Meaning What?

photo 2It is EXTREMELY important that students understand the function of moves in the forms.  We want to avoid the trap of forms becoming a non-martial dance.  Each move should have a function.  Students should know that function.  Students should drill that function with a partner.  The move should look the same with a partner and without so that when they are doing the form without a partner people watching can be all “wow… I can actually see them throwing someone with that.”

Practice hard.  Practice function.
