January 25, 200917 yr Does anyone know of Shorin-Ryu Bunkai Videos floating around on the net? I am not too concerned with Shorinkan, or Yamashita, or whatever, just as long as it is Shorin-Ryu (nothing personal to you Shotokan guys).Thanks a ton. Okinawan Karate-Do Institutehttp://okiblog.com
January 25, 200917 yr There is a really interesting site (http://www.karate.org.yu/articles.htm)with many articles,including some small bunkai videos and pictures.
January 30, 200917 yr I have only one thing to say: Youtube is your friend! I haven't searched for bunkai intensivly, but I've been able to find at least 1 video for all the shorin ryu (matsubayashi) katas.so good hunting!

January 31, 200917 yr Author I have only one thing to say: Youtube is your friend!I couldn't agree more, the problem is that there is very little Shorin-Ryu Bunkai on youtube, most of it is shotokan and/or shito-ryu. I believe the biggest divider among styles is not their kata as much as their application. Okinawan Karate-Do Institutehttp://okiblog.com
February 23, 200917 yr Well, perhaps we can add some =) "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky
February 23, 200917 yr Author Well, perhaps we can add some =)Who is your instructor(s) armanox?Perhaps that isn't a bad idea to add some...I will see what I can do when I am back home in April. Okinawan Karate-Do Institutehttp://okiblog.com
February 24, 200917 yr Who is your instructor(s) armanox?Daniel Simons is my instructor at St. Brigid Dojo. Any particular reason?

February 24, 200917 yr Author It is always great to have people of a like style to talk to. I was trying to get an idea of what differences we would have in style if you did in fact upload a video. You are from the Miyahira lineage and I am from the Nakazato lineage, but having Chibana Sensei as a common connection I think our bunkai would be similar. That's all. O and since I am currently in Philidelphia for college there is a slim possibility I could come down for a lesson if I have leave in the future.Again Thank you.
