More Information
Regarding definition #1 – presentation:
Maltz didn't think that much was quite right for "media," but he also wasn't sure what was included in "media" – the phenomena of video/audio/etc. or a physical (or digital) video or audio tape or file. What about print? That is, does "media" mean "the press" (as in "freedom of the press")? Does it include "newspaper/magazine"?
A video (à la YouTube) could be a HaSta ta "visual display record." The audio counterpart could be a wab ta "sound record."

Regarding definition #2 – present:
The basic meaning of much is "present" as in "present a gift" to someone. (KGT p. 71) In combination with music (vocal, instrumental or both), it means perform music.
In a situation of martial arts, the stance is being "presented", so the main meaning is not changed:
The verb lol means "be in a stance"; it doesn't take an object. To command someone to strike a specific pose (typically a martial arts pose or stance), use the verb much, usually glossed as "present, perform," with the specific pose as the object: mIl'oD tonSaw' yImuch "strike the sabre bear pose!" If the context is clear – that is, if mIl'oD is known to mean the name of a pose – then you can leave tonSaw' out and just say mIl'oD yImuch "strike the sabre bear (pose)!" (This is like in English when talking about yoga poses: "Do the downward facing dog!") If you were performing in a play and your character was a sabre bear, the director might also say mIl'oD yImuch, meaning something like "perform/present the sabre bear (role)!"
