Yasutsune Makoto Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 What is war but self-defence for an entire society? One side fights to propogate its way of life while the other fights to maintain their own. Gi, Yu, Rei, Jin, Makoto, Melyo, Chugo
elbows_and_knees Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Applications (bunkai, oyo) of kata are for self-defense, when there is no other alternative than to defend yourself or our loved one/s. Applications are meant for the street, in street situations, not against trained fighters or kobudo practitioners.they used "peasant weapons" in okinawa, did they not? a bo would've been pretty common place. Or, an Oar. Even today, people walk around with canes and umbrellas.
