Jion (慈恩) kata effective bunkai 2 - Kakiwake uke

This video is from the series about Shotokan Kata in which we are going to demonstrate Jion kata Oyo bunkai. Demonstrates by Alexandr Matiushevskij (7 Dan). Kakiwake is essentially two blocks of Uchi Uke. In different Kata, the shape of the hands is slightly different, sometimes the protection is with the outer side of the forearm, sometimes with the inner side, sometimes we use an open palm. The form of defense (twisting the forearms, fist or palm) also determines the response. The technique is very practical and has many variations in different Katas.
