  • Learn practical Karate training from Jesse "The Karate Nerd" Enkamp in this solo #bunkai tutorial. Practice kata applications without an opponent, by creating a DIY #self-defense dummy. You can apply most traditional Japanese #kata techniques this way - including hikite, limb control, blocks and distance management. Remember the Okinawan principle of muchimi (sticky hands) when you practice these Karate moves. Visit www.karatebyjesse.com to learn more.

    Both my kids train Shotokan, but i always tended to pivot towards more "practical" arts (boxing, thai boxing). I've been searching for good channels on YT for my children to learn and i got hooked up by Your charisma and knowledge. Now, whenever i watch my kids doing kata i instantly imagine bunkai applications for them. I'm starting my adventure with karate in september... Thanks Jesse.

      @@EneSacarification The purpose of doing the standard kata is to learn the proper sequence of moves. After you have that, you can practice adjusting the move to deal with different scenarios. But that can only be done after you have committed the moves to muscle memory so you don't screw up the order of the moves. So you need to first practice the standard kata until you do the proper sequence automatically.

    • @nbip2845
      @nbip2845 Před 3 lety +1

      Use 'rebar' (the iron rods you put into concrete) instead. It will give the weight missing from the cloth wrapping. Just drop them in your barbaecue and temper them in water for rigidity. Do it one time only for best possible hardening.
      Or use timber framing wood. Just 'shave' the sharp edge to shape the limbs. In doubt, always pick the thicker pieces of wood.
      Make the joints with wood. Some oversized unbreakable, some breakable with a green branch or a thin piece of dry wood placed after the joint 'stop'. Will give a feel of pushing-pulling past the joint lock and even some idea of keeping cool and flow AFTER a joint break (something very disturbing when done to a living creature). Help with keeping focus and awareness.
      If you use pipes (plastic or metal like plumbers used) you can connect from the inside with a thick rope wrapped in trex tape/denim for protection. Use big springs for joints. Not joint lock with pipes and springs.
      Last thing. Always have the body of the dummy not rigidly connected to the ground. Or the vibrations plus the 'strength' of the dummy will hurt you quickly or viciously in the long run.
      Health, Happiness and Honor.

    I had been practicing bunkai's of all katas i learned, on a tree right infront of my home, using this method!. A little freakshow for the people passing by(certainly unintended though!😅). This way of practicing techniques greatly increased my confidence in katas. Infact i developed a habit of exploring kata bunkai on my own using this method ( because of no risk of injuring my buddies! ). But since its a tree i have to compress the movements to the point where it might look like i am pushing the tree with my knuckles/elbows/forearms!. I also visualise my footwork and stance in a way like the tree is an actual person and i am tripping it by falling into a stance behind it and pulling/pushing it. Its certainly a fun way of practicing the bunkai and its easy to get carried away by it!.

    Jesse, love your stuff.
    Concerning the actual meaning of "Uke(ru)". In translating historical European manuals, specifically Fiore dei Liberi from 1409 (grappling and dagger section), we tend to also refer to parries as "block" or "grab". However, the word in the manual "Présa", actually has a slightly different meaning, in the same way as Uke does. The translation should be; "a taking, a receiving, a snatching".
    Seems we have run into the exact same issue, in a roundabout way. 😏

    I literally trained in KuKiKwon Tae Kwon Do for 6 years when I was younger where there are many similar movements to Karate and never once had anyone express the idea of a high block (like shown in the beginning of this video) as an attack with one arm pulling/or blocking an attack with the lower arm while striking the neck with the forearm. Opening sequence just blew my mind! And the tactile sensitivity he discusses is something also seen in Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) as part of an exercise called Chi Sao (sticky hands).
