One Minute Bunkai: Wansu Sho #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- One Minute Bunkai: This is the signature movement from the Tomari Wansu Kata of the Kyan Lineage passed on to him by Pechin Maeda. There is another longer version of this Kata that can be called "Dai". Most styles just use the short "Wansu" name. This is another terrific series of techniques representing close quarter fighting (in reality isn't all real fighting close quarter?). It is full of Tuite (seize and control) techniques that have the potential to break multiple joints and tear much tissue in one bold move. This is old school Karate at its best (I'm referring about the Kata not the performers). The most common bunkai is the standard Judo "Kata Guruma" (fireman's carry) throw which is often misunderstood by those without proper training in Judo/Jujitsu.

This is the way kata should be taught. I'm loving the applications.
Thank you, I'm glad I can help. Leon where are you from? What style?
I currently live in Oregon. I'm with the Nindo Ryu Bujutsu Kai. I studied Shorin Ryu (Matsumura Seiito) many moons ago in Puerto Rico.
Love the simplicity of the bunkai, which means this will work in a real fight. Nothing flashy or elaborate is usually valid during combat.
I like the realism of this bunkai, and the fact that it's not overcomplicated, low-percentage moves that only work in very specific settings and utterly fail if anything is slightly off.
I'm a recent subscriber but I love these videos. They are short, practical and well executed (and edited). I enjoy seeing traditional techniques front and center in the modern world. Combat is combat. The human body hasn't really changed. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
I really adore the spirit of shotokan and all aspects about the techniques involved
This is an excellent explanation of the kata! Thank you!
Those old school karate masters were great in their wisdom and knowledge. Thanks for passing it forward. Osu.
Dear gojumaster,
Altho I primarily practice and teach Shorin ryu, my first love in karate was gojuryu, I attribute much of my heavy-handed-ness to it. I still practice several Goju Kata and they are all equally favorite to me and I can never pick just one! There is one dojo here in Hawaii that is really old school Goju from the Seiko Higa lineage, they keep my Goju in check! The Sensei is not only a good friend, he is one of the most awesome Gojuka I have ever seen.
Fantastic, possibly the best bunkai video I have seen as it explains all the details such as elbow to the wrist area etc. This is the sort of thing my sensei teaches, close quarter applications from kata.
wow i like your interpretations of the katas. It reignites my passion for karate. Thanks!!!
For those of you not in the know. Sensei Lemus, the sensei in the videos and the creator of 1MB has passed away. These videos stand as a monument to his knowledge and his contributions to the martial arts world.
That's a great arm lock. I appreciate the detail on applying it at the wrist vs. elbow. Thanks!
(1) Yes, it's about what happens in between. Movements are the "flow" between two poles: The start and the end position. So karate moves shouldn't be about the end positions no matter how much brute force is being wasted in getting there. That's why I like your videos so much! But in this case I was more referring to that specific application. I didn't come up with that one. I used the movements in a similar fashion only on limbs which works but you always need a follow up to drop the opponent.
This is probably my favorite of your videos. So much awesomeness.
I was a bit skeptic when I saw a video a friend shared on fb earlier of your student performing the bunkai since she was a bit stiff and lacked the flow, but after seeing your skill and analytical level, I AM IMPRESSED!
Will share this.

I will try it out, I love any suggestions like this one!
(2) Though I do also use gedan-barai to twist the opponent like this in another context, I didn't come up with the idea to combine both and use the second hand on the neck. But it works like a breeze! Even too easy because you've got to be very, very careful with your partner (This should be actually a no-brainer!)... So, thanks a lot for your effort and keep up the good work!
I like this one and have to try it this evening - that's for sure. Good variation of other applications I already knew (actually from other kata) but definitely still following the same principles. Very interesting! You're really doing a good job!
About the best Bunkai I have seen anywhere!!!!
Excellent! Keep up the good work! I love this sequence. The explanations are superb.
Just discovered this channel and it is fantastic!!!!!!
Angel Lemus Sensei. You have heavy hands. I really enjoy your videos.
Excellent. A bunkai I will study and introduce in my classes. Thanks!
Absolutely amazing channel and very good (and true) application of original kata.
That young lady has got more heart and control than many who have years on her, nevertheless she is young and has a bright future with so much to learn and grow. I agree I about the PP Freaks, I remember a notable older Okianawan Sensei who is a demolition machine would say - "whole body pressha point, hit hard anywhere, do the job". It's one thing to humbly study a body of knowledge and be good at it- it's another to wrap it around you like a superman cape and try to fly.
I agree. I train only in budo karate. You have a very aiki concept going which I like.
I was referring to the shuto uke application done by the girl, What I like to see when someone does bunkai is kime with control. Many times you see these pressure point freaks who dont know anything about technique and just tap things and have some sort of cult following.
Todays generation is what we make of it :)

