I was wondering if you have seen Nathan Johnson's book "Zen Shaolin Karate"? He developed grappling bunkai for the Naihanchin kata. I think he overdid it, but it is quite an interesting read. I believe with your brother's help you could extract a great deal of useful ideas from it. You are in a unique situation. With your brother's help and opinion, you could go through Nathan's book and together develop a better opinion about Nathan's book than anyone has before, in my opinion. I learned the Naihanchin as Chul Gi in Tae Kwon Do (still using the earlier Chung Do Kwan Tang Soo Do forms), but mostly without reasonable explanations and several obviously guessed at explanations.

Now that I've been thinking about it, I tried Naihanchin Shodan once in a tournament and actually lost to one of my own students doing the same! He was a big strong guy, so I made a poor choice of kata.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Sensei Samir in person (hopefully, one day Sensei Jesse too!), in a seminar by Shihan Yokota in Goiania, Brazil. He took very kindly to my questions and briefly (our time was sort, sadly!) shared a lot of his knowledge with me; I am very grateful for that. And on the "practical" part of sharing his knowledge: he then asked me, smiling: "Have you ever 'suffered' the Naihanchi bunkai?" After I said 'no', he proceed to prove on an "unwilling" training partner that one can really defeat an opponent by applying the Naihanchi Shodan techniques; IN ORDER of the kata movements, mind you that. It was certainly not my first time practicing bunkai, but I had never seen it perfectly enacted upon a resisting partner. I still consider myself a 'novice' shortly after earning my Shotokan blackbelt, but what Sensei Samir has shown me made me feel like a white belt again; I guess that is what Karate Do should feel like, specially after you really begin to try to understand and learn its Way. It was both a humbling and eye opening experience, and I look forward to repeating it in the near future. Not only is Sensei Samir profoundly knowledgeable, but he is also eager to share what he's learned with one who provides an attentive ear. Truly the makings of a great Sensei. I am most happy to have made his acquaintance and now have the pleasure of considering him a friend. Oss!

I've been doing Nainchi Shodan for 25 years and I'm STILL learning new things about it, like today! Great video!

These are very kind words. Thank you! I'm sure that being open like this after training it for 25 years you are one of those who learn the most.

Jesse,Iain Abernethy and Samir are my favourite western bunkai experts.Every karateka can take very useful knowledge from them.Respect.

As a Samir's student i feel proud to see his work finally going out on public! When i started to train at Muidokan i felt a little bit lost, because our mindseting to do our things was diferent from the other martial arts i alredy praticed.

the best bunkai of tekki i found so far. thank you so much!

This video is like a Karate seminar, beautiful!

I stop practicing karate. But i still find myself watching videos about karate. The bunkai aspect of karate is the most obscure subject, i just can't accept most of the aplications one tipically finds on the internet and most dojos. This was great Jesse. Along the videos of vitor belfort's trainer that you also put online. You are filling the gaps that are missing in most karate channels. Keep going please.

Wow. I've never seen a bunkai that seems so effective and matches the kata so perfectly! Thank you sensei Jesse and sensei Samir!

Bunkai is the greatest. And this Naihanchi is one of my favourite Kata. I always imagine what I would be doing to an opponent when performing Kata. This video is GGRRRRRREEEAAAAT!!!!

Interesting exercise. I practice Shorin Ryu (Shin Shu Kan) and the Naihanchi Katas are taught as the most characteristic of our school. We do regularly perform bunkais for the 3 katas, either full circular bunkai or separate movement's applications :)

Well, to shed some light on the matter, Anko Itosu-sensei was the one who split the original Kata in 3 Kata. He is also known for creating the Pinan katas (Heian for Japanese styles) by simplifying katas such as Kusanku. He is probably, along with Funakoshi-sensei, the reason karate has come such a long way.

@@quickstep2408 A little late, but never too late 😁: I think it can be attributed to Motobu Choki. You should read Patrick&Yuriko McCarthy's translation of Motobu's little book "Watashi no Karate-jutsu" (My Art of Karate) (and to restore the balance, a translation of "Karate-do, My way of life" by Gichin Funakoshi 😁; they were not exactly friends 😏). It's a little gem.

Sir idk if you still reply to this video i want to learn limb control where should i start ?

