The Methods of Choki Motobu: Part 2

[@Vincentorix]

Kata, as a freeze frame of the application makes Kata and Bunkia more sense to me now. Thanks Sensei.

[@superkickjoyboy7254]

Sensei great breakdown as always! A lot of the fighting elements can also be applied to other kata which is great to see and as always thank you for what you do sir!

[@engwannabeincan7383]

Great second part Sensei Ian, very well explained. I am really enjoying these sequences. Thank you again.

[@YoukaiSlayer12]

Great video especially on highlighting the taking away of options.

[@shambolicentity]

I'm very much enjoying the series so far - hanging out for the next videos!

[@practicalkatabunkai]

Glad to hear it!

Fantastic 😮 Haven’t looked at karate since I was a kid doing Ishin Ryu. But these breakdowns are awesome.

[@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst]

Same here, only I was in Goju Ryu and Hapkido. I do mostly Tai Chi these days, but these principles really adapt well with anything.

[@Lyonband]

Thank you - awesome material

[@dermotrooney9584]

Lovely stuff, once again.

[@C5films]

Love this dude. Love training with him. If I could, I'd train all the time with him.

[@chrishansen9379]

Ian is like the karate teacher I wished I had 35 years ago.

[@MarshOakDojoTimPruitt]

Awesome!

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

So many good ideas and revelations. Since an increasing number of attacks involve weapons , could you do a video on unarmed defense against weapons ? I would agree run away but at )9 with bad knees I am not fast.

[@practicalkatabunkai]

Thank you! There are videos on weapons in my app … but I have made the decision not to share that side of things publicly as it is prone to misunderstanding based on preexisting assumptions that people may have. I am happy to teach it in person, and share with people who are more familiar with the wider methodology, and hence how weapons fit into that, but I don’t share the physical drills outside of that. There are enough misunderstandings already and I don’t want to inadvertently add to that. There is a video I will be sharing in the future (sometime next year) on escape and how to practise it; which looks at the issue of the physical act of running and the role it plays (less than most initially think). Again, that’s already in the app. However, I thought that one is important and hence it’s one of the few app videos I will also be sharing here. Thanks for all the support!

[@bajuszpal172]

Many thanks, excellent methodology. Was Master motobu retreating at all?Paul.69

[@practicalkatabunkai]

Defensively, not once in any of his 12 drills (as the series will show). He encourages gaining active control and causing damage before escaping.
