Team Kata Bunkai for Unsu

Here's another team kata bunkai event for Unsu.  Again, a very good display of skill, but I don't think that many of those karate bunkai would really work in a street self defense situation.  Great to watch though.

 

Team Kata Bunkai

I don't think that these Kata bunkai competitions give the most realistic display of Karate bunkai, but I still like to see them for the speed, accuracy and co-ordination.

 

Turning To The Dark Side And Mama Bear!

OK, its a bit of a bizarre title, but bear with me.  Most martial artists know that martial arts are supposed be a form of self development ("Do").  Yet we train to train to hurt, maim and possible kill other human beings!  How do we reconcile training to hurt others, with becoming better people.  Check out the link below and find out.   http://bunkaijutsu.com/2011/01/08/turning-to-the-dark-side-and-mama-bear/

DVD Endorsment By Shihan Kousaku Yokota, 8th Dan Shotokan Karate

I have recently been honored to receive the following endorsement by Shihan Yokota (8th Dan) for my DVD "Inside Bassai Dai":-

"Over the holidays I had a very pleasant experience watching one Shotokan bunkai DVD. It is called Inside Bassai Dai created by Sensei Charlie Wildish, UK. I found the bunkai in it to be realistic and easy to learn. He demonstrates how some of the techniques are applied. I was particularly pleased to see the application for double uchi uke (inside forearm blocks). He interprets them as a uke followed by a uraken".
