risingsunproductions.net presents Shito Ryu Karate master Shogo Kuniba is said to have been one of the best when it came to understanding the Bunkai of karate see why.
I had the great privledge and Honor to study with Soke Kuniba in the Portsmouth, Va
Dojo around 1985. He was a wonderful and talented instructour, but even greater husband and father and I was proud to call him my friend. He inspired me to continue my martial arts training many years later, finally earning my San Dan in Uechi ryu karate, when he passed the world suffered a profound loss.
Was that 1990 tournament in Sylvester Ga? I was a member of the IKKU at that time under Soke Ruiz (He became Hanshi at that tournament) and was there.
Soke was my instructor, from begining to end, and I miss him.
Soke's greatest teaching was that karate was about family. If you trained with him, you know his family was in the dojo. He was as a father to me.
As far as bunkai goes...Soke taught us how to think for ourselves. And that one movement did not have only one meaning. Shito Ryu is a living style that has the ability to change. He encouraged us to experiment with new bunkai.

Ufortunately I am too young to have met him, but in the future I should get a chance to meet his Son Soke Kozo Kuniba.
