EoS incorporates elements from other systems. The exercises and techniques from Kali/Escrima (Filipino martial arts) are significant. These techniques are based on the "figure eight" movement and largely on defending against angled attacks. This form of attack is common in real self-defense situations (e.g., swings, hooks, etc.). The figure eight and movement sequences that require a high degree of coordination optimally connect the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
