DEPTH DECEPTION - Conditioning your opponent to accept an established depth range, then making a switch that will lengthen or shorten that range when he least expects it.

DEPTH PENETRATION - The concept of going beyond the point of contact when striking with a weapon.

DEPTH ZONES - One of the categorical ZONES OF PROTECTION. It entails the protection of approximately seven depth zones. These are vertical zones viewed from the side. They start from lead hand to lead knee, lead knee to lead elbow, lead elbow to lead shoulder, lead shoulder to head, head to rear shoulder, rear shoulder to rear knee, and rear knee to rear foot.

DESTRUCTIVE CYCLE - Usually incorrectly associated with SEQUENCING, but really pertains to the 24 hour changes in the destructive nature of particular meridian nerves and associated sequencing.

DESTRUCTIVE ESCALATION / DE-ESCALATION ALTERNATIVE - During the execution of a specific technique sequence, the act of utilizing certain concepts and principles to either raise or lower the destructive potential as determined by your own personal risk assessment at the moment.

DESTRUCTIVE POTENTIAL - The examination of a particular technique sequence to determine the extent of possible destruction that may be caused by proper execution of the sequence.

DESTRUCTIVE SEQUENCING - A very precise sequence of CAVITY PRESSES or NERVE STRIKES that regulates the DESTRUCTIVE POTENTIAL of the technique.

DETAINING CHECK - Is a momentary block that occurs during the execution of, and as a result of the path of, a strike being delivered to a selected target. A ricochet punch is a good example of this principle. See OFFENSIVE CHECK or RICOCHETING BLOCKING STRIKE.

DIAMOND STANCE VISE - The utilization of the American Kenpo Diamond Stance in Advanced Concepts Control Manipulation Maneuvers, creating a unilateral compression control mechanism with the knees by lowering of the height.

DIRECTED ENERGY FLOW - A channeling of internal energy to enhance a technique or disrupt an opponents energy field or “Aura.”

DIRECTIONAL HARMONY - Having all of your action moving in the same direction. This principle aids in obtaining maximum results. It is a requirement when executing BODY MOMENTUM that residually triggers BACK-UP-MASS.

DISTRACTION - Intentional move or moves used in freestyle or combat to divert the attention and disrupt the concentration of an opponent. Such moves can create openings that can allow you favorable access to vital targets. See DECEPTIVE MOVES and ACTION.

DIVERSIFIED ANGLE OF ATTACK - The ability to commence an attack from one angle, and be able to readily switch into still another angle without disturbing the flow of motion, especially when only one hand is employed. Example: a punch to your opponent's jaw can unhesitatingly be converted into a stiff arm lifting forearm strike under his chin. In the case of two hands, alternate action from two or more angles while striking to the same target, or two separate targets, are still considered DIVERSIFIED ANGLE(S) OF ATTACK. Refer to DIRECTIONAL CHANGE and DIRECTIONAL SWITCH.

DIVERSIFIED ANGLE OF COVER - Refers to changing directions while covering out; not getting into the habit of covering out in one direction.

DIVERSIFIED TARGETS - Striking various targets to insure multiple effects.

DO – Japanese term translated means “way”.

DOUBLE CHECK - It is the execution of a single, simultaneous, or alternating delivery that restrains, hinders, or prevents an opponent from taking action from more than one leverage point.

DOUBLE CHECK FACTOR - It entails utilizing dual movements to defend yourself. These moves can incorporate any combination of blocks, parries, and checks. It also refers to sophisticated moves that are dual defensive and offensive. REVERSE MOTION is an integral part of this concept.

DOUBLE CHECK WIPE - An application of the DOUBLE CHECK blocking principle to execute defensive CONTROL RELEASE concepts.

DOUBLE COVER OUT - A single crossover step through reverse, with an additional step through reverse, to reassure greater distance between you and your opponent(s). This gives a greater cover position because, in the process of maneuvering, your vision encompasses two 180 degree angle scans which give you a 360 degree total scanning advantage.

DRAG - The sliding of one foot toward the other while either moving forward, backward, or to the side.

DRAG STEP - The sliding of one foot forward, backward, or to the side before having the opposite foot step away from it. It is one of the four categorical methods of SHUFFLING.

DRIVING STRIKE - An offensive/defensive impact designed to physically force the impacted area in a specific direction and thereby “steering” or “driving” your opponent.

DROP(PING) - A rapid descent of your body while simultaneously delivering a strike. Its execution greatly contributes to the principle of MARRIAGE OF GRAVITY, where the ability to use the weight of your body becomes a distinct advantage.

E

ECONOMY OF MOTION - Entails choosing the best available weapon for the best available angle, to insure reaching the best available target in the least amount of time, while still obtaining the desired result. Any movement that takes less time to execute, but still causes the effect intended. Any movement that inhibits or does not actively enhance the effect intended is categorized as WASTED MOTION.

