Practical Kata Bunkai: Seipai End Sequence

www.iainabernet...
This video shows a bunkai drill for the final sequence of Seipai kata. It was filmed at an event in the Netherlands in September 2015.
In this bunkai drill, Seipai kata is firstly teaching us how to move the enemy’s limbs in order to initiate predictable motion and land strikes. Seipai then concludes with a rather brutal neck crank. Do not practise this technique unless you are under the supervision of a suitably qualified and experienced person.
The neck is twisted 180-degrees which causes the enemy to fall in such a way that their spine will hit your knee. One hand then locates the enemy’s jaw while another lands a hammer fist strike. If the neck crank fails to get the enemy to fall, the end movement - which is often overlooked - pulls the enemy backward such that the top of their head will hit the floor. Again, this is potentially very dangerous and needs to be practised with great care while under suitable supervision. All viewers are also encouraged to be aware of, and adhere to, all laws relating to self-defence in their locality. The technique is shown here for purely for information purposes so that the function of the kata can understood.
I hope you find the video interesting and thank you for your support of them!
All the best,
Iain

people dont just stand there and allow you to do these techniques. You'll get one or two strikes max before they move

+Andy Davies You are totally right, but you are misunderstanding the nature of what is being shown. This is a short clip from a full weekend of training. The clip can’t capture the entirety of what we were doing. Those there were aware that this is not a “technique” to be used as is, but a flow drill including many motions that can be applied singularly or in any other order; and they will be practised in that way too. It’s one of the failings of short clips like this: you can never include the entire matrix of training of which the few minutes shown are a part. I hope this helps clarify that is it not a “technique”, but a drill to permit the practise of discreet techniques end to end; and that this is just one of many mutually supporting ways in which the methods will be practised. Thanks for commenting and giving me the opportunity to clarify.

+practicalkatabunkai apologies for jumping the gun. I have since watched a lot of your videos and listened to some of your podcasts. I can see now that you know what you're on about and not a karate parrot. Shame there are no ECA clubs near me in Merseyside, practical, applicable Karate is just what I am looking for.
