Hi - new poster here.
I found your home searching on "Pyung Ahn Cho Dan" discussion forums and I have specific questions:
Are the four closing double low knife-hand blocks out of the back stance or the tiger stance?
I have seen TSD'ers do Pyung Ahn Cho Dan both ways (even on the videos posted in these fora), but I think Shotokan Heian Cho Dan is out of the back stance only.
If this is a difference, would this be a difference between TSD and Shotokan, a difference in TSD styles, or something else?
The reason for my question is innocent - to learn. I apologize in advance if this has been covered extensively. I did some searches and found various related posts, but nothing definitive.
Regards and success to all.
