Perhaps before analysing the defences you should ask why the attacker is using pure karate oi-tsuki/gyaku-tsuki attacks? I don't believe that karate was designed to defend against other karateka. So why practice responses to karate-based attacks?

@bertthepickle A tennis player answers the "attacks" of another tennis player by techniques of tennis player! Also for a judoka, he answers in front of techniques of judo. In fencing it is the same thing! In any disciplines it bases, codes, techniques to be respected and to be used.

@bertthepickle Un tennisman répond aux "attaques" d'un autre tennisman par des techniques de tennisman ! De même pour un judoka, il répond face à des techniques de judo. En escrime c'est la même chose ! Dans toutes disciplines il y des bases, des codes, des techniques à respecter et à utiliser.

What interest would there be to practise a martial art (which the efficiency is not to be any more proved) if we had to adopt the behavior of an aggressor of low floors? In that case made by the free fight but it will never be a martial art with all its dimensions (history etc.) We are not there to become super-heroes.

il s'agit d'un bunkai et donc d'une explication codifiée de kata. c'est une explication parmi des milliers !

Nice demonstration! Appreciated very much, will help very much with my learning.By the way, what is the name of the song?

@kerspernyves Remember Itosu's 10 precepts. The very first of which is "Karate practice should be used as a means of self-defense and in order to protect one's parents and loved ones."

[bertthepickle]

@kerspernyves can you honestly say that Itosu intended anyone to explain his kata movements like this? When he invented this kata, karate was still very much a martial art, a system of self defence. You cannot include an explanation that shows attacks using karate methods. It cannot be in any way a good explanation of what that move means. We can debate what it does mean but it's definitely not this.

@kerspernyves Further the 'history' and traditions you refer to are less than 100 years old as regards japanese style karate. The gi, the belt, the marching up and down in lines are all inventions added to karate when it was taken to Japan in the 1920s. Karate's history is MUCH older than that and I prefer to preserve the older history and traditions and not the modern version of karate adapted to teach children and young men as a fitness exercise.

@kerspernyves I never suggested that the defender respond with street thug moves just that the attacker should not be using karate techniques. Kata is a distillation of the fighting styles and methods of a number of great fighters. Therefore bunkai is the application of those fighters' techniques in response to being attacked in a realistic manner. It's not karate vs karate.

[bertthepickle]

@kerspernyves with respect, you cannot compare karate to judo or tennis or fencing. All three of those are sports whereas karate is a martial art. Yes, fencing and judo have roots in real fighting but have been sports and nothing else for a long time. Are you saying that karate is a sport only? Or that you teach karate as a sport only?

When new students come to the dojo asking to learn self defence do you send them away because you teach sport karate and not real karate?
