  • Every attack is initiated from a particular location and is aimed at a particular location. These 2 points are-- Initiation and Contact-zones.
  • The factor that determines the path of attack, angle of initiation from initiation to Contact Zone is the relative position of participants.

  • The Contact Zones he can strike can be changed by relative position and an effective physical cover.
