Naihanchi bunkai / Effective self-defence applications

[TheJeh1020]

shouldn't bunkai work for all body types? How is a smaller person going to lift somebody as in the last application of your "bunkai". Seems like just punching and blocking with no Tuite

[moelicious1]

@TheJeh1020 The great thing about kata is it's openness to interpretation. One person's application may not be as effective for another person's body style or physical capability. In this case, a smaller person dumping a taller person is actually easier then the other way around due to physics (pulling them off balance). Also, is the person limited by the technique or their strength/balance. You can change and improve the latter with additional training.

I do like for format of this demo video very much. A good way to show your versions of a kata, and an application of its postures.

I like the music. Which artist is it and song or album?

[anttialeksanteri]

@Gieszkanne The music was just something suitable I found, I think it was called Taiko vs. Shamisen or something.

I thought I was gonna barf after watching this, but this is some cool stuff!

[MrWintersho]

Well done, no show, just your interpretation of Naihanshi (Tekki). Inapplication (not bunkai!) you follow the Kata and possibly change the exit-technique, like you did (otoshi-empi vs. uraken-uchi I think I´ve seen). Very good job, brother, thanks for sharing, application of naihanchi are numerous, so everybody can learn from this tape.Please, take my respect, Oss

That's a solid video and excellent interpretation! Good that you mixed it up and got a 'street clothes' view. :-) Thanks for the info. Colin 5th dan Taekwondo

I've been going over and over Tekki Shodan for a while and some of the techniques had me baffled as to how to make hem realistic (probably due to the embusen/sideways floor plan of the Kata). The foot sweep/nammi ashi I see you used as a kick to knee is good. Judo style foot sweeps need such good timing but to sweep it out is a bonus :D Thank you for such good work! :)

[OkinawaT]

Muy bien. Bunkais creibles y bien hechos.  Estas son las verdaderas aplicaciones de las katas que deberían practicarse en todos los Dojos de Karate. Pero no se hace así

[brownqs]

Interesting--

I've always interpreted the foot technique (I've heard it called "returning wave") as a full-on sweep. Your interpretation showed an effective way of using it more subtly as a means of distracting and slightly off-balancing the opponent for a fist/elbow to jodan. Nice!

[iasonas4]

Simple, true and therefore applicable... Thank you for the upload.

[FarouqBlack]

Wow Great JoB!!! Keep it up^^

[kenposan]

Naihanchi is my favorite kata and I picked up a couple new interpretations from this. thanks!

[anttialeksanteri]

@kenposan My pleasure. Thanks to you and others for feedback!

[RickGalaz]

Keeping it real!! good for you!

[Roger78781]

This is real karate... very good!

[iloveasiangirls]

Ahh, the version of Naihanhi I have been taught is so different, but the elements are still easily recognizable. Very good bunkai :)

[urfaceismessed]

wow this is the most effective karate I have seen. Most karate these days is horrible. Good job keep on doing what your doing.

[anttialeksanteri]

@urfaceismessed Shucks, you're making me blush... :)

[marty374]

I've never seen this version of Naihanchi. The techniques look very sound.

Thanks for sharing.

[anttialeksanteri]

My pleasure, I'm glad you liked it.

[voimaapina]

@anttialeksanteri hyvin oot tutkinu naihanchia kokeileppa samoja periaatteita matossa toimii yhtä hyvin sielläkin. ja nyt tarkoitan eri itsepuolustus tilanteita maassa en brassijujutsua.

[Nerubio]

what style of naihanchi is this?

[anttialeksanteri]

@Nerubio This is Genseiryu Naihanchi, it is mentioned in the infobox. Yuishinkai's version is almost identical, they call it Koshiki Naihanchi (old naihanchi).

[Nerubio]

@anttialeksanteri: Interesting, thanks for the info.
