Nifeedeebiru Ryan-san , Again you show a great Tichiki for Naihanchi Nidan ,it's funny I was shown a very close match to this from a Sensei in the group I'm with , I must say I think you are one of the best for closing the gap between Kata and Tichiki . Kind Regards
Darko, the possibility of the left hand striking is explicitly addressed in the video. If the elbow-wrench fails to drop him and his left hand strikes the defender's own left is raised to parry that strike while the right hand retains its grip while following the hand back. After the left punch is parried the slap-lock is applied. This is built right into the technique and the text of the video explains that. It isn't demonstrated in the video because I wished to cover some basic concepts in a simple format, but the viewer is made aware of the possibility and is told how to deal with it using the technique with very little alteration needed (the raising of the hand for the slap-lock is the parry for the left punch). Your other comments relate mainly to the long sequence practiced as a flow drill. Flow-drills are not meant to be self-defense techniques... Typically they string together several techniques in a sequence that is unrealistically long. This is done for a reason: it allows a person to practice multiple transitions from various circumstances based on the direction and type of force one encounters. This is useful training, and it only seems problematic if somebody is unaware of the difference between drills meant to develop attributes, and techniques which are meant to be applied in self defense "as is". The individual "chunks" of the flow drill shown are techniques, the longer sequence is a drill. BTW the slap lock definitely works. In fact, it is the nastiest part of the methods shown (other than the elbows to the temple and/or trachea).
Reaffirms that real martial arts really are in the mind. The technique itself is simple and easy to understand, but to find the right mindset to apply it in combat makes all the difference. Kata's brilliant!
FoieGras Focus should not change between the kata and the bunkai, as your mind should be equally present in both. To not be focussed in the kata, shows a lack of understanding of the bunkai. Any technique can look simple at first glance, but can take a life time to master.
Absolutely brilliant, please continue with this format ^.^ The beginning of Naihanchi-Nidan is a little puzzling to me I remember that Taika explained it on one of the seminars that you once uploaded, but not sure if I'm doing it right.
At 3:40 My teacher wrapped my knuckles like that, when i had my wrist bent..WACK!! "straighten the wrist"Learnt my lesson :) this was 1981 the good ol days
Superbly done video on this kata! Keep up the good work! I learned this kata long ago but never learned the applications. I wish that I had access to this knowledge before I moved onto Modern Arnis!
at 4:40 the elbow technique has a wrist lock as well, if youe right wrist is grabbed with their left hand. You grab the wrist or fingers then bring the elbow over their forearm putting pressure on the wrist. stepping into a kiba dachi \Nekodashi at the same time
One suggestion, onegashimasu. the uchidachi should enter to close the gap with their center using balance and gravity for power...also train the counter reversals, they are in the kata also.
Uchidachi isn't a term I've heard used in Okinawan martial arts, but I assume you mean the defender. Since these bunkai place one in a range where one can strike with the elbow, I think the gap is pretty much closed. So, I assume it is the later qualifiers that you are emphasizing. Using gravity to power techniques and moving from the tanden is certainly useful advice and I have no doubt I could do *much* better. Hopefully this will improve as work to regain former levels. There is no way to actually know precisely what method of doing this you are referring to, but I suspect you might mean an Aiki-like projection...? I do teach a few reversals to counters. But on video I have focused on single waza bunaki and a few simple combinations. I would be *very* interested in your Naihanchi Nidan counter-reversals, and think that others here would be as well. So, if there is any chance you would be willing to, may I please be so presumptuous as to request that you share some of them? Thanks for pointing out areas that should be improved and I hope to learn more about your counter-reversal methods.
BTW I hope I haven't made too many assumptions about what you mean... If so, I apologize. I am very interested in learning more about what you are discussing, and probably shouldn't try "guessing". Also, I should have said uchidachi isn't a term I've heard used... Obviously I don't presume to speak for Okinawan martial arts generally. Looking forward to learning more. I am certain you have much to offer that I would benefit from.

Master in the naihanchi shodan video says this is renzoku, only is a drill, is not bunkai, but in this video is bunkai but there is renzoku, could you help me for understand it?
Bunkai means to analyze by breaking into small component pieces. Renzoku is flowing in a longer sequence of things. A sequence one or two moves long can often be applied exactly "as is" in self-defense. Longer choreographed sequences are less likely to to ever be applied exactly "as is" due to the chaos of real situations. That said, practicing long sequences has value as it teaches you to how to flow from one thing to another, how to engage in proactive control, and how to "go with the flow etc... I class applications of one or two kata movements as "bunkai" and longer sequences as "renzoku". Non-karate martial arts often make a similar distinction between what they classify as "techniques" vs "flow-drills". Flow-drills are composed of techniques, but are largely intended to be learning tools. The first 5 minutes of this video shows bunkai. The last minute shows renzoku. Hope that helps
Guys. It’s called naihanchi nidan for a reason. You fight in naihanchi dachi, not kensutsu dachi. It’s not kensutsu nidan. This bunkai is not valid. Great techniques but not great bunkai
I can look at your Naihanchi lessons forever and I alway get something valuable. Superb stuff. Thank you.
I wish someone would have taught me this years ago when I first started learning kata.
One of the best application of the kata I've ever seen. Great rhythm, even better explanations.
Love the tutorial.. Naihanchi can be an enigma sometimes.. simple.. straight forward.. Thanks!

really really helpful! i practice on my own and this sequence was pretty difficult for me to figure out - thank you for what you do!

Simplicity and center weight dead hand striking
Your oberservations and claifications i am sure has helped many
Some terms are not explicitly Okinawan but convey the meaning
