  • I'm sorry to say that, in my humble III Dan opinion, "bunkai" (or better "kaisetsu") like these are mostly a waste of time.

    One who sees these footages can only ask "Why must I go towards my attacker? Why those useless rotations? Why no guard?" and many other questions.

    Sorry. I can't say I like it.

  • Ok, I see where you are coming from, if the techniques were meant to be hidden, then why make them public? Good point. However, Iha Sensei should be concerned about people thinking that his black belts don't know proper kata bunkai? Maybe they should not post poor videos and incorrectly call them "bunkai" videos because it makes them look like they don't know what they are doing. Also, why give someone a Shodan without having at least basic knowledge of bunkai? Only McDojos do that!!!

  • I never disagreed with the statements about the depth of karate, only with the statement that tuite or kyusho jutsu needs to be posted on youtube. These are Iha Sensei's students, and I have been to several of Iha Sensei's seminars. I am sure that he teaches his higher dans tuite, kansetsu waza, and kyusho jitsu.

  • Actually, what everyone else stated is more on target. What looks like a block may be a strike or a joint manipulation, what looks like a jump might be a take down. The whole point of bunkai is that it is not obvious. If you just interpret kate based on what looks obvious, then you are not interpreting it correctly. This is a very basic and universally known principle amongst karate Masters. It is established philosophy that is not subject to opinion, it's a historical fact.

  • I disagree with all of you. Battles are won by deception. This is all that needs to be posted on youtube.  Let the world think what it wants.

  • Sakugawa Sensei, Pechin Yara Sensei, and Kyan Sensei would probably be in a state of disapproval watching this.

  • true

  • Lots of the joint locks and throws are missing from the bunkai that is taught in many schools. mainly because someone learned the kick punch bunkai, and decided to open a dojo. Seeing (and feeling, if you get to be so lucky) a master (kyoshi or hanshi) demonstrate the upper level bunkai is the only way you'll ever learn it or learn to decode it from the kata. It's all in there and its devastatingly effective. One must remember that each kata is its own complete fighting system.

  • I agree with you . They made a good bunkai , but in this one the "joint lock" moves are clearly in the kata .

    Osu !

  • Not bad for punch-kick karate, but Shorin-ryu is so much more than that. The style includes a variety of tuite techniques, and they're all in the kata if you know where to look. Why not showcase some of the joint locks, chokes and throws in your bunkai?
