  • The final technique looks very similar to an Aikido shihonage. I do both Karate and Aikido and will be expected to do bunkai to kanku dai at my next grading so that is hugely useful. always trying to find where I can introduce my Aikido into various applications :)

  • Good job Tom, miss training with you guys.

  • Your video should be named: '' Bunkai for Kanku Dai'', since ''Bunkai'' is the appropriate term... But the video itself is quite good.

  • nice bunkai, but you should show the full technique, the black belt who is demonstrating with you should be able to break fall..nice job though.

    cheers

  • Great......"reverse engineering".....such pooh...........

    try and remember this....let alone make it work...when you are in a real and very "fearful" situation.....

    Give me a break..............

  • ~~GREAT~~~~~

  • not too bad. not too bad.

  • Thanks for sharing. Both of the throws you demonstrate look like legitimate uses of the movements in the kata.

    Serious karate students seem happy to share information; that's a good thing.

  • for the application on the throw try to think more of the left arm (forearm to elbow) being an attack to the face not just a collar grab. I have seen many people do the application you are showing (i.e. the collar grab) but I think that misses the power and damage that can be caused with the arm attack in conjunction - or instantaneously before the throw. I like the second application with the arm grab -- nice discovery as this is usually explained as an upward block.

  • well thought out and very clever but in the heat of a fight with adrenalin pumping fine motor skills are the first thing that goes and we rely on simple movement

  • you muppet. It's the bunkai for a kata, not a self-defence move.

  • do i know u no didnt think so train more talk less maybe u ll learn something why resort to name calling sign of a small immature child kata and self defence are 1 and the same if taught and learnt properly if u cant get ur point across in a civilized manner be quite

  • yes this is a good application

  • Inspiring! I'm looking forward to see how sensei bunkai the rest of the kata, like upper block+knife hand strike then front kick then change direction+lower block:->

  • Same here!  Please update me when you have the rest of the applicaiton video uploaded! Thank you!
