HEIAN SANDAN Kata Tutorial! 6 Tips & 2 Bunkai!

[@judypal55]

I trained in traditional Shotokan Karate for 27 years, and find your instruction classic, valid and strong. Thanks for carrying it forward in a media-savvy way.

[@Froge4291]

I've been struggling with this kata for like 6 months because I couldnt get the elbow block right but thanks to you I feel like I have improved on it better than those 6 months

[@ducatibates]

The best HEIAN SANDAN Tutorial I`ve ever seen on KZbin! Helps me a lot!!! Thanx a lot, Sensei! Oss!

I have been relearning Karate after 25 without training so I can teach it to my son. And your videos have been fundamental in helping me on this journey. Thank you, sensei!

[@barrettokarate]

I don't know if you've ever heard of him, but if not I'd recommend Iain Abernethy. He's a wado-ryu stylist from England and his specialty is bunkai.

[@danilodibujo]

Didier Lupo is also great. By the way, I think Sensei Ian also practice Shotokan... And yes, concerning bunkai, I think he´s the best!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thanks for the information!

@@danilodibujo Thanks for the information!

[@hubertjosephposadas2643]

Ian Abernathy is great. Although I suggest taking a look at Maasaki Taira, Seiu Oyata and an Okinawan named Kuba as to compare Bunkai as the Okinawans traditionally do it.

[@wayneholmes637]

very different to the "everything is a strike or block" as taught in most shotokan places these days. Heian Sandan actually deals with very close range techniques, I have heard it described as a grappling kata.

[@donelmore2540]

I like your demonstration videos. You are very clear in your explanations and your videos are very well produced. It is fun for me to see explanations from a slightly different tradition. One day, probably in the ‘90s, I was walking from the staff office into the hallway and someone came unexpectedly from my right. Immediately my hands began to move simultaneously in Ude Uke (sweeping Jodan protecting my face) and Gedan Barai (sweeping Judan protecting my centerline) motions with open hands. I thought, “Where in the hell did THAT come from?” After I had had the same physical reaction to unexpected close Ma encounters a couple of more times, I realized that my body had slightly reinterpreted the double block from Heian Sandan. Experiment with that and I’ll think you’ll find it a handy self defense interpretation. The moves at the end of the Kata with the turn with elbow and fist attacks I have reinterpreted a couple of times as my understanding deepened. I first learned that you are being grabbed from behind at the end of the Oizuki and the following moves are a response to that. For the longest time, I couldn’t figure the moves out with the grab from behind. As I, in turn, began to teach the Kata, I tried to find the answer. Practicing by myself one day, the “light came on”. It IS a grab from behind! When you move your left leg to the right and turn, it becomes a THROW, supported by your left elbow. Try working on that with an Uke and see what you think. I think that is one of Karate’s hidden throws.

[@JCLJN]

I'm usually the uke (hope I spelt that right), it's nice to see someone else flinch like I do when a fist comes flying to the face, or grimace when an elbow or fist gets you in the mid-section. Great breakdown of the kata and bunkai.

[@looqischmidt5581]

I love Shotokan and you are helping lot's of us. Greatings from Greenland.

[@CorinneTheMountainGoatBlack]

I'm looking to regrade in November at 5th Kyu. I came from Go Kan Ryu (Over 20 years ago and I've just started training again) but now I'm taking Shotokan classes and training at home. Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you kindly :)

[@OppoA-vo3oi]

Thank you very much Sensei, this is very important to learn bunkai...

[@TheReverb1]

Konnichiwa; latest version of JKA is slightly different. Also the Bunkai (of course there are multiple ways to interpret Kata but) the latest one (taught by Oishi sensei 9Dan JKA) is different. I see that other shotokan associations keep with the older versions. I lived in your Country for some months in 2013 and almost traveled all by train and bicycle. I was earning money to try to go next year (mainly to Shonan area) however I do not want to go with all that tourist (I do not go to a place with a tourist mind or point of view) if the Olympic games will be next year... Problem may be that the prices will rise too. Anyway; could be good if I go to train a few times with you. I understand Spanish; English, Portuguese and a bit of Japanese. Arigatou gozaimasu.

Minor question, pivots on heal vs ball of toes in the Kata or otherwise. I use both but often balls of my toes more so to sustain balance and momentum during transition, on my heal I don't feel as balanced going forward esp. Could be just me, what is your reasoning may I ask? No wrong answers either really I can see, more curious if a preference?
