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!
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.
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!
Great second part Sensei Ian, very well explained. I am really enjoying these sequences. Thank you again.
Kata, as a freeze frame of the application makes Kata and Bunkia more sense to me now. Thanks Sensei.

Great video especially on highlighting the taking away of options.
Fantastic work
I'm very much enjoying the series so far - hanging out for the next videos!
Glad to hear it!
Love this dude. Love training with him. If I could, I'd train all the time with him.
Fantastic 😮
Haven’t looked at karate since I was a kid doing Ishin Ryu. But these breakdowns are awesome.
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.
Thank you - awesome material
Lovely stuff, once again.
Ian is like the karate teacher I wished I had 35 years ago.
Thank you sir 🙏

thanks Iain !!!
Perfect!
Many thanks, excellent methodology. Was Master motobu retreating at all?Paul.69
Defensively, not once in any of his 12 drills (as the series will show). He encourages gaining active control and causing damage before escaping.
Excelente!
Awesome!
