Forms and their applications - 11/04/06 08:16 AM
I urge everyone to go to the Forms and Applications forum and take a look at Shotokan katas thread. There you will see demonstrations of Taekwondos predecessor.
Tell me is this how you are taught forms applications? Have you ever seen forms applied in this way?
Many of the examples show demonstrations of how kata (forms) are applied to self defense. Do many of you know these techniques or have applied them in this fashion?
What do you guys think? While these forms are not the Chang Hon, Taeguek,or Palgwe. They are very identical to the Pyung Ahn which belong to Tang Soo Do one of the original korean kwans. The sequences may be different but the techniques are exactly the same. So go take a look at how karate was practice and see if its simlar to what you do today.
