Two Karate Throws: Pinan to the Front / "Naihanchi" to the Back

[@laperrablanca1]

Very interesting application of the characteristic footwork of both kata to implement the throw. I knew the hip throw from Heian Sandan, but the idea of using the Tekki stepping for a back throw is really innovating, also the use of both depending on the opponent situation. Thank you for this new insight into the combat applications hidden in the katas!

[@TheMeditatingRaven]

Your videos never get old. A proper understanding of leverage, sensitivity, and body mechanics. A resource all karateka should take advantage of.

[@PhilT28]

Love that you have incorporated the step as a throw. Keep up the good work, Sensei Iain!

[@practicalkatabunkai]

Thanks for the support!

[@brianwilliams8033]

Great application and presentation. The little details make all the difference. Thank you Sensei!

[@nedim_guitar]

This is very helpful! It takes my understanding of karate up to another level.

[@safdarkh786]

This just changed the way i interpreted tekki katas. Thank you sensei Thanks ALOT🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗

[@falkschiffner6565]

Thx, nice sneaky "Tekki" steps !

[@H34vyTank]

Awesome. Thanks, Sensei.

I really like these.. Thank you for sharing..

[@howtobuildadojo]

I love the arm control in this 🤘🏻

[@nicholasnj3778]

you could also go for a Tani Otoshi (Valley Drop) at 3:43, otherwise some Great Stuff, I guess the 2nd variation keeps more control than a Tani Otoshi and safer option

[@practicalkatabunkai]

We drill both, but not on this day :-) Valley drop (Judo version not Funakoshi throw) puts you on the ground, so we would categorise that as a fighting method as opposed to a self-protection one. Good takedown thouhg.

[@paradox636]

Is this an application of Sepai(where the hands are together)? Very interesting. I am also trying to learn the applications of goju ryu kata. so thank you so much for this.

[@JamesMMcCann]

Always stellar stuff.

[@jsdduke]

Always nice to see the variations! You really have to “feel “ the body dynamics. Wrestling and close contact arts important to learn leverage. As you’ve stated before “karate “ was never just a striking art. Same with many other arts👍

[@BUNKAIKARATE]

Good interpretation

[@rdgnr8]

Awesome applications 😀

[@MarshOakDojoTimPruitt]

thanks

[@deanmarquis4325]

Could you explain the where in the Katas, Neihanchi especially bunkai takes place.

[@practicalkatabunkai]

The throw is the final moves of Pinan Sandan. As I say in introduction to the video, the other one has a similar step across to Naihanchi, but the throw is not direct bunkai from a that kata. That’s why it’s in quotation marks too. I hope that helps.

[@maxgiuliani1581]

, i have got a question, is there hook punches in traditional Okinawa Karate ? Very good video anyway

[@adammills9715]

Yeah, kagi zuki, it's in tonnes of old kata :)

[@FrazzleCat]

Thanks, these are always appreciated. o/

Great techniques! What kind of karate have you practice?

[@sevenof9652]

I believe it's wado ryu

Don't understand why this even has dislikes

[@practicalkatabunkai]

I'm pleased you like it! I find there are five main reasons: 1) A genuine dislike of the content 2) This not being “karate” as they do it and hence the content is both unsettling and “blasphemous” 3) They have no objection to the content, but feel karate can’t have anything of value - because thier art has "superseded it” - so it is disliked becasue it is "karate" alone. 4) A dislike for my presentation style 5) A dislike for me as an individual. The first is useful to me because it is an “interaction” which helps the video get a wider reach. It’s much more useful if they voice the reason for their dislike because that can spark discussion which helps unpack surrounding issues. It also helps readers of the comments examine the methods in more depth and come to their own conclusions. Reasons 2 and 3 are wholly “tribal” and unobjective. They help the video reach a wider audience but are valueless in and of themselves. Reason 4 is personal taste. Some people want depth, some people want short videos, some people like irreverence / humour, some people want it to be serious, etc. I can’t please everyone, nor will I try to. If people don’t like the presentation style, it helps them if they click dislike because it makes other videos of mine less likely to be suggested to them. I make videos I like for people who like what I do (the majority who "like" them). I’m not seeking to win anyone over (the minority who "dislike" them), so I won’t modify what I do to appeal to a minority. Dislikes on this basis therefore mean the videos are more likely to be suggested to the right audience going forward. No one on KZbin knows me personally, so Reason 5 is based on a false impression, or a conflation of me personally with one of the preceding reasons. There are some who automatically dislike every video I put up; often within seconds of the video going up and obviously without watching it. All part of the rich tapestry of KZbin :-) All the best, Iain
