Topic: Kata Bunkai

[Mole Bach]

For those who were training last night at the third session,

What did you think of the Kata Jutte?.

Did some of the Bunkai help you to understand/learn the Kata?

Could you think of any other Bunkai, or adapt those that you practiced?

Do we do enough of this type of training?

Should we do this type of training with lower grades?

Tell us your views, especially if this is new to you.

On issues of bunkai and browsing through the seki manual JKA videos - any ideas what the 3 hops at the end of Chinte signify??

Over the years I have been given many explanations, including silly ones about aviding a swing by a chained weapon.
The most sensible explanation for me seem to be that the JKA invented it so that they could end up on the ENBUSEN mark.

...what about perhaps having the opponent grasped by the head and substitute the "bunny hops" for  pulling the head back/down onto a series of knee strikes (as in Muay Thai) as you move backwards......
