Thank you for the video. I have a question. I don't understand Russian, so I may not understand completely. Is it permitted to break the kiba dachi when you throw an empi strike?

I’ve found the movements of Tekki/Naihanchi Shodan make much more sense if you add the opening “salute” back in to the very beginning and then do all the rest of the movements from being clinched up with your opponent at extremely close range. I learned this kata about 20 years ago when I started Shotokan and also learned these “applications” then too but was very dissatisfied with them until I began doing more research on kata applications from the original masters who developed the style prior to its importation to Japan where it was converted to primarily a sport rather than self defense system. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy and appreciate the sporting aspects of karate. But for interpretation of kata, you’re far better off applying them at much much closer range than this longer competition sparring range. Also, apply these movements as if the opponent is directly in front of you NOT on either side. Any time the kata steps or turns to one side, do NOT imagine you’re turning to fight a new opponent. Instead, imagine that you are side stepping or shifting offline from that opponent in front of you and YOU are then attacking HIM from his side where he can’t attack you as easily from. As one example, the opening salute that was removed from Shotokan’s version of the kata represents two primary applications: 1) Hands on top of head with upper arms, elbows, and forearms tight to your head should protect you from opponent directly in front throwing haymaker type punches which is a much more realistic attack than proper “karate” straight punches. This arm position also lets you “crash” into the attacker with your elbows to their face, neck, upper body, or whatever target is open. 2) Immediately after crashing you bring your hands up and over to the back of their head, tightening up your forearms on either side of their neck into a clinch. All following movements can be done very effectively from this clinch. Next move in the kata is the step across, in application this is a foot sweep done to the opponent directly in front of you from the clinch in an attempt to disrupt their posture. Next application is out of order from the kata but hands coming down low is pulling their head down as much as possible because the next move in kata after the step across is that big high step. In application that’s a knee strike to the opponent’s face, if you can pull their head down far enough or if not, then knee to their upper body. In kata, only done once but in application you can do multiple knees. Next in kata is hand out followed by elbow strike. Well in application your hands should already be oh back off opponent’s head in clinched position, let go with one hand, keep hold with the other, shift offline slightly and then elbow strike like in the kata but in application your opponent’s head is between your right hand and left elbow. Again in kata, there’s only one elbow but in application you can repeat as necessary. Of course when training with a partner you need to use gloves, pads, and a LOT of control. Don’t actually hit him with knees and elbows. Try that opening sometime and then think of all the rest of the movements from that clinched position. You’ll find it very eye opening. I know I was very surprised

I find it works better in close range too. I don't understand why most bunkai videos use a lunge punch as the attack.

@@matthewbaumann630 I believe it stems from when the Japanese adopted Karate, and focused on the striking applications while transforming it into a long range style because they wanted a competitive combat sport for young Japanese men to do instead of Western Boxing, which was very popular during that time period. Japan already had Judo/Jujitsu/Aikido so they didn’t need Karate’s close range, grappling, and throwing. Unfortunately the close range stuff was neglected and much of it forgotten. So much so that generations of Karate practitioners ONLY exposure to Karate is as a long range system so when they try to apply the movements in Kata, that’s what happens. On a side note, I don’t believe the “lunge punch” actually exists in Kata. It’s a takedown. Otherwise what’s the point of doing a “C-step?”

@@alexanderren1097Is the C step meant to be a sweep and punch? I'm not an expert on bunkai. I'm wondering why they don't show appreciations for defending moves you'll actually see in a tournament like a jab or reverse. I think kata was intended for close range self defense though.

@@alexanderren1097right, it could be a takedown too. Is there a name for that takedown? What about kata like Jitte and Jion that do three identical moves in a row in kinadachi stance?

@alexanderren1097 5 ай бұрын

@@matthewbaumann630 Yes, kata was absolutely intended for close range self defense. As for defending against sparring combos like jab followed by reverse punch, there’s almost nothing in Kata that can counter that because it was never intended to be used at long range in a sporting environment. I say “almost nothing” because occasionally there might be a move that can be shoehorned into long range, but those are few and far between. As for c-steps, any move in kata that includes it is meant to be interpreted primarily as a takedown. So whatever your hands are doing in the kata move, it’s usually best to assume they’re not “punching,” “blocking,” or whatever other interpretation most modern Karate practitioners have come up with. Assume BOTH your hands are gripping the opponent in some way and the hands are throwing the opponent’s upper body in a direction that takes advantage of the disruption your leg and hip is doing to the opponent’s own legs during the c-step.
