Dodge

A quick hop aside: down, a tucked jump with the arms in, landing low on bent knees and back up to the guard (the World moves it to the side; the body does the hop).

What it is for

Getting out of the way: of a swing in a sword fight, a thrown ball, a charging animal. In the World's sword fight the game moves you aside; the move is the hop your body does.

The principle it shows: squash and stretch

Squash and stretch. The body goes down first, hops with its arms tucked in, lands low on bent knees that soak up the landing, and comes back up to the guard.

Try this

Slow it from 0.18 s to 0.31 s: the same dodge, taken more slowly, so you see each part of it.
In the program: ramp · over 0.18 → 0.31
Turn the forearm (left) to 79 degrees instead of 105: a smaller, tighter dodge.
In the program: ramp · to.part:forearm:-1 105 → 79

How it differs from the others

Duck goes under a swing without leaving its spot; Parry meets the blade instead of avoiding it.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	whole body, body, head, arms, legs
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	whole body, head, front legs, back legs, ears
