  • ►SUMMARY:Here I demonstrate some options to the opening move of Naihanchi 1. Try them out and adjust accordingly to your style and own individual needs. Ensure you pressure test with equipment (gloves, pads, mouthguard etc.) and cross train with other arts and combat sports to find other applications. Explore the beauty of cross training to gain meaning of your own art, whatever that may be.

    It's funny because when I look at Naihanchi katas online, there's so many varieties. So it seems like even just the kata has different interpretations. It makes a lot of these "stick to tradition" people have so much nuance even within their tradition. I love what you're doing with this video. I love videos trying to find function in form. Reminds me of Ando's video too.

      🙏 Jerry! I look at all of these things as tools. You take it out and play with them. Figure out creative ways to make it work for you. And there’s no one stopping you from doing that. Unfortunately places due to please tell you how to practice these things which in my opinion is very wrong

      As a Student of Shobayashi Ryu, Naihanchi Shodan isn’t so such a high step to your right BUT what I love is your explanation of how to use the kata’s opening for bunkai. I love how you express being open to use whatever your opponent gives you or whatever comes to mind. I love the the opposite elbow to the back of the head too. What a bell ringer that has to be!! Nice breakdown!

    this approach is generally in accord with the method for interpreting kata put forward by Choki Motobu and Kenwa Mabuni. On the opening kick, Motobu says, "it should be understood that stepping forward (from cross-legged to character-8-stance) includes the meaning of kicking the enemy." So this interpretation is consistent with that view. However, Motobu says that the opening hand movement is simply a block: "At the time the right hand is stretched out and strikes, it simultaneously receives (defends) the enemy's attack. And thus, because it has the meaning of seizing the enemy's hand, you should turn your palm (vertically)." This is not consistent with the interpretation presented here. However, Mabuni says that each technique in the kata should be broken out and practiced individually, as stated here, and that each such technique should be practiced against a variety of attacks so the practitioner learns to apply it in a flexible manner. Thus, the interpretation presented here is not inconsistent with what Mabuni advises. Of note, however, Motobu says that the elbow strike is representational and does not actually mean that you should follow the block with an elbow strike. Rather, he says, "Note that in actual combat, you should not strike with your left elbow, but thrust with your left fist. Precisely because this is kata, it has to look good, and so that it conceals (the real combat applications). This is important to note."

    Excellent insights. True that behind the seemingly impractical and useless movements, katas hide in them many real fighting techniques. Shows your cross discipline experience. Great video.

  • @ShinSuperSaiyajin
    @ShinSuperSaiyajin Před 3 lety +3

    the interpretation of the crossover step made sense here. White Crane Kung Fu practitioners interpret the crossover step too as a leg trip or transition step, not a literal sideways stepping.
    Awesome video!

    Excellent video! I agree with your analytic method for kata. I am a Goju Ryu practitioner and instructor. My teacher also does not follow the exact sequence of kata movements and analyzes each movement individually. I incorporate the same methodology into my own training.

    Late to the party, as always. I enjoy you teasing out multiple applications for the techniques and using them out of sequence. People putting these together didn't intend to have a single application, and write sequence. They assumed we would be smart enough, and skilled enough to know to move to what works and follow the natural flow of the encounter.

      @KarateUnity  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you for your comment! I look at all of these things as a toolbox. Take out the tool and try it out for various jobs. Some tools work great and some tools don’t you just have to try and maybe even modify the tool to fit the job if you can.

    I would suggest learning the Kata with knowledge of the possible meaning of each move, before venturing out to free style the moves. Naihanchi has built in response to Pushing, grabbing and Punching attaches.

      @@KarateUnity Sorry sensei, only just seen your reply.
      I give myself a project in my training each year. A couple of years ago it was to make my left sided techniques as strong as my right side. After a year of working the left side, I was balanced up.
      This year is to scratch the surface of understanding Naihanchi. It has always fascinated me, and this year I am practicing it every day and looking for new and varied bunkai such as in your video.
      There are many reasons I got a lot from the video: The use of angles, the variety of hand techniques, the unbalancing techniques, the short range kicking techniques.
      They will all go into this years training!
      Domo arigato!

    Great analogy used encouraging others to “Take it for a test drive”. (To be creative) Loving your content. Question: l’ve heard that Naihanchi came from a much longer form, possibly broken down into 3 separate forms, and that it’s predesessor (a Chinese form) was named Dai Po Chin. Have you ever heard of this form? Thanks.

    • @KarateUnity

      This is a great question. I’m not very tall myself, when I trained for tournament fighting, and during my Peak sparring days, I would train my penetrating Footwork to get in do some work and escape. So the key is footwork and working your defence head movement and crashing in skills
