In Liberation Martial Arts (LMA), "range of freedom" refers to the number of ways a technique can be executed. From the wayfinding perspective, if the goal is to get to x, not only are there various paths to x, but there are even various ways to take the same path.

Take the teep, for example. There's the standard teep with the front leg, the front kick version, or a hybrid combining a pushing and snapping motion. You can deliver it high, low, or somewhere in between. The supporting leg can stay planted, or you can lift your heel, hop, pivot, or a combination. You can lean back or stay upright. You can even kick diagonally rather than in a linear motion. All these variations are within your range of freedom. You get to decide how you apply the teep based on the context and situation. None of them are wrong, and all of them are teeps. Within any single technique, there are multitudes.
