A sequence of maneuvers that flow naturally from beginning to end without hesitation or interruption.

Comments:

Sequential Flow can be implemented as a Base Move (totally predetermined), Contact Placement (partially predetermined), or totally spontaneous. What matters is that the series of maneuvers create a Continuity of Motion within and between all moves in the series.

Sequential Flow differs from Continuity in that Sequential Flow comes from a broader view - primarily with the Flow of Action and effectiveness of a series of maneuvers.

Sequential Flow differs from Continuous Weapons in that Sequential Flow can consist of both offensive and defensive maneuvers.
