The Crossgate

This does not exist within the Pentegraph Orb and is part of the Mirrorway of Megak, and consequently is performed contragrade. It is the Loom, but performed with a martial style with the central Dykirkos providing the fundamental technique, using the rotating of the Dykirkoi to reverse the direction.

All the Kirkoi and Dykirkoi within the Loom, should be practiced independently, and deliberately fast and slow, in all the positions and directions. The Kirkoi within each Dykirkos are always either both dextral, or both sinistral, with the hands 180deg apart and synchronised with hikite. Very powerful practice.

The Loom is also known as the Closed Mirror, being part of the Mirrorway of Megak, but as a martial interpretation and performance, it is known as the Pentegraph Crossgate. The Mirror ancestry means the left hand leads the right as can be seen in the Dragonfly style shown above. The Hawk style is seen below.

The Cross of Pentegraph

The Cross of Pentegraph is the core of the martial defense aspect of Pentegraph, and is developed from the Karate technique of tatsumaki uke coming from the Okinawan Kojo family style. When developed to a sufficient strength and speed, it is capable of preventing any attack from the front. It is ideally suited to robotic martial arts (together with the rest of Pentegraph), as they have more resilient limbs, can be faster and the paths are simply programmed into them allowing them to present a continuous impenetrable field of defense.

The principal behind Pentegraph martial performances, is that of creating a shield of defence.

Draw the Cross of Pentegraph in front of you to ward off evil!

The Power of the Kirkos

The circular hikite of pulling with one hand while pushing with the other, produces the Ingress and Egress that powers the performance. The varying of where along the circles path that the actuating input of power occurs, gives the Kirkosial Stroke its flow and dynamism, and allows different applications to be realised. The actuators normally occur where the Wickets are, and are at the points where an osculation allows a change of path within its greater structure; in this case, within the Loom. This is where reversing of the direction can be implemented.
