“When you’re attacked,”

he says, “you have

angles of entry with

which to respond.

These are vertical,

horizontal or at 45

degrees. These

lines bisect or

intersect. When

my stick diffus-

es your strike,

this means that

I grace your line

of attack, I follow

it with mine and

counter your force

so that I strike and

your attack misses

the mark. The foot-

work is a cornerstone,

based on the triangle

pattern, which we use to

quarter the opponent and

strike.”
