My relationship to these techniques are rather complicated. Back in the early 90's when I started training Goju Ryu my sensei got hooked on full contact fighting an we mostly just went "Cobra Kai" on each others. We did do a lot of sanchin kata and strength exercises but never any bunkai. I left after 3 years and didn't look back until a year ago when I momentarily started training in another dojo under some of my sensei's old students. All of a sudden I was introduced to tensho kata and more importantly bunkai. I've spent the last 30 odd years feeling karate was just pummeling one another until you bled! It's been quite a journey.

That is quite the journey, wow! That's so interesting that your dojo has changed so much as well - we know that if we went full contact all the time, we would have ten students, tops! But there is a place to fight, and there must definitely be a place for bunkai! Thank you for this fascinating comment, and my apologies for the delayed response 😅

I used to practice this uke behind the steering weel stuck in the traffic jams on the way to my Goju-ryu training... 😁I knew it from Kyokushinkai times but that helped me to make it properly compact.

I believe our friends in the other Okinawan Ryu do make this move very big and dramatic 👀 but a steering wheel is the right size

And here I thought I was the only one. 😅

Daily Sanchin is the true secret to Goju Ryu ;-)

Do you have a Tensho flow drill with a partner?

We don't, but that is a truly amazing idea! We were scratching around for filming ideas, so this will make a nice addition. Watch this space :D Thank you so much!
