Ideally you should spend time with Sensei Abernethy in the dojo - his DVD series is clever, innovative and helpful; but nothing quite compares with actually working through his practical drills with an opponent - and being on the receiving end teaches how shatteringly effective these combinations can be. Two days of this left me with loads of bruises and a treasiure-trove of new and inspiring ideas about the function of kata!
Your stuff is amazing. Did you deduce all this information on your own or did someone teach them to you. I have NEVER seen this kind of insight into kata applications, the way you are teaching them makes it seem useable, which , no disrespect to the art, never seemed realistic IMHO. Thanks for sharing!!
What I like about this bloke is that he's Down to Earth. Just nice simple workable applications and a common sense approach. What more can you ask?
