Thank you sensei8. Kuma has been awesome already, I was surprised someone who knew about him responded so quickly. I've already ordered Mr Titchen's book on Kuma's evaluation of him and some of the videos i've looked up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AJEspzJng8&list=PLhcLRLwER_tgPm8HQXIofyCzLXW-iAGtn This one is especially good I really like the way that he's responding to a more normal attack rather than karate man attacks karate man sort of thing.

Since kanku sho is more reactionary than some kata it could be that the oi-tsuki is actually someone pulling you forward, with a cross grab, by the wrist and the ude-uke would put them into an s bend, with the second oi-tsuki to put them into an arm lock.

I was actually looking at a bunkai seminar a wado friend told me about of the Heian flow system on the 25 August but that stuff in armour looks amazing. Have you been to anything he's done in the past? I'd really like to see how my stuff compares in a more real situation, point sparring just doesn't quite cut it for me I really want to see how I would hold up with something a little more lifelike.

Hey guys, been floating around this forum for a while now and like what is going on, I joined to ask the question whether anyone out there has any info on a John Titchen. He's a UK based kata bunkai chap, I was thinking about going on a seminar of his and wondered if anyone knew anything about him or trained with him at any point. Kind of a long shot but thought I'd give it a go. Thanks in advance.
