Here's an interesting question from the Taekwondo sub-reddit:
Yet another question on Poomsae taekwondo
Specifically, the original poster appears to be asking about the slow Palm-Assisted Block early in Sipjin. I can understand why the block is being assisted (i.e., presumably to provide more power to the blocking arm)...but what's the significance of the fact that the assisting hand is moving so slowly while the blocking arm turns slowly? Does anybody know what an application for this is?
