I want to start a technical discussion on the use of hip. Some threads in the kenpo section really got me thinking about the nitty gritty dirty details about our art and I think this rabbit hole is pretty much the ceterpeice of TSD training.
Here are a couple of questions to kick this thing off.
1. Why is the use of hip important? (this is for noobs)
2. How does your dojang train students to use their hips?
3. Which techniques do you feel you get power?
4. Do you translate the use of hip principle into your kicking?
5. What does your Grandmaster (or your teacher) have to say about this concept?
6. Do you think that our stance work articulates the body so that we can maximize our use of hip?
Hopefully, we can spin off some good questions and good discussions from this starter thread. If we get sidetracked, great! Lets start new threads. In the end, hopefully we can come to a deeper understand of TSD.
