I've been working on bunkai for my katas (Shorin-ryu). The depth of the applications is amazing.

DarklingGlory Hehe I'm sorry my japaneese isn't so hot, bunkai? Applications. What the moves are actually doing. Is funny because there's explanations for kids and newbies, but later on you get the real deal.

It is as though kata is incomplete. Bunkai completes kata.

What's sad is how much bunkai has been lost due to instructors "keeping it in the family", or some guy figuring he knows everything and starts his own school.

What's sad is how much bunkai has been lost due to instructors "keeping it in the family", or some guy figuring he knows everything and starts his own school. Bunkai is a cool part of the learning process! I think I forgot how many ways to break arms using bunkai out of kata I've learned so far. Last night at class, we were practicing pinon shodon and its complex, along with pau sai sho. (That means something like 'penetrating the fortress', I believe. 3nodding ) I don't know how prevalent complexes are elsewhere, so I'll explain - it is, as both Sensei Morgan and Sensei Borloz like to say, a halfway point between kata and sparring. Does anyone else know nahanchi shodon? blaugh Sensei Morgan says that kata has everything we need to know as martial artists, complete with movement, blocking, and attacking. whee

I do nihanchen kata (we have three). I once did the kata on a walkboard about 2 feert wide about 50 feet in the air. My boos got picture somewhere. My dad saw one of them and told me I was out of my mind. xp

crosseyedbrat i was/ am working on Henian niedan got any tips 4 me question question i cant spell crying Holy crap! I'm still horrible at Nidan. I've been working it for almost 2 years, and I hate it. It is my absolute least favorite kata that I've ever done. The main point that I teach when I show that kata, and the main point that I had so many problems with, are make sure you differentiate (sp?) between your stances. Make sure the back stance looks like a back stance, and the front looks like front. And the knife hand strikes/sword hand strikes, it doesn't matter which one you use, just keep it consistant, and keep it strong. I had the problem of every single technique I did in the kata was strong and fast, but my knife hands/sword hand strikes didn't match in the strength and speed, they were much weaker. Hope that helped a bit. smile

I occassionally freestyle on stuff, just playing around. We don't do kata at my dojo, but there's a Goju school in our association, and I learned the third Goju kata from them (the Japanese name escapes me, but I know it has "san" in it). I also learned Chang Chuan, Dragon Fist and the basic Drunken Fist while studying Northern Shaolin. I love Drunken for the exercise it gives my back, and for the kicks I can throw into it. I can't do too much aerial stuff (we're a groundfighting school, afterall), but I get okay lift.

Hope that helped a bit. smile Ni dan is usually the first kata where the students go, "alright, this just got hard". Definately work the knife hand strikes. A lot of student have difficulty getting power out of them. Also back stances, walk the floor with them. Neither of these techniques are going to go away anytime soon, trust me, so put the time in to really perfect them now. When Itosu developed the kata he did this one to really work the open hand tenchniques so the students would be prepared to use them later.
