I love to see the oyo bunkai in dojo..
As usual, same thing. A deep, telegraphed, single lunge punch easily countered by some typical responses.
In the western world, coming from very strong western boxing mainstream culture, we naturally percieve everything relating to self defense through a boxing lense.
We typically judge every unarmed self defense school by how well their methods will deal with a western boxer or collegiate folk wrestler. . .That's typically our standard because it's what we face being that north America has a mainstream culture of boxing bareknuckle fist fighting and folk wrestling takedowns.
But in latin american countries, african countries, asian countries and middle eastern countries the mainstream culture of fighting is with knives or machetes. Blade cultures. Some parts of the U.S.A. are blade culture communities more than fist fighting communities, while in many black american communities they have a strong pistol culture. Nevertheless boxing & folk wrestling generally permeate mainstream American culture to some degree.
So it's my strong belief that traditional Kara Te schools in Japan and Okinawa that work their defenses off of a single lunging punch or rear bear hug attack is because their school evolved from an art created for defending against armed attackers. . . Not for mutual unarmed dueling, like UFC.
It's the ONLY way that a single lunge punch makes sense and why these Asian schools of unarmed defense would devote so much effort & time developing defenses to a single frontal lunge punch.
Their not using knives, for safety reasons or to hide the true purpose of the art but the lunge punch must represent a lunge thrust with a dagger or knife. A very common criminal attack in Asia.
The overhead downward fist strike defense also ubiquitous in kara te only makes sense as well if it's actually a downward knife stab, downward icepick stab.
So we think traditional kara te is an eastern method of defending against an unarmed brawler, a boxer, which their methods seem ridiculous when viewed through the eyes of a western boxing culture, but in reality all kara te defenses are meant as defenses against knife/dagger attacks, grabs and holds common in Okinawan and Japanese cultures.
Of course noone punches in real life with fist low chambered at the hip and lunging in with a lunge step. But people will stab that way.
Noone will launch a single downward hammerfist or open hand downward chop as their leading attack. But the inexperienced will stab that way.
Kara te lunge attacks delivered by feeders to kara te defenders only makes sense when you put a knife or dagger in the hand of the attacker.
Only then will traditional karate demos make perfect sense. ♣
It's a technique demonstration. Same as when showing students the technique so they can copy it.
It's the basic movements. Probably it is assumed that good students can derive more movements and defense against other attacks from it.
Also, as most eastern martial arts was taught as self defense, the tsuki a.k.a lunge punch was merely a representation of "attacks" in which you could and should respond to.
You could see that "attacking movements" never taught in pair, only defense.
This, subtly put the art not as an "art of fighting", but as an "art of fighting back".
Many boxers will break down their technique and practice combos against willing opponents as well. Most karateka are not training to enter the ring. I'm sure if confronted in the street an Okinawan karate practitioner will adapt to the situation, not just rely on defense from a lunge punch.
most of traditional martial arts like Karate, kung fu and Japanese Ju jutsu, the striking techniques is applyed just as form of desestability of your adversary ( when you receive a punch in your face... you cannot think or plan anymore ) ... then, after the Atemi (striking) we go to Nage waza ( grappling)
90 % of karate (kung fu and Japanese jujutsu ) techniques finishes with grappling...
