Residual Weapon

 

An idiom referring to a strike that results from the continuous motion of an initial checking maneuver.

 

Comments:

 

A simple way to understand a Residual Weapon is that its initial intention was to be for checking, but it was seamlessly and immediately converted into an offensive maneuver.

 

Residual Weapon is a somewhat generic term and does not specify weapon type, but rather the intent and timing.

 

Technically speaking, a Residual Weapon could be classified as sophisticated maneuver or method, or could equally be classified as two (2) elementary maneuvers or methods executed without pause between them.

 

Example(s):

Executing an inward block, which upon successful diversion, is immediately extended into a vertical punch to an opponent's face would demonstrate the implementation of a Residual Weapon.
