You are an absolute legend for sharing the knowledge and bunkai applications! Recently found your channel, absolutely golden , thank you 👐👌

Excellent video, am I the only one that thinks that Iains energy and positivity is awesome, and it's backed up by amazing understanding of kata and karate in general

Oh no, sir, you're not the only one. Sir Iain is amazing, a breath of fresh air in the karate community.

Not just the karate community, this guy is a breath of fresh air in the martial arts community. I've spent quite a few years with self defence ideas and concepts that I thought we're a bit questionable, then discovered Iain was years ahead of me, as we're many of the BCA guys.

Teachers need to be more open to learning as well, there's always another way to do anything, and if that new white belt has a suggestion, hear him out, that black belt doesn't mean you know everythin, just my view on it. I've picked up many good ideas from newbies, just by being open to listening to them, I always allow students to share there ideas and concepts with both me and the club, then we play with it a bit and see what we discover

As you mentioned, drills are powerfull and voice energy transmits the best for keeping the momentum after closing our books or dojos doors! Long life to the great and positive Senseis, u included Emmet for putting the light under the great ones

Thanks Iain; you have reignited my fascination with karate,

Sensei, you don't know how on-time this video was, because in my dojo we have been working on Kanku Dai and Kanku Sho for the past few weeks. Very relatable lesson, especially given that we use our student's knowledge of the Pinan kata to guide them through the Kanku/Kusanku series

Another fantastic vid! Love the content as usual little things like this help getting through this difficult time. Thank you for your hard work and enthusiasm 👍🏿

I swear, I learn more about martial arts from KZread, that at any school I’ve trained in.

There's so much on youtube bro. It's an awesome time to be training, but that physical training with a partner will always be needed.

@@SenseiEmmett The problem is, if you're in a school that is not open to students trying out the techniques in a different way than what the teacher shows, you may be tagged as a deviant. Having a partner that is willing to help you train what you want to train is more difficult.

If I didn't agree with you to an extent I wouldn't be here, but you'll only get good form e.g stable stances, good posture, clean efficient movement, focused shisen etc. by drilling and drilling and drilling with a good instructor. And one can only apply the bunkai if one has good form, or at least, the better the form, the more effective the application. Even being able to distinguish between the good stuff on KZread and the stuff that only works on a "compliant attacker". In short I agree KZread has lots of potential but is a bad place to start.

Excellent

thanks Iain

Yes , there is a app 🙌🙌🙌

Lol promised a break 10 mins ago. But gotta admire the versatility of the shuto uke, along with the haito(ridge hand).

Much appreciation from Barbados. Do you do online certification?
