Tai no sen is when the attacker begins an attack and is defeated before the completion of their attack. This what is being demonstrated above. Sen no sen requires Yomi, the reading of your opponent and trying to attack your opponent in the gap between intention and action. Basically, it is a first , preemptive strike to neutralize your enemy before they can implement their intentions from a thought to a physical action.
I was always taught that "sen no sen" is attack the attack (as shown above) and "sen sen no sen" is attack the thought of attack, which is what you described.
What I described above is actually the true meaning. I was also taught what you described but spoke with numerous Japanese Sensei and all explained what you see above.
@IEKUKATAKA dont worry my friend martial artists like us are not alone. i know a couple of people who would agree with you and i speak for them and for myself when i say that i hope theres more people like ourselves
@IEKUKATAKA I wouldn't wouldn't say it is erroneous to use in tournament setting. They work very well there because kumite counts only the first technique to "score". Yes, that is one of the big inherant weaknesses of kumite. But certainly, in a combat situation the time around the initial offensive technique (the only part that kumite trains) still counts. The error is in overvaluing the benefits of kumite itself, but these timing concepts are not without value.
Good Kata bunkai from Bassai Dai (or Pasai Dai). This application isn't realistic for a self-defence scenario (step over punch) but great for Kumite drills. Check out 'Download Karate' for some other alternative bunkai (and many other Kata for that matter). Osu!
