Gyaku Zuki Dachi ?

Hi Maicon
Going by Shingo Ohgamis' book on Wado Kata. They are two moves and should be
performed as such i.e jun Zuki in jun Zuki stance and Gyaku Zuki in Gyaku Zuki
Stance. However Wadokai have standardized it so sfter the kick you land in
Gyakuzuki Dachi and therefore no foot movement is required. I dont think there
is a right or wrong way to perform it. Just depends which organisation you
belong to and what your Sensei teaches.
