Kenpo Forms

[Flying Crane]

Yes, I would hope that the instructor would have an idea as to what the movements are. I have come across more than 1 that A) did not know what the movements were or B) did not bother to teach them. In any case, you're correct, a student may have some difficulty when first learning, understanding what certain moves are.

Hey, fair enough. Poor teachers are a dime a dozen and it makes one wonder where things might have gone wrong when you see that. I just am really surprized that a kenpo teacher might not know what the movement in his/her kata means. It just seems like the art is structured to make that very clear. Now, not being very good at a technique is one thing, but simply not even knowing what it is, is another thing altogether...
