10 FREE iTune App Downloads To Give Away: Practical Karate - Realistic Street Bunkai

A little while ago I announced that one of my DVD's, 10 Kicking Tips had been reduced (to 4 tips) and converted into an iTune App.

Well now the other DVD, Inside Bassai Dai, has also been converted into an iTune App.  Again this is a reduced version (20 minutes), but it is much cheaper and available as an instant download.

This should be of interest to people of other styles and not not just Karateka.  As this was made with a friend who practices Wing Chun, and Choi Lee Fut Kung Fu, this App should obviously be of relevant to Kung Fu practitioners.

Also one customer who bought the full DVD and practices Tae Kwon Do said:

"I liked that you were using a lot of applications from the fence and keeping it real. As you know, I train in TAGB Taekwon-do and even though we obviously don't practice Bassai Dai as part of our syllabus I discovered that a lot of the individual moves and applications from this DVD are applicable to the TKD student as some (not all) can be found in our patterns (TAGB TKD practices the chang hun tuls with hip twist instead of sine wave)".

You can see more comments from other DVD customers at the bottom of the Store page, so don't take my word for it.

As with the Kicking Tip's App before, Apple are giving away 10 promotional codes so that 10 customers can download the App for free.

I'll be giving away the 10 codes to the first 10 people that ask for them, whether it be via the BunkaiJutsu website or via the Bunkai Jutsu Facebook page.  So grab yours fast and tell your friends about it.

If you do like the App, then I would appreciate it if you left a positive review on the iTune Apple Store page, but that is up to you.

As well as being a form of health and well being, applied Tai Chi can be an effective martial art.

A little something to get you thinking :)

Tekki / Naihanchi Bunkai

One of my favorite kata's for applications is Tekki/Naihanchi.  Here's few cool moves from the third in the series, Tekki Sandan.

Kata + Bunkai ANAN by SPAIN - Female FINAL 46th EKF European Karate Championships

This is a terrific performance by the Spanish ladies.  Not the most practical of bunkai, but then it is a competition that is about visual effects rather than practically.  All the same, some great techniques.

As martial artists, we often talk about good technique, but what defines a good technique?
Some "good techniques" are good for physical development & for the "art" side, but not practical on the streets, some are good for scoring points and some are good for self defence. To define "good technique" we need to define objectives (and be respectful if another persons are different to out own).
