Different kata, but the same move. (esp since taikyoku was created to ease beginners into the pinans, and the pinans was created to ease people into Kanku and Bassai. |
I followed this link, and I became lost as I read the explanation due to stepping forwards with my right foot instead of my left. I would still be making a left Gedan berai, but with my right foot forwards? Would that not change all of the body mechanics of my hips, and shoulder, and legs causing a counter rotation? I'm sorry that I am having troubles mentally picturing this bunkai. May I explain what I've understood, and then you can correct me?
My opponent is facing me, and grabs an outside grab ( his left grabbing my right) I step out with my right foot keeping my right hand low, and lifting my left hand in the set position.
"You should now stand at your opponents side, facing the same 90 degrees as in the kata, but getting there slightly differently."
This is where I become lost as to where I am in position to my opponent. I believe that I'm still facing him, but my body has moved forwards, closer, and slightly to my opponent's left side. Would you please guide me as to where I should be so that the rest of the bunkai unfolds better in my mind?
