In another section we've been discussing bunkai in kata as far as interpretation. I thought it would be interesting to examine applications here as well to see if there are different interpretations. With that in mind, I'd thought the appropriate place to begin would be Taegue Il Jang. Looking at just the first sequence after the opening; The instructor begins to turn to his left while performing a down block with his left hand. The down block is completed as he completes a full 90 degree turn to the left. He then steps forward with his right foot and delivers a right straight punch to mid-section height.
How do you view this sequence? What is the purpose? What is the interpretation as far as a self-defense movement? Is there a SD movement? No wrong answers and it is all based upon what you were taught that it means. How do you view it and how do you teach it?
