Kakie, the pushing hands technique, is often neglected, or used too simply as just a conditioning exercise. in karate. We chip a little off the bunkai iceberg by showing how kakie can be used to tease the bunkai out of Shisochin, a senior kata specific to Goju Ryu, and brought back from mainland China by Kanryo Higashionna Sensei.
Filmed during lockdown for FB Live, hence the format.
We pick out just 3 moves from this graceful, but deadly kata, and show how you can use kakie to effectively implement the bunkai hidden just under the surface of the kata.
