It's good to see you making the effort to explain these applications. Your even ironed your gi which shows respect for yourself, your art and your viewers. Many thanks.
Thanks for the kind words about my applications over all. Although this one is not to your tastes, I disagree that the kosa-dachi is not needed. The kosa-dachi is needed in order to get off line and close enough in order to deliver the associated low punch effectively. Any other position / stance will have the enemy’s upper body get in the way. It also gives a downward and forward shift in bodyweight which will add power to the punch ...
I’m interested on what is the application of the third sequence of Gedan barai, Gyakuzuki with crane stance into the double punches? I would like to see both versions of Wado Ryu and Shotokan. Thanks once again for another wonderful and informative video of practical kata bunkai.
I enjoyed the bunkai explnation. I have done a mr. obvious scenario for years and enjoy a fresh review that not only works in conjunction with the kata but is effective as well .It could therefore be blended into a variety of scenarios that you have touched upon. I practice the wave like in and out as well as certain grounding movements that enhance the movement. thanks again. ... greg dillon
...The stance also ensures the bodyweight can be pushed back for the following crank. Whilst there are instances of kosa-dachi being part of a throwing motion, that is not its only function. I think we need to look at the surrounding motions in order to see the context in which a given motion is performed. Personally I do feel this one flows well and I do like the “wave like” in and out of the last two motions of which the kosa-dachi plays a vital part ...
… I cannot see how the arm position on the kosa-dachi and the following gedan-barai could be a throw? Unless the kata sequence is majorly deviated from? Thanks once again for the kind words and the feedback. While you think differently about this than I do, I nevertheless hope that this is useful in explaining my thinking. All the best, Iain
sensei, I'm courious about wansu from matsubayashi shorin-ryu.. almost simmilar but yet different.. and also wansu from seibukan shorin-ryu.. this kata is very different..
I Generally like Sensei's bunkai explanations but this one seems off the mark. I always use the term Blend and Flow. This application does not flow. There is no need to enter into Kosa dachi. It seems to be a wasted movement. Kosa dachi should used as a preparation for a throw.

As always, an excellent example and explanation of technique.
