# directions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
there are 26 directions in the kinesphere that radiate from its center (a 27th point of direction).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
they establish three planes at different levels.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
the directions come from combining these 3 levels with the 9 possible point directions in each level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## levels
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* deep
|
||||||
|
* medium
|
||||||
|
* high
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## point directions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* left
|
||||||
|
* right
|
||||||
|
* forward
|
||||||
|
* backward
|
||||||
|
* left forward
|
||||||
|
* left backward
|
||||||
|
* right forward
|
||||||
|
* right backward
|
||||||
|
* center

# spatial crosses
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## three-dimensional cross
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
formed by the six principal directions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* high center
|
||||||
|
* deep center
|
||||||
|
* medium forward
|
||||||
|
* medium backward
|
||||||
|
* medium right
|
||||||
|
* medium left
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## four-diagonal cross
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
formed by the eight diagonal directions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* high left forward
|
||||||
|
* high right forward
|
||||||
|
* high left backward
|
||||||
|
* high right backward
|
||||||
|
* deep left forward
|
||||||
|
* deep right forward
|
||||||
|
* deep left backward
|
||||||
|
* deep right backward
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## six-diametral cross
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
formed by the twelve deflected directions (?)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# dynamosphere / effort
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
basic training:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* light movements into upward directions
|
||||||
|
* strong movements into downward directions
|
||||||
|
* straight movements into sideways (crossed) directions
|
||||||
|
* roundabout movements into sideways (open) directions
|
||||||
|
* quick movements into backward directions
|
||||||
|
* slow movements into forward directions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
combining these we get the "eight fundamental dynamic actions", that correspond in the dynamosphere to the eight diagonal directions of the kinesphere.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
they can be indicated by using the directional signs of the kinesphere and adding the letter "S".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## the eight fundamental dynamic actions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
when using a right limb:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* pressing/pushing: slow, strong, straight (forward deep left)
|
||||||
|
* wringing/pulling: slow, strong, roundabout (forward deep right)
|
||||||
|
* gliding: slow, light, straight (forward high left)
|
||||||
|
* floating: slow, light, roundabout (forward high right)
|
||||||
|
* punching: quick, strong, straight (backward deep left)
|
||||||
|
* slashing: quick, strong, roundabout (backward deep right)
|
||||||
|
* dabbing: quick, light, straight (backward high left)
|
||||||
|
* flicking: quick, light, roundabout (backward, high, right)
