Would love to get some opinions on the bunkai of the Sukui Uke in Bassai Dai. I'm referring to the scooping block motion repeated twice after a powerful spin. As I'm sure most have, I've heard all the catching a kick and grabbing it bunkai but for some reason, that doesn't sit well with me. Doesn't do much to explain why the stance is relatively sideways to your attacker, the other hand, etc. I've been thinking of it from a ground fighting option a bit more. The spin can be seen as a throw and the sukui uke as an arm lock? Trying to work it through and would love some ideas.
