aefibird Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 I agree. Thre isn't just 'one' set bunkai for each movement. A lot of it is open to each karateka's interpretation. There'a always new ways to look at a kata. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
G95champ Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 Yeah try and think of every possible situation and then apply that move. Ask your self the following. 1 offense or defense 2 his left or right side 3 his from or his back 4 weapon def or open hand 5 could this be a throw 6 how does the move before or after set this up 7 is it used more than once in this kata or other kata and what is it doing there thats just a few things i try and look at when breaking down kata Im sure there is more.
