Is there any websites that tell/show bunkai for katas?

Question

I have looked but haven't found a site for seipai or gion. Which are the 2 I need help on. I need to know bunkai for my next test

Answer 1

http://www.koryu-uchinadi.com/

They have a list of bunkai sites  also type teruo chinen  or taira masaji  into google . Chinen has some bunkai on you tube..

These are very advanced bunkai way beyond the silliness that is usually presented as bunkai.

You can also type jion bunkai or seipai bunkai into you tube.

Isn't your sensei supposed to be teaching you this?

Answer 2

As Bunmin said, your teacher is supposed to teach you the bunkai to your kata.

The main problem, and the reason "karate" is viewed as a "stand up" and "striking" art is because 95 percent of the teachers don't know the bunkai to their own kata.

The bunkai you will see on the internet is very basic and will not give you a true sense of what bunkai is supposed to be.

The bunkai you are probably referring to is more like two-man sets based on the kata. This is something you should be able to figure out on your own. Find someone willing to work with you and give it a shot.

Answer 3

There are sites out there, like Youtube, but you should really be learning it from your instructor. Different schools may have different interpretations of the kata as reflected in the bunkai. I watched a couple of Seipai bunkai on Youtube and found some differences from they way I learned it.
