For those of you who practice the old Okinawan/Japanese hyung sets, Pyung Ahn's, Bassai, Naihanchi's, Chinto, Kong Sang Koon, etc.. .
How do you feel your Boon Hae differs from the Okinawan/Japanese Bunkai? Obviously we as TKD/TSD practicioners kick to the head, where our karateka brethren kick to the waist (or knees) in the same movements. Do we have a deeper meaning to these movements, or is it merely a show of athleticism?
IMHO, I see the use of both the Okinawan and Japanese approaches to these applications as exteremly effective. I also see applications to the head kicks, but they are obviously different applications than the Okinawan/Japanese bunkais. Mainly the difference I see is the range in which the boon hae/bunkai differs.
Anyone out there on this thread have an opinion? I would love to hear it!
