“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

"Iain your bunkai DVD is so comprehensive it has saved me 10 years of self study. I have found it be the finest examination of no nonsense practical martial art theory. I will be getting the rest of the series in order to save myself another 30 years of research! You have initiated the most definitive understanding of bunkai and hopefully this will spread and bring clarity to the confused state that MA finds itself in. Extraordinary." - Alex, Cyprus
