@7459ful It's true, the bunkai is difficult to see (especially at this speed). It's the principles and concepts that make his approach unique. The majority of bunkai you see is in response to one set attack with the attacker then freezing in chamber, this has it's uses but it is wise to move on quickly. Taira's approach considers the response and then deals with it that's why you see a "mishmash". Check out this video to see moves broken down: Taira Bunkai 2011, New Jersey, USA
I am a passionate goju man but if i am honest Sensei Taira,s Bunkai in this clip as with all of his other interpretations just look like a mish mash of arms flailing.....where anywhere does it resemble the kata...in this case Gekasai dai ichi
This is what it is supposed to look like! Taira shinshi is a living treasure imho.
Taira Sensei always shows why, in Karate, the Kata is the focus. Great respect!
The real distance of karate techniques.
OSU, It's shows that Karate can not deny its Chinese heredity through Okinawan Karate from Chinese Gung Fu

Any age. Martial arts is for life. At my dojo I have 4 women above 40 that have just started now.
Just beautiful! I just think this is great work!