Elegant and deadly! Thanks
Dear eisbombenhagel, (one hell of a name!),
You nailed what I always try to do, to come up with what lies under the obvious for I think that Karate applications are what happens in between the moves.
It was great thanks, ive just started karate and its a really useful tool to help out with learning my grading techniques
Great video! The nukite to the throat is effective, but you can get a stronger gag reflex if you press in to the windpipe from the side. Do this by placing your fingers against the muscle about an inch above the corner of the clavicle and press toward the throat, as if to push the trachea about an inch toward the opposite side. As a bonus, you don't have to worry as much about injuring the trachea itself. Try it out; the results are fun!
Nicely done! I don't know the kata, but I do recognize the application. It was one of the first I learnt for the bassai'dai kata. Very good video.
Kara te is not fighting art but self-defense art, as seen in the Bunkai here. Many kids today think all martial arts are 'fighting' arts. They disrespect traditional martial arts' effectiveness by claiming MMA as seen in UFC is the only 'real' martial arts that work in combat. But most of the arts they bash are not 'fighting' arts but unarmed 'self-defense' arts. Trained reactions to unwarranted attack by an aggressor in society. Not meant for competitive sport combat against wary opponent.
It is not hard, it is really a matter of timing. Also lets not assume that all attacks will always be punches and kicks, this is a bad habit we karateka get stuck on. Kata Guruma is specific for certain scenarios and it should not be forced, but when it fits it is a thing of beauty. Picture this-you block and grab his right arm, punch him simultaneously and enter Kata Guruma, nothing hard about this. As along as common sense rules it is all good. PS- love you handle.
Enjoy, there is lots more to come so stay tuned. How did you find it?
Beautiful.
New subsrciber...Love the One-Minute series!!
Osu.
I'm loving this stuff.
I am a big fan of your mini-bunkai snap-shots. A real help in providing insight into kata applications, as a shotokan practitioner I need all the help I can get! :-)
The shotokan equivalent for Wanshu is Empi kata, and the application you show in this video appear to be a better fit for the final sequence of doubling pressing blocks with a turning jump at the end of Empi...rather than the signature sequence you demonstrated at the start of the clip...?
Karate (like all these arts) are about being smart, efficient, understanding technique, and not wasting your energy with brute force. Thus you don't fight the human body you go in the way it naturally wants to go to your advantage.
Dear glhmedic, We have to find the way to as you say "re ignite the passion" for we cannot go complacent and become couch potatoes. Please keep going and teach your next generation to be better than you.
RIP Sensei.
Always excellent material - OSU!
Well said, you have my vote!
interesting. I'll have to try this.
Thank you. Which one are you referring to? Just curious. Remember that what is important is not the presenter/presentation but the principle. Presentation will vary just like the idea that there is no such thing as an advanced technique, just a basic technique performed really well. What I try to get across is: principle, flow, adaptation, non linearity, and most important "GRIT". Todays generation is too soft and distant, we need to teach them the physicality of Karate. Domo.
Kyan is worth a close study. He was a small man so by necessity his technique HAD to work very quickly the First time.
Very good!
Very Nice sir.
The same move appears in EMPI, look at - watch?v=SW5907Eeo7c timestamp: 3:30, it is the same move. This is not the "double pressing blocks". Also this is a signature move but it is not the start of the kata (is that what you meant?) The start of the Kata is the latest bunkai I just posted (Wansu Sho #2 - watch?v=3ro-L_wkWVA)
Glad you like it, give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
DOmo
Excellent
I would like to be able to thumb your videos up thousand times !
Joos, One thumb is enough for me. Thank you!
Awesome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I understood you perfectly, what is your first language?
Another Masterful bunkai osu senpai
This can be also use as Chinte's starting move's Bunkai
Go right ahead. IS this something you want to post here or contact me privately? If private you can email me at apps(at)oneminutebunkai(dot)com
Russ it is!
luv it, luv it, luv it!
I just now got the Tony the Tiger joke!!!
Love it
I love wanshu very mach. But i didn’t see this application. I understood just soto uke. But not throw.
Domo arigato!!!!
Super.
Thanks for reply.. Absolutely that's the section of EMPI I meant.
The early similar incarnation of the sequence appears in EMPI at the point of the kata just after the opening applications you demonstrate in your Wansu Sho #2 video. see the EMPI video at watch?v=SW5907Eeo7c?t=24s. Cheers Tom
Good job.
wow, this is true bunkai!!
Cool!!!
Nice
Dear eisbombenhagel,
When you bring distances back to reality, there are many dangers lurking in the corners-accidents waiting to happen. When you spar like sports from extreme long range you will of course not be exposed to these dangers. Accidental head butting, tripping over your own feet, catching your fingers in a gi, all kinds of stuff you need to be aware of that are potentially very dangerous. I have seen people get broken noses, teeth knocked out, fingers broken, all from accidents.

Josef, these bunkai don't belong to me, you do not need my permission to use these, they are for you and anyone. I hope they help you develop and better understanding of the fighting meaning of karate kata. Let me know how you are doing.
Me gustó mucho el video! Me apasiona el trabajo de bunkai y más aún que sean aplicables realmente, en mi canal también tengo algunos trabajos sobre Pinan y Heian, un saludo!!
Josef pardon me, my error that message was for someone else. Hope things are working out great for you.
Josef, speak your mind.
Hi, don't quite know what you mean? I don't believe I have said anything negative, not with your Bunkai.
continued- Now I will sound like my Sensei when I say today's generation is deluded by thinking that by googling 12 different systems, looking at videos, training here and there for a few months at a time, going to a few seminars, sparring in the garage to compare skills constitutes for claiming they have "EXPERIENCE" in so-and-so. There are no "clean" words I can use in this forum that would clearly say how I feel about this absurdity but let me try this these... %^&$ *&%$• I feel better now!
That explains some things ;-)
Please, just call me Russ.
Hi, I would like to have your permission to use your Bunkai? I would appreciate it. Thanks. Josef-Peter
Ok, Thanks I'm doing fine hope the same for you.
My self-defense tip of the day:
Never, EVER, grab a guy who is wearing a "black belt" which has that much -white- on it
;-)
I would like permission to speak something in english. May I?
Yes it means he is an old senile fart, and may have a fit if you touch his old raggedy belt.
:)
Just a quick note to say that I have introduced your bunkai in my classes and have given you credit for what I'm doing: surreykarateacademy co uk/training/
Excellent moves
Terrible music
Kata needs to show turns and space ( ma)
Bring hands closer to body to trap
