Techniques of the Bubishi

[Wastelander]

Hello, everyone!

We are thrilled to share this video, which is a special presentation of our intrepretations of techniques found in the Bubishi--the "Bible of Karate"--as well as connections to kata movements and comparisons with a variety of other martial arts. We are also honored to have an introduction from Patrick McCarthy, Hanshi, Kudan, who wrote the English version of the Bubishi that most karateka refer to, today!

This is an awesome video. I like how first you show the real time applications of it before you show us the breakdown. The presentation is fantastic.

Very good video. So much for kata being a worthless dance with stupid poses.

Thank you, everyone! It was very cool for us to get props from McCarthy Sensei, and I'm glad that people are finding the material interesting and valuable! We wanted to make something that would showcase not only the original material from the Bubishi, but expansions on the material and examples of similar methods being used in other arts, to show how fighting is connected.

I think there is a revised version recently published, with more content. Anybody seen it yet? I'm thinking of adding it to my ever increasing library of MA books......I have the e version of the first run.

The release date isn't actually until next Tuesday, the 21st, but I do have an advance copy to review for my site. I haven't read it all, just yet, but the new forewords are interesting.
