are considered subordinate offensive moves in potential for damage only and are not considered any less important than major maneuvers.

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

Minor maneuvers commonly follow major maneuvers to set up subsequent major maneuvers, but this is not a requirement.

Minor moves are more typically an Insert, Prefix, or Suffix.
