Mr Billings I enjoyed reading you indepth look to the universal pattern. I think I will use that as I am teaching the upper belts.

Oss sir - just scratching the surface. Think about spheres and intersecting spheres or 1/2 spheres and PATHS of motion. Especially when your hips are moving in one orbit, while shoulder, elbow/forearm are following different paths. Even I get cross-eyed at times.

I made a post looking for information on the universal pattern in the seniors corner I beleive. I am covering it for my thesis. I am not sure who but they tipped me off to something very cool called "Thibault's circle." Its really cool and looks at the pattern from a different's style's eyes

I had read this years ago and found it interesting, as some schools of fencing limit "lines" of attack, primarily with foil. Targets change with epee, but the point is the point. It was when you did saber that "shells" or "spheres" of motion became more apparent to me.
