I'm so glad! And this is one of our old, low quality videos, so your dedication to your training is amazing! Well done on your well-deserved orange belt, and we are honoured to be part of your journey :)
Love the video got to the same place as you independently, it makes sense after all. I appreciated the identification of inside and outside which you don't hear often in Goku. After watching the video, I saw a few extra openings and extensions. Looking forward to viewing your other videos.
Had to come rewatch this after today's lesson. You can really see the secret blocks in action, they are easier to remember when you see them working. It's awesome!
Ah, thank you so much! And this is such an old, kind of crappy video of ours - I hope you've found some of our newer stuff with better production value! We definitely should look for as many intepretations of a move as we can, for we never know which one will resonate with us, or show us exactly what we *don't* want. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
Ah, thank you so much! We really do try to make our videos accessible and entertaining - a hard balance to strike but we are slowly getting there! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙇♀️
Thank you for always putting in this much amazing effort in making amazing content to share and explain how you see things... It would not be possible without sensei Zoe's editing and sensei's creative and interesting ideas!
Ah, you are so kind, champ! Always grateful for your comments and views, and your bottomless support for what we do, and how you help us whenever you can! You really do make us proud :)
We you be doing an advanced bunkai of geksai dai ichi and ni? When I practise, i usually go off a hook punch, because an untrained fighter is more likely to swing than throw a straight punch. So I use the face block, the punch to the face or other vital area (at the same time) this is on the inside, so naturally it feels natural to use the pull back as an arm drag, then you can use the arm as a shield, then the lower block either as a strike or throw. Just want to see your views on advanced bunkai, because you are a good teacher
Hi Definitely it’s sound principles, and the more you work it the better it gets, Love the fact you continue to move three, My friend used change of directions to develop pulls and throws and moves to ground Thanks again for sharing Che
We have done some Seiyunchin bunkai, please watch and tell us what you think! ua-cam.com/video/S4q5pyJTOrE/v-deo.html Thank you for watching and commenting :)
Saifa since it's the Kata I'm spending most of my time right now. Thank you so much for the content! This has become one of my 3 favorite youtube channels. Me and a dojo friend have shared the channel with other classmates and our Sensei. We're also OGKK. Cheers from Texas!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and for watching this old, old video of ours! We did an updated version, but it's nice that someone took the time to watch this one :)
Hello, i'm beginner and i'm trying to learn bunkai for gekisai dai ichi. This is a wonderfull video but i noticed that on the first move, you are doing the jodan age uke on the exterior side, but when i'm watching other video (like morio higaonna one) he's doing it on the interior of the opponent. What's the reason of these differences ?
Hello! There are tons of variations for each move, because each variation is a different technique/answer. If you look at this video of ours: ua-cam.com/video/nc1aa905Z00/v-deo.html you'll see 8 variations for that opening move. We've also done some oyo bunkai on Geki 1 and 2 as well. ua-cam.com/video/jZeq_k3LY28/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/ajcrlq6NJB4/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/MR0GFs_ujy0/v-deo.html. Hope this helps! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🙇
Hello! The foot sweep is in the bunkai, but only implied in the kata with a very small lifting of the foot, rather than sweeping with the foot up to knee level. In our branch of Goju, the foot sweeps are more subtle and kept for more advanced bunkai. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I practiseTraditional Goju Ryu Karate Do for spiritual healing. That in itself is self defense - defense from self. The only person who can hurt me is myself.
So true, Tashi - true mastery is self-mastery. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! Please forgive our very late reply to your thoughtful comment.
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre yes of course ! It's better for health to Do sanchin than to have a role in trainspotting 3 😂..... imagine morio HIGAONNA under L.S.D 😂....more crazy than Francis BEGBIE !!!!😀.
We actually have 5 kongoken! The left and right side has two stacked in a row, and then the baby one (we call it the paperclip) is in the middle. Very lucky to have such equipment!
So proud of my husband and how he is trying so hard to make our YT channel grow 😍
❤️💛❤️
Thanks for all the positive comments,
This clip only possible because of my Wife's hard work editing.
And having the assistance of Brian as Uke/Tori.
Wife here - we make a great team ❤️💛❤️
Your videos are so good this one really helped me get my orange belt last week so big thank you !

Hi
Yes, we all get to a similar place as our underlying roots are essentially the same
Che

Glad that you can see the benefit in training, instruction and the UA-cam resource!! Keep it up Jason
Rightly so,can see both of you are putting a lot of effort into it
Thank you
Thanks!
Ah, thank you so much for the super thanks! And on such an old video too! We appreciate you 🙇🏻♀️
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre ♥️♥️
A great demonstration sensei. although I might not agree with some of the bunkai that I see from other styles, I never rule it out. It all has value.
Ah, thank you so much! And this is such an old, kind of crappy video of ours - I hope you've found some of our newer stuff with better production value!

Great content. The level of detail is excellent, yet explained in a way that's easy to understand.
That's what we aim for! There's no reason to make karate impossible - it should be available to those who wish to learn and do the best they can :)
Thank you Sensi Che. Love it as always. And thank you Sensi Zoe for all the info step by step and for all your time. Love it a lot. Wonderful
Ah, thank you so much! We really do try to make our videos accessible and entertaining - a hard balance to strike but we are slowly getting there! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙇♀️
This is incredible, really appreciate all the details and clarity
Ah, thank you so much for this lovely comment! We are glad to have made the bunkai easier to understand - hope it helps in your training 🙇
Thank you for always putting in this much amazing effort in making amazing content to share and explain how you see things...
It would not be possible without sensei Zoe's editing and sensei's creative and interesting ideas!

Thank you for your interpretation of bunkai of Geki Sai Dai Ichi.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🙇♀️

And to pick up on what Ché wrote, we do have a video on the oyo bunkai, we hope you will find it useful ! ua-cam.com/video/MR0GFs_ujy0/v-deo.html
Thank you for stopping by and watching! Which kata's bunkai would you like to see next?
A very realistic bunkai on seiyunchin. I know a few, however I always question whether they could be applied in a real life situation.
Goju Ryu seisan
Definitely on our production list! thank you for watching and commening!

Your version of this kata has no foot sweep with the shuto?

There is a tsuzukite - a pair kata to this kata. :)
We love to teach it to our kids and teens! Great way to teach the basics and application. We'll get back into it as soon as its safe.
Whoa!
Soon you'll be learning this, Jason!
Morio HIGAONNA has killed covid 19 with his sanchin !!!
Good médecine,isn't it?
Respect.
Sanchin is great medicine! Thank you so much for this great comment - let's all do more Sanchin!
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre yes of course !
It's better for health to Do sanchin than to have a role in trainspotting 3 😂..... imagine morio HIGAONNA under L.S.D 😂....more crazy than Francis BEGBIE !!!!😀.
Too crazy! Imagine the madness! Luckily, he seems to be living a good, safe life 😁
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre Oui !
It's a good man,and a terrible karatéka !
All Okinawa style are good,shorin too, obvious.
There are 3 kongoken Pin to the wall next to makiwara ???
We actually have 5 kongoken! The left and right side has two stacked in a row, and then the baby one (we call it the paperclip) is in the middle. Very lucky to have such equipment!
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre très bien !
