Learn practical Karate applications (bunkai) for Heian / Pinan kata, also called Pyung Ahn in Taekwondo. These kata were created by Itosu Anko and modernized by Gichin Funakoshi. The bunkai include grappling, tegumi, throws, takedowns and joint locks. These are traditional self-defense techniques from Okinawa - the birthplace of Karate.

@@MZONE3D I never use two handed blocks as they leave you with no fall back defense if the initial attack is a good feint. I was sparring with a brown belt from Hong Kong. He was a typical southern Chinese, thin and very fast and with excellent technique. I went to cross block his chudan mae geri but it turned out to be a feint and he retracted his kicking leg slightly and then executed a perfect jodan mae geri over my cross block, stopping it 1/2" from my chin. I stopped, bowed, thanked him for not kicking my head off my shoulders and never used a two handed block again. With his kicking leg already forward he would not have had a lot of hip power behind his front kick but I have dropped guys with jodan lead leg mawashi geri so I have no doubt that he could have dropped me if he hadn't been such a fine and moral karateka.

Osu very informative Sensei Jesse! In fact, I think that's a common problem in many dojos where practitioners are shown dojo moves, katas and techniques but are not shown how to adapt their techniques to the street. I also read somewhere that even many high ranking black belts have been in an actual street confrontation! I train in Ninjutsu which as you know, is the art of stealth. Even though it is an art all to itself, we train in kata and kobudo. We also get a little bit of military style training because both of my masters were in the Marines. I love kata because for me it's training in strength and focus but we also train in real life scenarios and attack situations. I find it's a must because we're located in NYC. But we're also taught that no matter where you are, an attack can come from anywhere at anytime.

Kata and Bunkai were the cornerstones of my Karate education. I've been an active martial artist for 39 years, and I owe a lot of my understanding to proper Bunkai: Something that is lacking from 99% of martial arts schools in my opinion. Most Bunkai taught is total bunkum.

@gettingoutdoors256 5 жыл бұрын

In most karate dojo’s In the United States they do not practice like this at all. It’s mostly Kata’s, Meditations and stretching the whole time. Once in a while they might throw on the headgear and pads and do some light spiring but that only helps you in tournaments and teaches striking distance, but doesn’t help you at all in the street when somebody is rushing you with fast forward punches and then trying to take you to the ground. But this is why I like your channel so much you show a side of karate that I didn’t know existed. Old-school karate mixed with a little small circle jujitsu ❤️

Unfortunately alot of karate schools have trained that way (karate sport) for many years. Which is why people from the outer karate circle, Do not believe or understand the truth about traditional karate . People will practice and learn a kata for years without being told the real reason for its purpose. Lucky for us sensei Jesse has the knowledge and experience of traditional karate and is sharing for us to understand.

As you know as a Shito Ryu student that Pinan Shodan is the first kata that you showed as the second kata. Funakoshi changed it as he thought Pinan Shodan was a longer and harder kata to learn than Pinan Nindan. He also changed the kata name from Pinan to Heian for Japanese translation. Kuniba Shogo Soke, said that Funakoshi trained in his fathers dojo one time, and said it was too violent. All that aside, your kata resembles Shito Ryu, and not Shotokan karate and your form and kime is beautiful Sensei Jesse. OSU!!!!

Watching your bunkai, i am reminded of some tips i understood myself: 1) the fundamental part of understanding the applications are not the starting positions or the ending positions, but rather the movements that brings from A to B. Herein lies THE application 2) the same application not CAN but WILL BE FOR SURE found in other katas under a different shape; i.e. defence against the same situation performed by a different move, OR the same move or principle that will however look different, but it's still the same move On a side note: thanking God, you do not list Pinan/Heian by putting the second before the first, you start with Shodan, then Nidan, wich is the actual meaning in Japanese, yet there's schools or styles that do otherwise

my former dojo's interpretation of karate was a really hard one. My sensei told me ones that were are no throws, takedowns and so one, expect the 7 from funakoshi. My interpretation was always what i see in your videos. 5 years ago i left my dojo and so my karate evolved into something "softer" - i use more bars, takedowns, throws and so one. Mostly my interpretations are in the way you do it. But im really glad to see that i you give me some more ideas. I really wish i could thank you with some other ideas from me. :)

You teach Bunkai very well. The teachers in my dojo spent too little time on Bunkai. Bunkai need to be understood, but also practiced a lot. The moves aren’t super hard, especially if you’re more advanced, but it takes many, many reps till it becomes second nature. The same with sparring tactics. They didn’t teach us that. So, everybody follows instinct- they keep backing up. They don’t practice to learn self defense, or even score a point in kumite. They just try to keep from getting hit. That’s why 90% of white and yellow belts quit. Keep it up, Jesse. You totally have it right.

I'm so happy to see there is someone who I believe carries the legacy of engaging Karateka in not only technical aspects but passing on historical understanding of traditional karate. Never one to rest on your laurels, you always question and research. I trained for 28 years with the renowned Karate Instructor and Martial Arts author, Dr. Clive Layton and would encourage you to meet. He has trained with and written biographies for some of the greatest Karate Masters in the world, and been responsible for deep insight and historical research into Karate and other aspects of martial arts. Plus technically, I have never met a more technically brilliant kata exponent. I think you're a kindred spirit and would point you towards his books as a starting point. Keep up with the good work, oss

very good!!! 👍 We do many application drills but also we do it in free style without pressure like a easy sparring. Most in the near distances and grappling. This is a great training of learning the body mechanics and teaching fast improvisation. Because the partner should be incorporate and doing opposite techniques. This is in my eyes the key. It's like rolling on the ground. This teaches enormous.

Bunkai are always fun to learn and play around with. Our instructors would, on regular occasion, make use do mirror image kata as a way to help us avoid becoming better on one side or the other. We also did turns with rotation in the opposite direction (such as rotating to the inside vs. outside) and another good modifier is retreating instead of advancing. With all of those variations you can adapt bunkai pretty easily when something doesn't work. I think this was my favorite part of learning kata, but man does it make your brain hurt trying to do something so unfamiliar. :)

as someone with only an inherited karate background and did mostly mma (my lifelong coach started from shotokan, kyokushin and judo then transitioned to BJJ). Sensei's Jeese's bunkai vids are really one of the only ones i will watch, the reasonings and adaptations for actual combat are sound and hell, it looks applicable even in a cage or the streets. Prime example is that knife arm with the whole arm instead of just the wrist, i do it without realizing it until now in grappling as a transition to takedown defense or just a way for me to have a better posture when clinching. I just wish Sensei would do bunkai vids much more 😢
