What styles are known for their bunkai?

[Spartacus Maximus]

In many dojos in Okinawa, kata applications are taught and practised as two person drills. The kata is broken down into different sections and each of these has a specific technique pattern. These are meant to illustrate a key concept in its most basic form. Later on as students get better, they are introduced to variations in the applications. For instance, if the first attack in a given section is a mae geri, it is switched to a different kick. Initially, though everyone begins by first learning the set applications and identifying the key principles.
