Zorbasan Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 nah, its not Zenkotsu Dachi. its that really short stance, its tiger stance in tkd, cant remember its name in karate.we were doing it a while ago and were told about the significance of the circle while stepping. i know jiffy can shed some light on the issue. Now you use head for something other than target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daizyblackbelt Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 it's also simply a training tool, just as all stances are. it builds the leg muscles of a beginner by forcing him or her to constantly have bent knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Sounds to me like you are just bringing your feet and knees together when stepping. This is to protect the things you value most....

bushido_man96 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Sounds to me like you are just bringing your feet and knees together when stepping. This is to protect the things you value most....This, and also alsey made a good point about transitioning your feet around and behind the opponents. These are my guesses as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I can't visualize it and I don't remember that name from my Shorin Ryu Shorinkan training. I assume you are assciated with Kyoshi Perry being in Charlotte I would ask him. I have heard many good things about him and I would imagine he would answer your question. If I saw itbeing done and knew thats what you are doing I may be able to explain it. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsey Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 nah, its not Zenkotsu Dachi. its that really short stance, its tiger stance in tkd, cant remember its name in karate.we always do it when stepping into zenkutsu in kata. not sure what a tiger stance is.

cathal Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 We are online after all, howe about you try finding this form using an image search? We can compare the images to our own styles and discussion will be a little easier. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Have a look on https://www.youtube.com or something. If you can find a Kata with it in, just tell us where in the Kata it is and then maybe we can help a little better. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

alsey Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 http://www.narama.cz/karate/kata.htmwatch heian shodan. its easiest to see when he does the three age-ukes and oi-tsukis down the middle. this is how i do it anyway. in the second half of the video he does the kata slowly, its probably better to watch that bit.

Jiffy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah, that's what I was talking about before, bringing the feet and knees together. It's to protect the jatz crackers!!