EIGHT CONSIDERATIONS - The eight factors involved in freestyle or combat that must be considered or anticipated in order to be victorious. Listed in the order of their importance, they are: (1) environment, (2) range, (3) positions, (4) maneuvers, (5) targets, (6) natural weapons, (7) blocks, and (8) cover.

ELONGATED CIRCLES - The lengthening of circular movements so that the paths in which they travel follow a more flattened arc. This maneuver shortens the time of action, and because of the modified angle of travel, is able to strike the target with greater speed, penetration, and force.

EMBRYONIC BASICS - Simple basic movements that are generally single in action and purpose. Although primitive in nature they form the basic roots of jujitsu.

EMOTIONAL ATTACK - An element of the PSYCHOLOGY OF CONFRONTATION. Applies to the “predators” use of techniques to mentally destabilize a victim to make them more susceptible to intimidation and/or physical attack.

ENERGY AURA - Also known as an “Energy Field.” An established scientific fact that all living things have an “Aura” which is susceptible to different and varying forms of disruption.

ENERGY DISRUPTION - The utilization of a “Directed Energy Flow” to disturb or unbalance an opponents “Energy Aura” making him susceptible to injury, pain, or Manipulation.

ENVIRONMENT - Conditions that confront us on a daily basis. It involves social and cultural conditions, objects around us, thoughts that are in us, condition of our bodies, weather conditions, ability of your opponent, objects which an opponent may use, and all other factors that influence our chances of survival. It is everything around you, on you, and in you at the time of a confrontation.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS - The ability to observe daily conditions and surroundings, and make on-the-spot decisions to either avoid danger, or take advantage of the opportunities offered.

EQUATION FORMULA - This is a special "Motion Kenpo" formula that one can follow to develop specific, practical, and logical fighting patterns. The formula allows you a more conclusive basis for negotiating your alternate actions. It reads as follows: To any given base, whether it is a single move or a series of movements, you can (1) prefix it -- add a move or moves before it; (2) suffix it -- add a move or moves after it; (3) insert -- add a simultaneous move with, the already established sequence (this move can be used as a (a) pinning check -- using pressure against an opponent's weapons to nullify their delivery, or (b) positioned check -- where you place the hand or leg in a defense position or angle to minimize entry to your vital areas; (4) rearrange -- change the sequence of the moves, (5) alter the -- (a) weapon, (b) target, (c) both weapon and target; (6) adjust the -- (a) range, (b) angle of execution (which effects width and height), (c) both angle of execution and range; (7) regulate the -- (a) speed, (b) force, (c) both speed and force, (d) intent and speed; and (8) delete -- exclude a move or moves from the sequence.

EXPLOSIVE MOMENTARY HEIGHT CONTROL - An Advanced Jujitsu Concept form of CONTROL MANIPULATION. When interjected into base self-defense techniques, it increases their functional capability. It is executed by the striking of certain “points” of the anatomy to affect immediate although momentary body control. Sometimes used in conjunction with a CONTROL RELEASE.

F

FAMILY GROUPINGS - Movements that stem from the same source, position, point of origin, or point of reference. Although these moves stem from the same point of origin, their methods of execution vary according to circumstance. Applying this concept teaches how the first two moves of your initial action could be viewed as Mother/Father moves. Action stemming from Mother/Father moves produce Brother/Sister moves. Secondary, but similarly structured positions, produce Aunt/Uncle moves. Moves stemming from them produce Cousin moves, and so forth. A “Motion Concept.”

FAMILY RELATED MOVES - The use of the same move or moves against a number of predicaments that are basically similar in context, but so often overlooked as being similar in principle. For example, the answer to a wrist grab can (via slight alteration) be the same answer to a hair or lapel grab. The basic action is to control the opponent's wrist while striking against the joint of his elbow. The answer to a "rear bear hug", arms free, can also work if the arms were pinned, or if the hug was converted into a "Full Nelson".

FEEL - A word used to describe the foot or hand as it slides from one point to another. In the case of the foot the concept teaches you to move your foot back very lightly so that you literally feels the ground, when sliding in the hope of overcoming possible obstacles.

FEINT - A misleading move or gesture used to deceive an opponent. See DECEPTIVE MOVES.

FIGHTING POSTURE - A defensive posture used prior to or during combat, as well as in tournament sparring. It may be coupled with an assumed stance, or formed when protecting yourself while on the ground, on the beach, in bed, seated in a chair, etc.

FILLET - A blade principle. The utilization of the cutting edge of the blade to lift and PEEL the upper layers and more of the epidermis.

FINAL POSITION - The concluding move of a sequence.

FINGER COMPRESSION LOCK - A maneuver that forces the fingers to maintain a clenched fist position for the purposes of CONTROL MANIPULATION.

FINGER FLEX, BRACE - A maneuver used on the finger(s) to lock them in an unnatural position for the purposes of CONTROL MANIPULATION.
