I never understood why some styles have a jump there either. I never questioned it, I assume it serves a purpose. In Koybayashi Ryu we have a throw in that place (view kata below)

I prefer this explanation as opposed to blocking a kick with your arms. That said I think the guy doing the counting in Japanese needs a bit of "crash" course in pronunciation.
Still, bought a smile to my face.

Thanks, Zanshin. I know that many times the bunkai of the techniques doesn't really match what it appears to in the form.
In our TKD form Toi Gye, we have a similar move.

The way I look at it is that Kata has many different levels of function ranging from the "physiological" (and the training of the body for strength agility, balance and timing etc.), to the explanation and therefore understanding of martial techniques.
The key is to get a good instructor who can unlock all of katas potential for you.
Can you post a link to a vid of "Toi Gye" so I may compare.
Thanks...

Thanks for digging that up for me, ps1. I have been out the past few days!
That is basically the same form I do, but the way our school does it is much quicker, and without the sine wave (bouncing) motions, and the hand techniques are not as circular. Also, when we finish the downward X-block, we are much lower to the ground, and squatting more.
