The targeting chain for the AK single sword evolution is as follows:

  2. left side point up deflection to palm down hack
  3. left side point down deflection to forehand diagonal hack
  4. right side point down deflection to backhand diagonal hack
  5. retreating point down deflection (left leg forward) to vertical hack to crown
  6. retreating point down deflection (right leg forward) to vertical hack to crown
