Bassai Dai is one of the 26 standard Shotokan katas. Whether you're learning Bassai for the first time or are just looking for some tips, this video is for you. I'll take you through the kata step-by-step and provide for help with technical execution of movements. I also provide the Japanese names for the movements in the corner of your screen.

Nice instruction and demo. We do the TSD/TKD verson called Pal Saek Hyung which diminshes the accplication even more than the "Japanized" Okinawan forms from Shotona and the others.Three things I find sort of sad is that people do not bother learning and using proper terms for things. 1) Mass is dropped and put behind punches/kicks, not weight and 3) speed and quickness are NOT the same thing, A person can be fast but not quick and vice versa. 2) For those wondering, the proper name for the "overhand punch" is called a "cross" in boxing terminology (the rear straight is is a rear straight NOT a cross). The cross is a very skillful defence against straight punches (argue this fact with Jack Dempsey, not me).

Hello Mr. Allen(and everyone), we are thinking about reconfiguring our basement so we can practice Karate at home. How much space is needed for an adult to do kata comfortably? Thanks, I hope, and take care!

I guess that depends on the katas you want to do and how long your legs are. I have a building I use that is 16' x 20' which is plenty big for most kata.

@@AppliedShotokan , thanks for the reply and love the videos BTW. I'm 6'2 and we have about 13 x 19 to work with. We have kids too (but would only practice one at a time), so we're looking at the Heians, Bassai Dai, and Jion. 16 x 20 seems pretty close to 13x19, do you think that would be sufficient?

The technique after the Tate-shutō-uchi-uke isn't quite an Uchi-uke, as it only uses one arm. It's official name is Mae-ude-hineri-uke, I.e. front arm twist recieve, or formarm twist block, in more intelligible English.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, I used the Best Karate Series, Volume 6 for the terminology. There it is described at chudan uchi uke.

I believe is was Motobu who said that the kata always had names but the individual techniques didn't. Those names for techniques came later with the Japanization of the art and it's important to consider that the ones naming the movements didn't necessarily understand the original bunkai, so why get bogged down with terminology? I picked this up from one of Iain Abernethy's videos and according to him, the meaning of the japanese names should often be disregarded when trying to understand the bunkai.
