Regarding the kata Bassai Dai, what is the bunkai of moving your feet to the right instead of to the left, at the very beginning of the kata? Also, what is the application of the first move (the falling forward move). Thanks.
the first move of Bassai Dai is a hard attack as u may know Bassai Dai, means to penatrat the fortress the greater so the first move is the intial penatration hense the lean and the kiai as for your second question im not quite sure what u mean sorry Kenshin
Think of various attacks and how you can use the movement. there is always many meanings to every move. depends on the attack.
