Okichitaw embraces the philosophy and teachings of the Plains Medicine Wheel throughout its applications. 
The Medicine Wheel is made of four directions and all movements and applications of Okichitaw are specifically tied to the concept and the teachings of each specific direction. As well, the Medicine Wheel also covers the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual areas in Okichitaw.

Each direction consists of techniques, movements and application of Okichitaw. 

Each direction represents how Okichitaw adopts the Medicine Wheel in its applications:
 
  • East: The East represents balance, confidence and creativity. In battle, the East influences the identification or location of an adversary, and when setting up to develop a solid attack position.

                 
  • South: The South represents strength, focus and success. In battle, the South influences the person to be brave and aggressive in challenging an opponent.
 
  • North: The North represents courage, energy and knowledge. In battle, the North influences control of an opponent through surprise or overwhelming force.
 
  • West: The West represents challenge, choice, and proof. In battle, the West influences the finishing out of an opponent before moving on to another.
