BUNHAE JOURNEY episode 5

"What's the deal with chambered hand and passive hands?"

So the topic about the use of the chambered hand, whether on the ribs, or on the hips has been hotly debated in recent years. A great deal of time has been devoted to the ongoing "Hikite Wars" of the new milleneum. (lol)

While not really getting into the debate, I'd like to offer some thoughts as to what OTHER possibility lies in the use of the hand on the ribs, and while we are at it, I'd like to talk a bit about the guarding hand or passive hand. (...not for power generation... thanks Iain ;)

For the last number of years, I've been on a search to find the practical application of Traditional Martial Arts forms... My upbringing in Tang Soo Do, and the dissection of the core material (Bunkai/Bunhae) has been a springboard to understanding my current system of Pilsung Moo Do.

BUNHAE is Korean meaning to dissect, break apart and analyze. The more common term is Bunkai in Japanese.
The study of Bunhae is paramount to fully understanding and learning to apply the movements found in traditional martial arts.

This series is a journey of discovery as we try to unlock practical application for the movements found in the Traditional Martial Arts for the purpose of self-protection.

The style practiced at RMAI is known as Pilsung Moo Do is a modern martial art which draws its influence mainly from it's root styles of Tang Soo Do and Taekwondo, but also incorporates joint locking, throwing, and grappling from Hapkido and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
