I have been learning this form for my recently acquired belt rank. I have been taught up to move 19, I have a couple questions regarding moves. Move 9a is the Flying Side Piercing Kick, how much distance is this move supposed to cover? Move 19 is the Knife-hand Guarding Block, what is the purpose/application of the 360 degree jump spin, before hand?

I do not recall if there is a textbook answer. Various reasons for such a move. -Lifting feet to avoid a sweep with a staff, and checking for opponents all around you. (Note: prior and subsequent moves attack and Block opponents to various directions around you. )

My take on it is that you lift up your front leg to avoid a sweep kick, your opponent then follows with a spinning sweep and, rather than change direction and step behind, you continue the counter clockwise motion and jump with a spin to avoid the subsequent kick.

Are there any textbook writings on the Flying side piercing, as to how much distance the kick should cover?

It should cover enough distance so that you can finish the pattern in the same spot you started on.

Isnt this a question you should be asking your instructor?
I think you would get a better answer from the person who is teaching because its gonna come down to what they expect from you.

Yes of course, He is always the first person I ask.

The reason I asked these questions are plain and simple. I want to see what other schools teach as application. I don't know if you are familiar with this form, but for the Flying side piercing kick, It is a one step flying kick. My instructor teaches it as both a one step and two step kick if the student can't land it in one step.so we don't have an exact measurement. So I was curious if other schools do and how they measure their distance. In regards to the 360 Knife-hand block my instructor just says it's an advanced way to transition from the U-Shape grasp to the knife hand block. I asked about that move here to see if school's teach an application for it. If there is an application such as avoiding a sweep, it won't change my understanding of how my instructor wants me to jump.

You should be commended for seeking knowledge outside of your school. While first and foremost a student should know what the school expects of them, having an expanded universe is a good thing. If more people did that then we would have less people teaching and learning cr*p.
