‘Bunkai-Jutsu’ is the analysis of the Karate Katas and their application in real combat. The fighting applications of the katas is one of the most fascinating, and sadly misunderstood, aspects of Karate practise. These DVDs are a must for anyone who wishes to practise Karate as a complete and practical fighting art.

Volume 3 covers the applications of Kushanku / Kanku-Dai. The kata is a record of the highly effective striking and grappling methods taught by the Chinese martial artist Kushanku. It is said that the kata was constructed by the legendary Tode Sakagawa, who became a student of Kushanku’s when he came to Okinawa in 1756. This kata is also known as Kosokun (alternative pronunciation) and Kanku-Dai (Japanese name for the form). This DVD provides instruction on the no-nonsense fighting techniques hidden within the kata.

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

Running time: Approx. 1 Hour 30 Mins.

REVIEW: "Abernethy continues to bring the lesser known and varied applications of the traditional kata to a wider audience, fusing the traditional and modern to create a series with genuine relevance to contemporary self-defence issues. Bunkai-Jutsu Volume 3 looks at the practical applications of Kushanku / Kanku-Dai Kata, breaking it down into each individual move and then dissecting its practical application with authority and ingenuity; providing a wealth of techniques and variations."

REVIEW: "Iain Abernethy reminds us that the Traditional Karateka can experience and explore the various fighting ranges within their own art, if they know where to look. There is a wealth of detail here, confidentially explained and demonstrated by Iain Abernethy. Those already aware of Iain's work will know what to expect from this unfussy and effective series, and those looking to expand the depth of their knowledge or rejuvenate their training should seriously consider a look."
