Bunkai for Anan Dai

[skullsplitter]

I'm on a search for video of bunkai for Anan Dai. I've found a couple for Anan, but nothing on the Dai kata. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Anan Dai is a made up kata for tournaments so you can't find that much bunkai for it. if you are interested in self defense then stick to the foot work of the original rendition of Anan by Sakumoto. if you are interested in tournaments then make your own bunkai .

from my knowledge a very small lineage of Ryuei-Ryu practice this kata, or a shito-ryu usage.

As far as i am aware the WKF only permit kata that come from recognised styles (mainly Goju, Shito, Shotokan and Wado). Wayneshin may be able to assist with this, as he is a state and national coach in Australia.

This is what I thought too, but there is so little out there about it. It is on the WKF list too. Thank you both for the reply.

Thats why thought has to originate somewhere, because they [the WKF] wouldn't make one up to include in their list.

A few Kyokushin kata were recently included on WKF's approved kata list. Off the top of my head, Garyu was one. Garyu was created by Mas Oyama, who wasn't really renowned for his bunkai.

I think the WKF added kata from other large schools such as Kyokushin in an attempt to get more involvement in the various karate schools who were trying to get their rules passed for the Olympics. One of the Kyokushin organizations (Shin Kyokushin) was a big challenger to the WKF for the Olympic karate rule set. They were opposed to Matsui's endorsement and help to get WKF rules approved for the Japan Olympics.

Shin Kyokushin and IKO1 (Oyama's much debated successor, Matsui) have been bitter rivals for quite some time. But that's a Kyokushin politics thread.
