In my school, we're taught to move your head in the opposite
direction of a parry, when a punch is thrown at you (e.g. right
inward parry, move your head to the right).
When doing forms, we're told to visualize an attacker(s).
My first instruction of Long Form 1 happened tuesday. Not from
my instructor, but by an experienced blue belt. I was taught that
the first move is a left outward parry, while dropping into a right
neutral bow and executing a right inward block. Nothing about
head shift was mentioned. Should it be there? If no, why not?
