Tandoku (solo pad drill kata)

- www.iainabernethy.co.uk/ This video gives an overview of a solo pad drill kata I created for the practise of close-range striking. The pad hand represents a hand being on the enemy’s head in order to locate the head during the chaos of combat via proprioception (a common practise in traditional kata). On occasion the pad needs moved to represent other targets i.e. the groin. The kata takes into account the enemy’s likely reaction (or lack thereof) to various strikes. It is also constructed to contain the minimum number of sequences to permit the practise of the integrated use of the various close-range strikes. Focus mitts did not exist at the time the traditional kat were created. I therefore feel there is a need for a kata for this modern form of practise. More detailed instruction can be found within my app.

This Is Really nice. As you say every training method is a compromise but these drills cover a lot of gaps of other methods such as kata training, makiwari practice, a partner practice. I've been practicing short drills
(3 techniques max) with a hand pad fastened to a post to allow hitting with power, your drill has the benefit of including footwork, distance change, and opponent reaction. I'm definitely adding these to my practice. Love you posts on bunkai. I practice traditional Chinese arts but your analysis of Karate kata is incredibly relevant and thought provoking. I was taught when you learn the kata or form you only learn half the form, to fully understand the form you need to understand the opponents reaction to each move and how that reaction leads to the next move. I think it's clear that you really know the forms. Respect to all.
Hey, I recognize that location and those two guys :-)
It was great to have you with us. Learned a lot that weekend and enjoyed every minute of it!
I am sure you do! Was a great weekend (on all fronts) and on reviewing the summary footage, I figured others may enjoy a taste of what we covered :-) Thanks once again!
That's a fantastic solo pad kata, two person drill and two person pad drill. The complete matrix. Thank you for sharing.
Nicely done. 👍
Very nice! Always something good. Thank you!
“Spike him with the elbow” my favorite line of the day . Aside from that I like the use of the low roundhouse against the leg.
thanks Iain
Wonderfull drill. May I, with full credit given, incorporate this into my school's curriculum?
Of course! I share this stuff in the hope it will have a positive impact on people’s training and teaching. If you have not seen it, there is a much more detailed breakdown in my app that may also be of interest.
That’s the right way to do it. 👍
Cool
Dear Ian Sensei,
Karate is an empty hand art isn't it?
It would be a privilege if u could please show us the various Karate techniques against all kinds of weapon attacks.
1. Sticks and Clubs
2. Chains, belts and Whips
3. Iron Rods
4. Knives and bladed weapons such as machete and swords
5. Guns and rifles (depends on distance between u and the assailant)
6. Projectile weapons.
I'm saying this cuz in today's world a karateka is most likely to be attacked with weapons other than unarmed.
So we will all be obliged if you could pick up bunkai techniques from katas dealing with weapons.
Cuz in olden times Karate as an empty art was used against weapons.
Oss!
Always a fascinating and important topic! Crime statistics in the UK show that people are more likely to be assaulted by an unarmed person than an armed one (other countries may be different). The methods of limb control, getting to an angle, and escape apply whether the enemy is armed or unarmed; the key difference being if the hand is holding something or not. I, therefore, don’t see kata as having a specific demarcation between armed and unarmed. I am also not a fan of complex disarms and find myself in agreement with a master of Arnis I once had a discussion with when he said, “the best way to defang the snake [disarm] is to rip the snakes ####### head off” i.e. focus on disabling the person holding the weapon as opposed to trying to strip the weapon from them. I did a podcast on this a number of years ago that you may find interesting: iainabernethy.co.uk/content/weapon-defence In brief, the methods needed to deal with an armed assault are covered by kata, but there is not a distinct set of methods for armed / unarmed. It's predominately subtle differences in tactics as opposed to differing techniques. I have a series of four live drills to practise dealing with weapons that allow the in-context use of kata methods. I’ve not shared these publicly, as anything online is prone to misunderstanding, but they can be found within my app. I hope that helps. All the best, Iain
@@practicalkatabunkai Thanks for your reply Sir. Karate is the literal translation of Art of Empty Hands. Its also a warrior art as it was used by peasants against Samurais who had swrods and other weapons. So an empty handed defence against a guy with a chain or a whip would be: let the guy swing, u evade it and as his back his turned a side kick to the knee and continous attacks to his vital points using kyosho jutsu before his second swing. Against a overhead strike with a stick, block with your forearm and strike his vital points. Knife is very close distance so a disarm technique might just do. Basically any weapon attack using karate bocking techniques or grasp, holds (from one of your bunkai) since any weapon be it knife, sword, machete, sticks, clubs, battons, chains etc. need atleast all 5 fingers to grasp that particular weapon. This is one of basic principals as taught in Martial art Schools. so stopping the armed assault at this juncture while simultaneously attacking the vital points with immediate effect using kyosho jutsu is what I think applies to Karate-the great art.
Regards Sensei
@@chetanyamundachali5612 It’s commonly thought that karate was a peasants art formed, in part, to deal with the occupying samurai. However, that’s not correct. Most of the old masters came from the upper classes (the only ones with the time and resources to study martial arts at the time). Unfortunately, there’s a lot of myths / pseudo-history built up around all the martial arts. Common karate myths are things like it was formed when the samurai banned weapons (they didn’t ban weapons, just firearms); the samurai wore wooden armour so that’s why breaking boards were practised (they didn’t wear such armour let alone the practical issues); karate has its origins in the methods taught by Bodhidharma in the shaolin temple (no evidence he was ever there and the story comes from a debunked document written over 1000 years after the events were said to take place), etc. Karate was a civilian self-protection system designed for dealing with “villains and ruffians” (Itosu). It’s therefore not historically correct to say that karate was for dealing with samurai.
As above, it’s been my experience that “disarms” are generally very ineffective. Disable / disorientate the assailant while doing what you can to control the weapon arm and then get out of there ASAP. Go in hard. Go out hard. It’s the hesitation in the middle that causes the most problems. I see seeking to strip the weapon being an unnecessary step, which is highly unlikely to work, and would contribute to that hesitation. You can’t be harmed by the weapon if the person wielding it is disabled or disorientated (go in hard), or you are outside it’s effective range (go out hard). It’s the same strategy whether the enemy is armed or not. That’s why I don’t see a hard demarcation between armed and unarmed methods.

Dear Ian Sensei,
First of all Wishing u a very Happy and prosperous New Year 2023!
Yes there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the origins of Karate.
One very weird one I found was:
A video game on Karate!
The back cover read as 'To protect the Emperor, 5 bodyguards created such a deadly art...pr something like that. I saw this at a store 14 years ago.
This is the weirdest one. But there's no doubt that Karate actually started in Okinawa.
Thanks for giving us your insight.
Now, I have read some of your books. I really appreciate the time and efforts u put in Karate's Grappling methods. U took the best techniques from every Kata.
Ur indeed a scholar of this Art.
I have an idea. If u could write your next book ✍️ on Karate against weapons: Techniques that can save u from an armed assault.
So no disarming techniques as u mentioned. But how Karate techniques (especially from katas)
can be used to disable an armed attacker. So blocks against a stick or club attack followed by a chop to the throat or neck. Evade knife and machete strikes and attack the sensitive parts of the attacker using kyusho. Defence against 3 or more armed attackers (happens in the real world sadly) throw some dirt in the attackers eyes. Evasion techniques against flexible weapons such as chains, swords (if possible)
Finally how to deal with a gun.
The possibilities of using Karate against armed assailants are endless if I'm not wrong.
Just a thought. Thanks again for giving me a such a valuable insight.
Happy New Year once again!
Cheers 🍻
