I'm making Empi kata (Wanshu for non-Shotokaners) my special project for this summer. I'd be interested in collecting any interesting bunkai vids or links for Empi kata. Thanks for helping me out.

I know Iain Abernethy has some videos of applications for Enpi/Wanshu, so those should be easy enough to find on his Practical Kata Bunkai channel on YouTube.

John Titchen has this one for the opening sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAhe_yfjYbk

This guy made a whole series of videos on his applications for Enpi, and there are definitely some interesting ideas and concepts explored in them--here is the playlist:

Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf Karlsson

Shorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)

Enpi means Flying Swallow.

Wankan means King's Crown.

Gangaku means Crane on a rock.

Having said that, meanings and their known names vary from style to style, therefore, founder to founder.
