Some Gojushiho Bunkai

Recommended Posts

Recently, my Sensei and I recorded this video for the opening sequence of Gojushiho, as we practice it:

In response, Leigh Simms shared his take on the Shotokan version:

I also recorded a video, myself, of an application for the spearhand sequences in Gojushiho:

And Leigh had a Shotokan take on it, too:

Then, of course, Iain Abernethy has his approach:

Personally, I enjoy exploring and sharing a variety of application options for kata. While we can all follow certain guidelines, concepts, and principles, individuals can still see different ways of using the movements of kata. Also, I think these types of comparisons can really highlight both the similarities and differences between styles.

Isn't Oyo wonderful?! Bunkai IS the black hole of understanding possibilities; there's not only just one way of any Bunkai as you're sucked in with no ending of discoveries.

Imho!!

Really nice! I dig the compare and contrast you did there. Well done on your own videos as well.

the more complicated the bunkai, it is probably more far from the original bunkai.

Bunkai is becoming a demonstration/exhibition/show recently with the addition of bunkai into competition.

fun to watch though, great show.

interesting knowledge
