Forgive me for asking this question if it has been addressed already. I tried the search function and saw nothing related. I thought it would be an interesting topic for discussion.
Since doing this exercise for numberous times, that of finding each basic movement we have listed for learning in a given belt and then highlighting it in the respective technique descriptions, I have taken a look at the techniques from a different angle. Why it took so long to see it I don't know, anyway...
Please consider this question...Which came first, the technique or the basic movement? Were the techniques developed to illustrate the practical use of basic movements, or were the techniques developed for true self defense purposes and then the basics were extracted from the techniques and put in a particular belt requirement because of the complexity of the the basic movements?
I hope this made some sense. I look forward to your take on this.
