Is it the same in all disciplines of martial arts? The same name or the same gesture?
I'm curious because I saw a demonstration over the weekend, and it seemed like all of the students just kind of blew it off at the end of their routines, as just knuckles together, a half nod of the head, turn and exit, all in one motion. I always thought it was a move like any other and the same importance as the landing in gymnasitcs. It just struck me that if parents are sending their kids to this studio to learn discipline and self-confidence, this kind of hasty exit showed neither.
But then I'm just a couch potato, myself, what do I know?
