Reviews of Bunkai-Jutsu“Iain Abernethy has done it again with another excellent book on the application of karate kata. No martial arts library is complete without Bunkai-Jutsu. Iain Abernethy has shown us the real beauty of karate with his innovative and pioneering work” - Geoff Thompson, world-renowned martial artist, self-protection expert and best-selling author. "I got a copy of your Bunkai-Jutsu book last week and I have not been able to put it down since. What you have done is incredible ... to have access to a source that shows how to interpret the kata in the way they were intended in absolutely phenomenal ... to now realise that there is no dead hand and that blocks do not exist in kata has really opened my eyes to a whole new way of training. Like most Martial Artists, I want my art to be practical and realistic, and I firmly believe that following your work is the way to attain that goal." - N. Holden, France. "Bunkai-Jutsu
is well written, well researched and well produced with some good
photographs and clear text. Abernethy's new title is refreshing
and it's very evident that he has put a lot of time and effort into
its production. I would recommend it to all martial artists" "This book is outstanding! And before you even think it, no I am not in league with Mr Abernethy! This book can be an enormous assistance and guide for anyone wishing to unlock the treasures within kata. Thank goodness for this book, which most certainly helps to fill the literary gap in the understanding of Karate as a fighting art. If you are bored with your Karate training because it seems an endless drill of combination techniques, sparring and stretching to keep the legs doing jodan yoko-geris, if you want a real challenge, then read this book, but I warn you, you're going to need to learn to do break falls!" Steve Criscole, editor of Kata-Unlimited "Bunkai Jutsu is extremely well done. Iain Abernethy is one of the few authors who truly understands and is able to communicate that martial arts are at their core about combat. Kata is not dance practice nor is it aerobic training (though that may be a legitimate side benefit of performing it). It is the fundamental basis of a fighting art. Bunkai are the kata applications practitioners can use for real-life self-defense. Abernethy provides an easy to read approach to understanding and utilizing these applications." Lawrence A. Kane, author of Martial Arts Instruction “Bunkai-Jutsu explains every aspect of the katas and their application in real combat” Doug James 7th Dan "Iain's work is both educational and though-provoking" Paul Clifton, editor of Traditional Karate and Combat magazines |
