Everything you must know about Bunkai

Bunkai ( 分解 ) means "analysis" or "disassembly", is a term used in Japanese martial arts referring to process of analysing kata and extracting fighting techniques from the movements of a "form" (kata).  The extracted fighting techniques are called Oyo. Bunkai is essence of karate. It is application of kata for self defence. Karate was basically developed with purpose of self defence. Karate means empty hand techniques. Soo just by learning  kata and kumite you would never know how to use karate in self defence.  Each kata can have different bunkai . Every own individual can make its own bunkai. Bunkai is generally in karate leagues performed by 3 people in group, they shows how one person can defend attack through moves of kata. Now a days, Many karatekas are just focusing on learning kata and kumite  with purpose of playing in Championship.  Even people are 7th dan, but they are not practicing most important part of karat...

What to do when someone speaks badly about karate?

When someone insults our Martial Art we all felt like kicking them off as descripted in picture. Firstly when someone insults our art ignore such 'cheap' people . We have hell lot of usefull things other then answering those people. But their is a limit till which we should bear such people. If they are continuously insulting our art beyond extend after such ignorance,  we need to answer them smartly. Tackle such people smartly by words. Not by using our moves on them . By using moves on a non karateka we are lowering our standard. Smartly tackle means challenge them for any karate stance. Ask them to sit in any stance for 5 mins. Or challenge them with the skills which you are expert in . By doing soo it will shut their mouth off permanently. Ps: Don't take above pic seriously it's just for fun

KIHON IN KARATE

Kihon ( 基本 , きほん) is a Japanese term. It means "basics" or "fundamentals." It is used to refer to the basic techniques that are taught and practiced as the foundation of most Japanese martial arts. In Karate Kihon includes blocks, strikes, punches, chops, kicks, and stances. What will a person do by learning such incomplete karate where his basics are not strong? Kihon is necessary to be mastered because without perfection in basics their is no point of learning karate. Basics has to be made perfect. Perfection in basics will improve your kata and kumite. And if your basics are strong enough one attack for self defense is enough. Their is belief that kihon should be practice only for few counts. No this is wrong . Kihon should be performed until perfection is achieved. Practice but in correct way!!!
