I am curious what everyone's opinion is on the moves we make in between the moves. I'm talking about when you're doing Hyung or marching the floor doing basics. When you go from Right handed low block to left handed low block, there has to be a transition step, not only to generate power (from the hips and acceleration of the blocking arm, plus possible twisting motion), but to keep yourself guarded - and in some people's opinion, much much more (hidden throws, grabs, strikes, etc).
So my two questions are....
1. How do you execute these? Now this is a very complex question, since each movement has a different transition....so to keep it simple, we can start with simple Low Block (Ha Dan Mahk Kee). Does the blocking hand cross your body to opposite shoulder? Above or below chambering hand, plam up, palm down, palm in? Does it twist on the way down, once you get there, before it moves, etc...
2. What do you think about these moves? More abstract question....are they all hidden movements? Ways of encoding more complex ideas...or are they what they look like, simple chambering and throwing of the technique to get power, speed, etc.
Some of this is pretty simple, since there are some basics across the board, whether TSD, SBD, or even TKD...some things are standard. But the point is to examine what ISN'T standard, what changes between schools and organizations...and more importantly, why does it change?
