todome Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Shotokan so in tournaments embusen would have cost you a stack of points. You need to finish where you started. ITKF allows the first turn from back stance to pivot on the back leg now, so there's a stance to the front. It's a bit more challenging but very educational.ITKF also allows a half-stance shift from the sweeping blocks to the first knife hand block. That buys you a half a stance back to the left.Don't give up your back legs shifting from back stance to front stance at the end of the knifehand block series and the kick needs a more focused target.there's a tendency for the side stances to be deeper than the back stances in this kata so that would account for some of the finishing behind the starting point. bassai-sho is traditionally a deep stance kata so look at staying deep in back stance rather than shortening up your side stances.Cat stance is an inside pressure stance. I don't feel anyone's knees squeezing together.good though. but you know that already. we all have our moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
