1. Distancing

   Distancing is the appropriate selection of distance between oneself and a combatant throughout an encounter. Distancing is significant in an altercation as it determines both attack and defence options for all parties involved. Timing and tactics are also important elements of combat which are often used in conjunction with distancing by experienced martial artists.Distancing is an important concept in all combative sports and arts. It applies to both un-armed and armed combat. In a martial sense, armed combat takes the form of traditional weapons practice. Given the enormous variety of martial arts weapons in addition to the various ranges of un-armed combat, it is possible to divide distancing up into many sub-distances or ranges. Indeed, many martial arts have their own uniques expressions for various distances or ranges derived from those they specialise in. Distances may be divided up in a number of ways which include various combinations of major and sub-ranges. Although many styles train practitioners at varying ranges, most styles specialise in one or two major sets of ranges.In a general, most arts describe each of the following ranges (from longest to shortest): Non-contact range Kicking range Punching range Clinch fighting range Ground fighting rangeIn addition, a great many sub-ranges may be included. One example is the division of the punching range into: Finger striking range Punching range Palm-striking rangeAll other ranges may also be subdivided in a similar manner. Many martial arts focus on specific distances. Examples of this are as follows: Kicking range: Taekwondo Punching range: Boxing Clinch fighting range: Muay Thai Ground fighting range: Brazilian Jujitsu

1. Distancing

   Distancing is a concept arising from the work of developmental psychologists Heinz Werner and Bernard Kaplan. Distancing describes the process by which psychologists help a person establish their own individuality through understanding their separateness from everything around them. This understanding of one's identity is considered an essential phase in coming to terms with symbols, which in turn forms the foundation for full cognition and language. Werner and Kaplan's work was later expanded by the pioneer in deaf-blind patient therapy, Dr. Jan Van Dijk, and later refined by the work of Dr. Susan Bruce. Primarily of use in working with deaf-blind patients, distancing gradually leads the subject through a course of physical interactions which encourage the patients to respond. At first, responses may be simple repetitions of pleasurable acts, but eventually events that take place in the present tense are replaced in the subject's mind with more complicated concepts, such as desires, requests, or other expressions which reflect symbolic cognition and understanding of past events. As the subject progresses through these stages, he is eventually able to move from communicating his desires simply to more complicated treatment of symbols in communication. Once the communication barrier is removed, more conventional therapies and educational methodologies are then possible.

Examples of Distancing in a Sentence

1. Richard Perks:

   My friends and I would rather quarantine outside of the hostel for 14 days, then know that we are guaranteed a date that we can get home. As of right now, there is no end date on sight, the other people in this hostel are not following the social distancing rules, and I'm afraid the quarantine will be extended indefinitely.

2. Doug Badger:

   If the various claims about masks and distancing and lockdowns and all the rest had produced demonstrably different results in the states where they were tried, we might argue that having a uniform approach would have been better. But the experience has been quite otherwise, and I think that's why you're beginning to see even governors who have been very supportive of restrictions and have implemented enforced restrictions are rapidly retreating from them.

3. Christian Smalls:

   If you want to practice real social distancing, stop pressing the buy button, you'll be saving lives. I understand that people need groceries and certain items, depending where you live, are limited. But people are buying things they don't need and it's putting workers' health at risk.

4. Hafiz Abdul Rehman Achakzai:

   There is no harm gathering for it in a mosque. We try to maintain physical distance from each other while saying our prayers, which is different from mass gatherings, where physical distancing is not possible, having said that, I should mention that by saying the prayers is the only way we can ask for Allahs help to protect us.

5. The CDC:

   Adopting universal masking policies can help avert future lockdowns, especially if combined with other non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, hand hygiene, and adequate ventilation.
