unknownstyle Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 really bunkai is what ever you see, if you say "today im gonna practice bone breaks" then your katas movements can be changed up slightly to accomidate this. it is the same with anything, you can practice takedowns, kyusho, joint locks, skin ripping, bone breaks or even kill strikes you just need imagination. take what you learn from your basics and tweak it and youll be surprised with the things that youll come up with "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious."

bushido_man96 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Look into Iain Abernethy's books and websites...his sole focuse seems to revolve around bunkai and what he calls "Applied Karate." Very good stuff. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoriKid Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 If you look through his site, you'll find some free e-books that you can down load that are on bunkai. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.

hayashishodan Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 We teach "Oyo" as the application of the kata. I tell students when doing application that 2 things must happen. It must resemble the part of the kata so I know they grasp what they are doing and 2 it must work in a practical way. Karate..........The weaponless weapon........
