This video looks at bunkai for the opening sequence of Seienchin (Seiyunchin) kata. It was filmed during a four day residential course in the UK. Seienchin (Seiyunchin) is not a kata that is part of my personal practise or teaching, but I believe that the principles of combat and kata transcend individual kata. We therefore applied the process of analysis to the kata and this is what we feel the kata is showing. I obviously defer to those who have studied the kata in the depth it deserves, but I nevertheless hope that our take on the sequence is of interest.
All the best,

Truly refreshing to see this bunkai for this beautiful Kata! I just finished it. One thing is performing it & another understanding the functions & applications of each movement. OSS Sir!
A very impressive display of knowledge and insight. Well done.
So good to see great application that demonstrates the raw aggression and pure violence encoded in kata. Many of the bunkai I have seen over the years have been a bit too formal and I was never truly sold on them
Your walkthroughs of Seiyunchin have been fantastic. Thank you.
That’s GREAT Sensei! Been thinking about this one for a couple of years.
Thanks for sharing this video. This will give me so much help into further understading the Kata's application.
Very refreshing the reality your analysis brings to kata ! I wonder if 150 years ago seeing someone work on this kata it was closer to this approach and if the stylized show type practice that most use today is in fact so far removed that it is contributing to the loss of this generations understanding of Karate. Keep up the great work !!
Wonderful stuff Iain. It is so good to see realistic bunkai done with combative intent.
Everyone likes to quote and mention Geoff Thompson
He was a Shotokan Sensei and knew all the kata and the proper Bunkai applications
The developed The Fence, the one punch KO, which he heavily took from boxing, and the grapple backup, mainly Judo
Do you ever see him advocating stuff like this for Door fights, or REAL Self Defence
Awesome theory and application
I am starting to learn this kata and when I watch this bunkai just I think...the sensei Ian is awesome. Thanks from Mexico
very inspiring bunkai. Thank you for sharing. your insight.
Very different analysis of this kata from a Japanese sensei. Both are very impressive.
Very good bunkai!!
Beautiful concepts you shared ?
Thanks very useful interpretation.
👏 brilliant bunkai
Very nice.
Great bunkai
Arigato Sensei!!
this is new for me. it's diametrically different from how I learned it and how I teach it.
did you consider jointlocks arm brake ?
Nevermind dhalfway in the vid looks like you did :) good stuff
Oss !
Please make a video on the application of Saifa
If you search “iain abernethy saifa” you will be pleasantly surprised to find I already have :-)
What is your style of karate Sensei?
I feel I am a martial artist first, a karateka second, and I have no idea what style I am. I think the idea of styles can be harmful to karate and the development of the individual (as did Funakoshi, etc) so I don’t ascribe to any these days. It’s simply “karate”. More here: www.iainabernethy.co.uk/article/styles-are-they-killing-karate
He has no style because he is not qualified in any genuine schools of Karate eg Shotokan, Goju, etc
He has no actual Dan grades from any school or teacher
He is certainly not a Sensei and should not be addressed as such
His Bunkai were not taught to him by any Shihan or Master from any real style or school, they are made up nonsense
It's because you are not qualified in any systems of karate
You haven't done the grading exams, yo don't have s real black belt, you don't have any Dan grades, you didn't learn from a real Sensei or master
Seriously, a mug who claims to teach karate but can't say what style or school he is from, who actually awarded his his grades, being evasive
Do you want to gake lessons from someone who can't show his lineage or who graded him, what style he actually practices
@@vinvass2674How do you know? Did you train with him?
Very good bunkai. Osu
This is almost exactly the first of 3 bunkai interpretations taught in Isshinryu. The only difference is the initial move is not to cover the face, but rather to lock an attacking punching arm (which is far more likely than a wrist grab... really, when was the last time someone tried to grab a wrist in a street fight?).
The last time someone grabbed my wrist was the last time he tried to clear a path for a strike, the last time I repeatedly hit him in the groin and he tried to stop me, the last time I grabbed his throat and my enemy tried to remove my arm, the last time he tried to arm drag me, the last time I gouged an eye and they gripped my wrist to protect themselves, and on and on. There are loads of reasons the wrist will be grabbed in real situations. All these various options were covered at the event. However, this short clip obviously can’t cover the four days. It’s always a problem with these clips (they are always incomplete and hence easily misunderstood). I hope that helps clarify that no one was suggesting an out of context grip for no reason … indeed, that was joked about :-) Thanks for watching!
Miyagi-Do meets Eagle Fang!
Osu!
can he talk just a little faster?
I can try … but I’m limited by my audience’s listening speed :-) I sometimes forget that it’s not just the people in the room that will be listening, and hence the Northern English speed and accent will need curtailed.
Not so fast that it cannot be understood clearly down here in Australia.
Why not?
Seiyunnchin kata is more to get mutchimi sensation ( like a Gréco romaine wrestler) than to be a thing stuck in a still tradition !
Strong and relax like a Bear catching a fish.....or.....try to ape morio HIGAONNA 🤔😂🤗😞.
Cordialement.
Did you see that shit vid on Karate Grapplng where he tries to convince you that Judo throws are in Kata
Like why would Okinawan forms contain throws developed from Samurai armour Grappling that got into the KITO Ryu that passed into the Kodokan
Then he and his boyfriend, after too much wanking over the UFC tapes (mid 90s) were rolling round the floor together doing impractical and very poor white belt Newaza
Look at books by the Karate Masters such as Oyama
After a Karate move, when he demos a throw he writes, do a Judo throw
He acknowledged the throw was from Judo, he doesn't pretend it was hidden in the kata
Same as the Aikijutsu from the Daito Ryu was the self defence in Kyokushin
He doesn't pretend it's hidden in the kata
If these Masters don't have these Bunkai, why does AberCuntKnee
If these applications were really in the kata then the Okinawan masters would have taught them that way and passed them on
Abercrombie didn't learn these Bunkai from any master or teacher
He is not even doing the Kata or the sequences properly so his applications only make sense if you don't do the Kata right in the first place
Look at Kenpo where the 156 self defence sets are in the forms
Five swords and Thundering Hammers, both Master Key movement, are in Long Four
This method, which looks like trying to take moves from other MA, Kung fu or Silat, and graft them into a modified version of the kata, misses the point
Abrrcunt is not a Sensei, he does not know the forms, and does not know the applications
While Geoff Thompson and those guys, Terry O Neil, Gary Spiers, etc , we're working the doors of the pubs and clubs, using their Karate in REAL fights, Abs Have Girth from Beer was drinking pints in them
Don't believe this unrealistic shit is really in karate kata, can really work in a fight, otherwise all the real karate Sensei who work the doors would all be doing it
And the Masters would have been teaching it
