At first I thought it is a double groin strikes, but the position you are in make it impossible to be double groin strikes.
What is the purpose of this move?
b) Are most of the kicks aim for the knee and waist?
c) If your jump kick missed, what is the defence you would use when your opponet does a stop hit (kick) to your chest, just as you are about to land?
(road 8 or 7)
4) I think in some of the tan tui movements, you deliberately rotate your forearm. What is the purpose of rotating your forearm?
5) In all the roads you start off:
you stand straight and feet together.
your left hand is a straight fist
Your right hand (palm) underneath your left armpit
What is the purpose of this movement?
Sorry I cannot find the link to the web site ,where I got the pictures of the tan tui sequences. I could not tell from the pictures, what are the purpose of those moves. Therefore, I need your help.
Thank you very much
