The new Beyond Bunkai DVD is now on sale! The DVD is for the more experienced bunkai practitioner who is ready to drill the applications of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan in a flowing, unscripted and realistic way. The drill makes use of applications for the entirety of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan and progresses on nicely from the information presented in Bunkai-Jutsu 2 and The Masters Seminar: Seminars Vol. 3. If you are someone who has a solid grasp of bunkai training, I feel sure you’ll really enjoy this one.The DVD presents the drill in a series of elements so that the drill can be advanced by adding in the additional elements as progress is made. If you read the “blurb” below you can find out more about the nature of the drill and the DVD.As long term newsletter subscribers will know, we filmed this DVD earlier in the year and we are delighted to be able to bring it to you before Christmas! This is entirely due to the great job done by Harbour View Productions and Outpost Editing who pulled out all the stops to bring this DVD to you. The replicators have also done a great job and the DVD covers and disk images have came out great. Needless to say, I’m really happy to be able to get this one out to you all!While many martial artists use the “my mate has a video camera” approach to DVD production, we always use professional people when filming and editing our DVDs. The results are always well worth it because a DVD made on the cheap looks cheap. Whereas a DVD that has cost thousands of pounds to produce looks like it has cost thousands of pounds to produce! As I say, I’m delighted with this one, both in terms of content and style, and I would rank it as my personal favourite.As I say, I’m excited that the DVD is now available and I look forward to hearing what you all think about it!All the best,IainPS Thanks to all for the very kind words on the “My Stance on Stances” podcast! I appreciate it!
Beyond Bunkai Now On Sale! This DVD presents a unique non-scripted flow drill that includes all the motions found within Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan. Ideal for the more experienced bunkai practitioner, and essentially infinite in its variations, this drill shows the depth of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan and includes gripping skills, head-butting, biting, gouging, seizing, locking, controlling limbs, chokes, cranks, takedowns and close-range kicking.This drill is also unlike most flow drills in that it is not carefully scripted nor does it involve giving up a position of advantage so your partner can have their turn. The drill instead enables the practitioner to dominate at close-range, flow past any obstructions the enemy may present, safely escape, and practise applying the bunkai of the kata in a realistic context. This DVD also includes a breakdown of the kata itself and a discussion on the history of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan.Iain Abernethy is one of the world’s leading exponents of kata application and practical karate. He has been invited all over the globe to teach his approach and to help people return to the original combative nature of the traditional martial arts.
Bunkai-Jutsu: Practical Kata Applications Volume 2 - Naihanchi / Tekki & Passai / Bassai-Dai (DVD)Bunkai-Jutsu is the analysis of the karate katas (forms) and their application in real combat. The fighting applications of the katas is one of the most fascinating and sadly misunderstood aspects of karate practice.Volume two covers Naihanchi (Tekki) and Passai (Bassai-Dai). Today, Naihanchi / Tekki is often undervalued due to its simplistic appearance. This DVD shows the highly effective close-range fighting applications of the form and reveals just why the kata was so highly regarded by the masters of old.The second part of the program covers Passai / Bassai-Dai kata and demonstrates the strikes, throws, takedowns, locks, neck-cranks, chokes, combative strategies etc that have made this form one of the most popular in the history of karate.
Kata-Based-Sparring (DVD)Kata and sparring are two essential elements of karate. The kata were created to record the techniques, concepts and methodology that the past masters used in civilian combat. However, in many modern Dojos sparring is now entirely based on the rules of competitive karate and therefore has little in common with the principles of traditional kata or the needs of self-protection.In this unique DVD, karate expert lain Abernethy returns to a traditional approach to sparring, with the kata as its foundation. Learn the building blocks of lain's kata-based-sparring concept through the numerous live drills shown on this DVD, and gain the confidence and ability to apply the combative methods of the kata when it really counts.
This DVD records Iain's teaching at the Summersdale Master's Seminar in August 2005. This landmark seminar saw some of the UK's leading martial artists - from a variety of differing arts and styles - teach together for the very first time.On this DVD you'll get to see Iain Abernethy 5th dan Karate (BCA & EKGB) teach a detailed session on covering and clinching. These vitally important close-range skills are a must for all martial artists, regardless of style or system.Aside from the simplicity of the techniques themselves, what is remarkable is that Iain clearly shows how the techniques taught are found within Naihanchi / Tekki kata! This aspect of Iain's teaching enthralled both karateka and non-karateka alike. No other DVD on the market shows how Naihanchi / Tekki records all aspects of fighting from a clinch. Indeed, this aspect of the kata has never even been previously presented in Iain's own works!The techniques shown include covering, clinching, taking away the opponent's weapons, escaping from the clinch, striking from a clinch, countering an opponent's grip and more! All aspects of clinch fighting are covered and this DVD is a must watch for any martial artist wishing to enhance their understanding close-range combat.
