It is rushed and unrehearsed so i should re do it but do not have the time right now. I made a technique from the form Tai Sing Mon and used it to illustrate how (according to my understanding of SKK) a combination of techniques should become one move. I ran out of memory so the final piece where i step through as the left hand strikes does not show ( to conform better with TSM)…but you should get the idea

Thanks for sharing Justin. It is not that someone has skipped a step, rather it is that there is only one step. So, with this in mind, what happens to the broken down parts as application (as a teaching) such as for example the block. what is it now that ther is only one move?

Marlon, I think your answer is in your question. Now I know this isn’t exactly a question but a topic for discussion. As you put it you feel as if you skipped a part because the form ended so quickly, it is this feeling of unity in your technique that makes it seem as if you must not have done things “by the numbers” and therefor your structural integrity, foot work and alignment all mesh. I believe Ed Parker once said “I’m not fast I’m mechanicly sound”.
