No introduction. No lengthy commentary. Just straight into the action. I love it!

Although I tend to agree to some extent with a couple of the critics as re "real world" self defense, I also appreciate one principle, perhaps obvious to most others: Immediate, fast, powerful, direct, and comparatively simple defense is usually the best defense - at least as the first line stage. Also perhaps obvious to others is the observation that IF one can square off at such distance with an assailant, then it is likely that he/she can get the hell out of the combat scene rather than wait for an attack. Finally, I think most of these impressive, direct counter attacks could be done as well with the defender gets off line rather than just moving straight back. There is really a lot that is worthwhile in this video. One just has to think for himself and adapt, making sure not to throw out, as some of the critics seem to do, the baby with the bathwater. A person who plays the piano at a high level does not toss out the basic drills and disciplined practices just because he knows that a concert performance is not going to "look" anything like them. I'm pretty sure that a fellow such as Ian Abernathy totally gets the importance of practicing basics so that one can build upon them. It's ultimately up to the student; the expert, as in these videos, cannot give it to him/her. But he can, and does, point the way. If karate application is not creative and adaptive, it is very little.

Oss!!! Thanks. So much enlightment!!! Oss!!!

Great video, well presented. That’s it

amazing technique :-)

The haiwan uke-square block is designed to block a jodan zuki-high punch I understand every dojo has it's own interputation of a Kara don't forget about throws

Excelente! Bem claro!

No pierdas la Fe en ti guerrero que hasta el más fuerte sabe caer... No pierdas el ritmo guerrero que hasta el más torpe se sabe hallar a sí mismo. Oss

Awesome! Oss!

These are extremely good bunkai instructional videos. Thank you very much. Ooss! I especially like the various interpretations of the same movements as this shows the meaning of kata.

Meci beaucoup 👍👍👍

Wonderful stuff!

bien ce video

Nice video Sar #dasgolap

Everyone criticizing this guy, honestly not everyone is going to move exactly the same. Hell, block a move hit them back. That's self defense. Over analyzing a technique shouldn't be a concern. This guy is sharp, and his applications are his own. Kudos.

what style is this? the reinforced block around 3:52 is wide? or is it because this is the bunkai ?

Molto interessante

1.23 it is Yoko Keage not Yoko kekomi right? At least on Shotokan Karate. Yoko kekomo might be too slow. But good job anyways :)

😅

Very nice stuff. It would also be nice to see bunkai done from basic punches and grabs that you would see in the street such as big haymaker punches and grabs.

good trick .....

Great application

Vous vous trompez ce n'est pas l'application du kata. C'est un mouvement lent. C'est une luxation de poignet. Technique que l'on retrouve au tai-chi et en aïkido. Ce n'est pas du tout ce que vous démontrez.

Good bunkai tech 5 stars. Oszz

Very first one shown in this video: Why would you ever even do this if someone attacked you? This is some of the dumbest bunkai I have ever seen.

Not the complete Bunaki; Hiza geri doesn't really make sense; first your opponent is going to the front; then trying to sweep it the other way? Looks good at firs glance, but needs some work.

Since when have you ever seen an attack like this in the street ! Ha ha absolutely never !

Amazing technique if your attacker is a manikin.

this is tight but no body fights like this anymore your oponent wont throw just 1 punch and stand still, this will work only on simple minded that never trained how to fight, now in 21 sent. fighting is modernized, u are 70 percent more likely to enter a fight with some douche that done or is training mma and 30 % of some one who has never trained or used to wrestle at school

Bullshit right off the bat first move fail

No

.garnler

That's the incorrect way to block a punch to block jodan zuki-High punch and gyaku zuki reverse punch age uke-rising block and soto uke-outside block mucho uke-inside block

Omg I kept watching it got worse I hate to be like this almost none of this is real n very little would work with a non participant or a completely wasted drunk
