The concept that motion can have diametrically opposed characteristics, yet still be related.

Comments:

Opposite Motion can be based upon any change in characteristic of motion and is not limited to the same parameters as Return Motion and Reverse Motion. For example, Opposite Motion can demonstrated using a completely different weapon than its base. Although Opposite Motion can be used interchangeably with Return Motion (and even Reverse Motion) under specific conditions.

Opposite Motion when used in the context of direction, brings in the concepts of Colliding Forces, Opposing Forces, Correlation of Forces, Intersecting Forces, Point of Contact, etc.
