One Minute Bunkai: Juji Uke #1

One Minute Bunkai: [www.oneminutebunkai.com]
Juji uke (X block) has many bunkai (applications), this example shows an elusive but very effective bunkai. In most examples it is shown catching a punch or a downward attack to the head. Here it is used as a direct attack since the body shift (tai sabaki) takes care of the punch, the hands meet similarly like in kata but you are catching your attackers eardrums with your hands cupped. In the next move your hands thrust down in the X-hands position to attack the radial nerve at mid-arm just below the bicep (use the shuto edge of both hands), this will quickly bring his head straight down where you literally bat it straight back with your elbow like a baseball (do not let go of his arm when you elbow, maintain your frame and stick to him). Of course we always like to show a thorough follow up just to give you ideas with a takedown when possible-- but honestly, it will be all over with the first move once those eardrums pop, do not worry about the follow-ups, always focus on each and every move so it is done with its natural intent and purpose, they will never let you down. And please don't get fancy with this stuff, keep it simple, simple WORKS!

@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 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)

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!

[guyver2095]

@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.

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

[guyver2095]

@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,

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.

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!

[guyver2095]

@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.

@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.