Hey all karate nerds. I attended at the II Brazilian Seminar on Campinas/SP and, by the way, it was amazing! My question is about this application of the Tekki Shodan (Naihanchi Shodan). At the first part of the seminar we had a training to defend ourselves and save energy at the same time. How these two concepts are applied at these bunkai techniques? I understand that sometimes a fight could become tangled but it seems to me that you had to use more strength to keep your opponent next to you than finishing the fight.

Man, I wish they did that with poomsae....

Good vid - not that standard Bunkai - I have been studying Isshin Ryu Naihanchi since 1970''s . Yes this Kata is practiced in a straight line but used in an X pattern (45 degree) or even in a circle. Naihanchi can get down and dirty.

It's not true. Naihanchi is a wonderful kata ricch with fighting knowledge, but the Pinan series is no less amazing. Each kata is the amalgamation of the fighting knowledge of an instructor os school of the past, each one is equally profound.

Jesse how do we get you in the area to do a seminar?

Sensei Samir has multiple black belts from different styles. What is his primary style does he teach?

So...... They went in their karate outfits without shoes in to a park?!

Lovely stuff. But, I must say, don't wear a ring while engaging in any kind of kumite - not safe.

I like the ideas and the flowdrill! The hands fit reasonably well with the kata. However Tekki stands out from the other katas for stepping only sideways instead of stepping through. This interpretation does a lot of stepping through, and although I support taking some liberties, I can't help but think that there is significance in the kata's "odd" choice of stepping.

@samirberardo

Hint: don't forget this is just more of a teaser. Everything has an explanation. By the way, it's not shown in the video, but there are explanations and applications for all variations, too, including the Tekki variation! Good training to you! ;-)

"First of all, while the (almost) identical start and end point is certainly a classic feature of kata in Karate, the term matomari 纏まり doesn’t seem to be that old. Rather, it appears to be a loan word taken from general-language and adopted into the special language of Karate rather recently. Secondly, there are variuos possible reasons for the (almost) identical start and end point. For example, one might argue that it is the result of boundaries, such as in indoor training or when training larger groups of people. This is valid for the era of the conscription agers’ Karate of Itosu et.al. but also for the cases of public performances of martial arts, such as in case of visits by Chinese investiture envoys (Sappōshi), where stages were used, just as in case of musical or theatrical performances inside Shuri castle. Thirdly, when practice or performances took place on Uganju 御願所, there was more free space than on a stage. However, most of the time there was an audience who were positioned according to hierarchy. For example, the village elders at the Uganju, or guests of honor during performances for Sappōshi, the order of people during performances on stages set up inside Shuri castle, the gymnastics teachers at school Karate practice, etc." Andreas Quast

Lucas Cardoso you nailed it. you can use the hand/arm techniques of naihanchi with different angles. it's a versatile close range combat system.

Bunkai always feels like ”cart before the horse”.

Bunkai always feels like ”cart before thehorse”.

Yes but the opponent is supposed not to be a puppy who stands waiting your moves! I think most bunkai are done without this in mind

Bruce Lee said: "Do not fear the man who practiced 10,000 kicks once, but do fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times", right? :-) However, consider that even the boxing widely known today used to be much more complex in the past -- until part of its complexity became against the modern rules. In the end, it's best that one is effective with whatever method they use (and in most of the time simplicity is best here, yes). If you can solve your problem with what you got, then you're good. But also remember it's also better to have a larger toolbox to solve a greater number of problems and solve them more efficiently -- as long as you really know how to use your tools. You can use nails or you can use screws, but sometimes one is better than the other, right? In any case, believe me: these techniques are really quite simple! Being simple to execute is one of the most important aspects of good kata application. Respect from Muidokan Karate Kenkyukai. Good training to you!

Troppa fantasia.

Interesting ideas even though I do not find them quite practical, considering the many options that your opponent can pull up when you find yourselves in that first position

@CykelSierra

4 жыл бұрын

It is practical precisely because it limits what the opponent can do. One limb is restricted, and if the opponent doesn't use the other limb to block he will receive a strike to the face. If he doesn't block, great! The fight ends. If he does block, the kata gives you tools to maintain initiative and attacking all the time while limiting what the opponent can do.

Interesting ideas but his balance is so off it’s painful to watch.

Nice bunkai but his voice is annoying

"I am a bunkai expert" - ..... ok.... sure you are..... :(
