These levels of characteristic are general for each art. There is really no way to specifically label each art other than in general terms. At one moment the art may appear linear, but at another moment appear very much circular. I have listed the general characteristic of each art. The triangle is one of the strongest geometrical structures and is used in the FMA to represent strength.
Many schools incorporate the triangle into their school's logo.
Some of these theories are footwork, stances, foundations of disarms, and theories of attack. However, the most glaring example of the circular moves in FMA is in the empty hand disarms or in their foot sweeps. Ray Terry and the Martial Arts Resource. Carbon Echo Corporation, All Rights Reserved.
