Yasutsune Makoto Posted July 25, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbows_and_knees Posted July 25, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
