This post is very well done, good quality in the explanations and demonstrations. Some have criticized, but, it maybe because they've poor understanding of teaching. I'm not of that style, but, as a lifelong martial artist (over 45 years) I respect and admire those who generously make the efforts and offer instruction. I thank you for this post. Best to you and yours.

[@1girl4you1000times]

In its own way it is efficient, direct and simple. Using one hand again without withdrawing, using both arms at the same time for defense and attack actions. There is kinda Paak Da (defense and punsh), efficent low kicks and generell a relaxation in the moves. It seems there is springy energy generated. Frankly: I can see sometimes some concepts of what is used in WSL Ving Tsun Kung Fu - The differences that I see are in turn not necessarily making it (or that) less efficient. It's origin here is Karate and it should stay that way. The ritualized presentation of the karate in this video one can ignore, since in real fight that would dissapear anyways, and they know. The fight concepts are clearly to see. What I wanna add - it is not about comparing styles - but being pleased to see that certain concepts are acknowledged as universally efficient and did pop up in another style. Because of their universal efficiency the question of where they come from is fruitless; in fact I believe that every pragmatic thinking and probably a little genius person can develop them from scratch and when in combination with fighting experience and due contact with lots of other masters. At that was part of the way from this master, was it?

[@varanid9]

Yes, see Jesse Enkamp's recent video with Kevin Lee about the similarities between Wing Chun and Naihanchi. It's very eye-opening as to the actual applications of this Kata which has been so widely misinterpreted for so long.

[@xav6287]

I practice both art and combat. Arnis fighter, I am. I love the graceful movements of our basic katas or dances. But I rely on the combat part, because it would be more practical in real life scenarios. Art is for the culture, but combat is for real life use.

[@Kitsaplorax]

Something I would add-unfortunately from experience-is that practicing the kata or bunkai possibilities on an even surface in strong light is likely not the way to grasp how it can work. When I was teaching in Seattle some years ago, we would "walk" around the kata and derive possibilities from it, standing on soft, uneven ground in very low lighting. Night is even better. Another method I really like is doing the kata seated in a chair or on the floor. Look at the motions in terms of flow, crossing, uncrossing and changing. With walking around the kata seated, perception and possibilities will emerge. You also can't cheat by powering through with your hips. This is basically a 2x arm's length to body hugging form. It reveals of all the classical maxims around Te-sticking, transforming yin into yang, listening with the body, etc. My notes from my teacher said I should think of Naihanchi as bear and tiger motions. Rolling motions, short claws, etc. You can't rely on even footing outside-we've got brick streets that are slick with mud a lot of the year in the Northwest. Learning how to safely slide/stick/step on surfaces that are uneven, slick and uncertain is about 70% of self defense. I suspect that an Okinawan dojo c. 1870 was an alley, sweet potato field or something similar.

2 thoughts 1. when someone gets around to teaching A.I./ML martial arts, it will boil everything down to ultra simple movements for all situations. A.I./ML excels in finding patterns. I for one would be surprise if A.I./ML would find something new, after 5,000 years of Martial arts history, what is left to discover? 2. on the global level, the average person only has so many limbs and joints. The principles and tactics will remain the same, the only difference to occur will be both how techniques are taught and the person level of fitness and flexibility. Other than that it is all the same. notice how all the past masters have in common the same process, actual use, then tweaking, use, tweaking. Is not this the very process sports figures who excels move ahead of the competition? This style of Okinawa Karate has strong beautiful geometry.

History keeps repeating that only Kentsu Yabu, who Choki could not beat would accept him a s a student, he was considered to ill mannered to be trained, or even taught, by Itosu or Azato. Maybe that’s why you don’t see the refined Shuri-te or Naha-te in Motobu Ryu. Well trained in both Mabuni Kenwa has a nice set of yakusoku gumite as well as the classical kata found in both lineages.

Let’s be honest his teachings are probably incredibly bastardized as well.

[@Seifukusensei]

He was an amazing fighter, but reluctant to learn Japanese cause he hated them and thus he wasn't very good at teaching.

[@ninthkaikan1544]

You realize this is the surface breakdown, right?

[@dariusemrani4091]

No offense, but that's always the excuse for impratical bunkai: "this is just the surface" or "this is just one of the infitite possible applications". Maybe we should accept the fact that the techniques were not very good; maybe they were useful at that time but nowadays we can learn better techniques, proven on vale tudo/ mma fights; we can train in a more practical way, without the need of a kata, that has to be divided, then interpretated etc etc Everything evolve, and I believe that many times we tend to have a romantic idea about the masters of the past, thinking that they knew something that we don't know now.
