“Bunkai-Jutsu” is the analysis of the karate katas (forms) and their application in real combat. The fighting applications of the katas is one of the most fascinating – and sadly misunderstood – aspects of karate practice. These DVDs are a must for anyone who wishes to practice karate as a complete and practical fighting art, regardless of style.

Volume 1 covers the applications of the Pinan / Heian (peaceful mind) series. The great Anko Itsou formulated these katas in the early 1900s. They are a complete system of fighting in their own right and were designed to be a collection of the most effective methods being practised in the Shuri region of Okinawa at that time. This DVD examines the strikes, locks, throws, chokes, strangles, traps, ground-fighting and combative strategies recorded within the Pinan / Heian series.

This program shows each of the Pinan / Heian katas performed slowly and at normal speed. There then follows in-depth instruction on the practical fighting applications of each kata (including ‘style variations’).

• Pinan Shodan (Heian Nidan)
• Pinan Nidan (Heian Shodan)
• Pinan / Heian Sandan
• Pinan / Heian Yodan
• Pinan / Heian Godan
Running Time: Approx. 2 Hours
