Karate Connections

After going over the orange belt tape a few times, I notice that
when going from a neutral bow to a forward bow WHILE
executing a punch, only the back foot moves. But while going
from a neutral bow to a forward bow, just in the stance work,
they're shifting on the balls of both feet. Not sure why, but my
concern was only while executing a punch.

The pdf you're speaking of confuses matters a bit. I interpret it
the same as you do.

thanks. i'm glad it wasn't just me.

you have a tape at least to see what their doing-- are they locking their rear leg out when they rotate into a forward bow-? be interested to see how what he's advocating compares to what their really teaching.
