like all kata there are usually more then one and sometimes many explanations for every move. This movie showed some ways i would never think of first because they are simply not the obvious ones or that good for that matter, however i do like seeing personal interpretations of katas and how bunkai should be performed in the eyes of others. so thank you for uploading this.
I really like some of these bunkais. But I don't know how the practitioner will be able to start the blocking motion before the attack even starts. Maybe black belts can read minds.
@Carl2 Both bassi dia and bassai sho have been interpreted and changed to fit the will of their interpreters over the years. Do a little bit of research and you'll start seeing the different versions. I think there's 5 main stream
Nice-looking techniques, but pretty terrible applications. Those bo-staff blocks and disarms? :D lol ... And it's funny how many of his attackers immediately back away after he's done nothing more than block a single attack ... Personally, I'm a kyokushin stylist, so this kata isn't in our syllabus, but I'm now learning it specially for an upcoming bunkai seminar with Iain Abernethy, and I can't wait to hear what he's got to say about it. Personally, I think that opening move is a breakout from a bearhug grab from behind (I know that works, 'cause I've practised a similar technique a lot in my old kyokushin dojo). You could then keep hold of one of your attacker's arms with the high block as you turn into kokutsu dachi, strike gedan shotei uchi, then grab where it's most painful - lifting with the left arm and pulling with the right - and throw him over your left leg as you do the three-quarter turn ... Curious to see if that combo works, 'cause sadly I have no practice partners where I live ...
Very nice although I have issues with the fact that you are blocking techniques and then leaving the attacker there and turning your back on him. what are your thoughts?
A fine example of how not to either practice Bassai-Sho or take any notice of the VERY poor bunkai. How on earth does Kenneth Funakoshi ever believe that this is Shotokan karate. It puerile and pointless.
Very rudimentary bunkai, he give little to no acknowledgement to the turns. The opening move has a very specific hand positioning, it's not just a twin knife hand guarding block (for lack of a better term) as he does it. And there is also no way that it's simply a flinch repose like that. Additionally, interpreting mirroring mountain blocks as simply single move blocks is half baked.
Kevin Burgess Kenneth Funakoshi is NOT the grandson of Gichin Funakoshi. He was born in Honolulu on September 4, 1938. His father, Yoshio was Gichin Funakoshi's (1869 - 1957) third cousin and practiced Karate with him in Okinawa from 1915 until 1925.

This is really good and helps people to understand Bassai Sho better. Thanks for posting!
Do a search on you tube for any of the following:
Dave Hazard
Iain Abernethy
Higaonna sensei
Harry Cook
Elwin Hall ...
Thanks for your comments i18jun, very interesting. IF you have any more information about the Funakoshi family in Hawaii please let me know :o)

@Carl2 No that's about as far as my knowledge goes back on the subject. I'm sure there's some semblance of lineage if you know where to look though.
i can't believe that i actually agree with you this time ;)
Yeah, right😂😂😂😂
kool
is this the basic application/bunkai? not a more advanced version?
@zkwski mirroring mountain blocks ?
@R0CKY44 Yes thank you for the clarification

@emireno let's see your "techics" application.
I was taught the second kiai of the kata was on the oi zuki is this not correct?
You are right.
Very nice although I have issues with the fact that you are blocking techniques and then leaving the attacker there and turning your back on him. what are your thoughts?
Let's see zkwski demonstrate expertise bunkai.

@zkwski Oh you mean Manji uke

Worst defence against a bo I can imagine short of taking it in the face :/ The rest was great but the catching of bo made me cringe.
What are you high?that's his gichin funakoshi's grandson

Worst bunkai I think I’ve seen.
Terrible demonstration
Only because you are not coachable
Primitive interpretation and rather floppy execution of the kata.
Yuk! I can't stand this type of nonsense I don't have much respect for Kenneth Funakoshi's karate.
Порожняк конкретный! 👎
very useless bunkai. no use in real life. i don't know why. may be they don't want to show the real techniques or so.
