Just promoted to 1st Dan. Big thrill for me.
Haven't discussed this with my instructor to learn his preference, but am interested in feedback from the group nonetheless.
Various videos, descriptions, etc. describe sliding of one foot during all of the slow motion movements in Kwang Gae, as in:
2. Move the left foot to D to form a left walking stance toward D, while executing (full facing) an upset punch to D with the right forefist.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the left foot.
3. Move the right foot to D to form a right walking stance toward D, while executing (full facing) an upset punch to D with the left forefist.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the right foot.
10. Move the ball of the left foot to the side front of the right foot. Then, pivoting on the ball of the left foot and turning counter-clockwise, move the right foot to D to form a left walking stance toward C, while executing (half facing) an upward block to C with the right palm.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the right foot.
11. Move the right foot to C to form a right walking stance toward C, while executing (half facing) an upward block to C with the left palm.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the right foot.
21. Move the left foot to C to form a left low stance toward C, while executing (full facing) a pressing block to C with the right palm.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the left foot.
22. Move the right foot to C to form a right low stance toward C, while executing (full facing) a pressing block to C with the left palm.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the right foot.
30. Slip the left foot to C to form a left low stance toward C, while executing (full facing) a high front thrust to C with the left flat fingertip.
Perform this move in a slow motion – sliding the left foot.
Question for discussion: is this appropriate? I don't see the sliding listed in official descriptions. I think I understand the concept, though, of having foot and hand stop at the same time.
Thanks.
