  • Still "ritualized" (which makes it "good-looking" and "clean"), but uke attacks from a realistic distance and the applications are simple and effective. I wish all bunkai vids on yt were like this! Very much appreciated! Thanks a lot!

  • It is a teaching tool,but the ideas and concepts are real and applicable. I appreciate your comments, and your compliment makes this whole effort worthwhile. Thank you very much for recognizing it.

  • I believe, the sidestep is integral part of the blocking action, and you don't have to move so far, since punches and kicks have a very slight chance of redirection once triggered, you don't have to move far away, depending your intentions, so once unbalanced the enemy is "locked" in position because the structure of the way he is forced to stand keeps the attacker unable to move or he can fall to ground.

  • @guyver2095

    Good points, I would like to add that these bunkai are for dealing with "committed" attacks, not feints or half hearted punches–you deal with that stuff differently. I will cover in some other examples how to deal with them "head on" so that you forcefully intercept the attack and not just let it go past you.

  • @Oneminutebunkai Thanks, I am a TKD practitioner since some time ago.

    When I was a beginner, me and my friends were starting doing poomsae (palgwe forms) and we find "oddities" and inconsistencies that nobody can explain to us so, we have to refer to Karate Katas to find out, in Time Palgwe was replaced with "Modern" Taeguk forms to add some more confusing things so, finally we end here.

    Tae kwon do have something like bunkai, but only Corean masters seems to know it.

  • Dear guyver2095,

    You are not alone, lots of people look elsewhere to find answers. The old chinese systems are most complete when it comes to retaining the fighting applications. Outside of China it is hit and miss according the ryu or dojo. I have always cross-trained and researched extensively to see what's out there. And this whole thing about masters knowing stuff and not teaching to their students usually means they don't know jack, it is a cop-out, don't believe them they are insincere.

  • @Oneminutebunkai Many masters don't teach their students their "secrets"because they don't trust them or don't know how t. The reality is that you have to practice many years so you can execute this bunkai teachings before you can use them in real life, and in that process a master can get to know their students so he can decide if its worthy or not to teach this things.

  • Dear guyver2095,

    I would bet the majority simply DON'T KNOW. They could be awesome fighters but this stuff called Bunkai is not intuitive. Bunkai is making a revival now because people are figuring out on their own. Very little of what I do here was taught to me.

  • @Oneminutebunkai Yes I agree, but in all fields always there must be researchers and pioneers. You know, this knowledge is very important, because it doesn't matter if you do it perfectly the important is to have the idea and the state of mind to do it when you need it.

    My point is that have more knowledge can save your life, no matter what, and fot those who don't agree and believe that Street fighting is better because you have more freedom of choice and less boundaries,

  • @Oneminutebunkai I only can told them that they are wrong! because of the lack of technique, target, physical conditioning, etc

  • @Oneminutebunkai I'm very grateful with you an all people that are publishing videos like this, because you are teaching great things for all levels of practitoners and maybe rescuing some old practitioners from abandon martial arts because they get bored or as in my case, I want to have new material for my nephews that are learning from me and who knows maybe this knowledge can save their lives someday.

    Thanks for this videos and greetings from Mexico.

  • Dear guyver2095,

    So many of us have gotten bored doing the same boring kihon at some point or another. It is this kind of stuff that makes our Karate come to life. It has always supposed to have been this way.

    Make it come to life for you and your students it is up to you and me (our generation). We cannot let it go to waste! GIve yourself permission to break all the molds and allow your imagination to explore!

  • @Oneminutebunkai Así se habla! as we say in México, we have to be creative, look for innovations and earch in the roots of the martial art at the same time, I'm looking for some info about the alignment between you and your opponent now, see you soon and thanks.

    I'm going to look forward for your videos, they are great.

    Cheers from México, God bless you.

  • Dear guyver2095,

    Eres Mexicano? El Karate es un idioma universal. What are you looking for in particular when you talk about alignment? You naci en Cuba!

  • @Oneminutebunkai Si amigo mio, soy Mexicano y utilizo este canal para hacer promoción de ciertas cosas de derechos humanos para mis familiares y amigos, aunque mi interés en las artes marciales es de por vida.

    Cuando hablo de alineación, me refiero a la posición relativa al oponente al ejecutar las técnicas que te permite 1) Aprovechar tu fuerza al máximo y regresar al argesor el ataque 2) alejarte de la posible arma que utilizará en la respuesta (Mano, pie, codo,) etc)

  • @Oneminutebunkai Discúlpa que no haya respondido hasta ahora, estimado amigo.

    1)Si, soy Mexicano de donde apreciamos mucho a Cuba.

    2) si el Arte marcial que trasciende la violencia absurda es un arte universal que creo, eleva a las personas que lo practican y a la vez debe hacerlas humildes para ser mas útiles a la sociedad y mejorar como personas.

    3) En mi comentario me refería a algo como "Aspects of Alignment" o "Principles Applied" del canal de budoya369.

    Saludos!

  • @Oneminutebunkai As "Sonata of peace" user wrote, some people believe that blocking is only raise your hands and what you depicted here is step after step after step doing, some movements are a unity and others are different stages. It take years of practice to do in such a way that you could make them with the appropriate speed and power, so you must very diligent with the practice of this.

  • The bunkai applications are certainly very effective and creative and I do not doubt their functionality. However, I wonder about your thoughts on how you portrayed them. For example, side-stepping an attack is theoretically possible, but it's always much different in a live, fast, furious, and dangerous environmental situation where sometimes you cannot anticipate such attacks quick enough.

  • @SonataOfPeace

    Side stepping is not just theoretical, it is the main course for many established martial arts, BUT you make a great point. I teach that in close quarters an attack will come with no time to shift or move, thus you MUST stand your ground and defend against it. But this requires a solid constitution and a strong fighting character behind your eyes. These examples here are middle range, I will have some examples of close range later on. Thanks for bringing this up.
