ADVANCED NAIHANCHIN/TEKKI SHODAN KATA BUNKAI FLOW DRILL

Watch this practical Naihanchin/Tekki Shodan bunkai (practical kata application) flow drill filmed after the Brazilian seminar tour of Jesse Enkamp (The Karate Nerd) presented by Samir Berardo of Muidokan.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Sensei Samir in person (hopefully, one day Sensei Jesse too!), in a seminar by Shihan Yokota in Goiania, Brazil.
He took very kindly to my questions and briefly (our time was sort, sadly!) shared a lot of his knowledge with me; I am very grateful for that.
And on the "practical" part of sharing his knowledge: he then asked me, smiling: "Have you ever 'suffered' the Naihanchi bunkai?" After I said 'no', he proceed to prove on an "unwilling" training partner that one can really defeat an opponent by applying the Naihanchi Shodan techniques; IN ORDER of the kata movements, mind you that. It was certainly not my first time practicing bunkai, but I had never seen it perfectly enacted upon a resisting partner.

I still consider myself a 'novice' shortly after earning my Shotokan blackbelt, but what Sensei Samir has shown me made me feel like a white belt again; I guess that is what Karate Do should feel like, specially after you really begin to try to understand and learn its Way.

It was both a humbling and eye opening experience, and I look forward to repeating it in the near future.

Not only is Sensei Samir profoundly knowledgeable, but he is also eager to share what he's learned with one who provides an attentive ear. Truly the makings of a great Sensei.

I am most happy to have made his acquaintance and now have the pleasure of considering him a friend.

Oss!

Jesse, Iain Abernethy and Samir are my favourite western bunkai experts.Every karateka can take very useful knowledge from them.Respect.

I've been doing Nainchi Shodan for 25 years and I'm STILL learning new things about it, like today! Great video!

As a Samir's student i feel proud to see his work finally going out on public! When i started to train at Muidokan i felt a little bit lost, because our mindseting to do our things was diferent from the other martial arts i alredy praticed.

[hapsororenaldy]

the best bunkai of tekki i found so far. thank you so much!

[ArielDominguez]

I stop practicing karate. But i still find myself watching videos about karate. The bunkai aspect of karate is the most obscure subject, i just can't accept most of the aplications one tipically finds on the internet and most dojos. This was great Jesse. Along the videos of vitor belfort's trainer that you also put online. You are filling the gaps that are missing in most karate channels. Keep going please.

Wow. I've never seen a bunkai that seems so effective and matches the kata so perfectly! Thank you sensei Jesse and sensei Samir!

Bunkai is the greatest. And this Naihanchi is one of my favourite Kata. I always imagine what I would be doing to an opponent when performing Kata. This video is

[ismailnaser]

I actually love more of these type of videos please

[stevenyanacsek]

Neat! The bunkai for Tekki is truly deep and many faceted.

[fox_foxtrot]

I love this Kata, after many many years of hating it, then taking another perspective and thinking“outside the box”, I started to understand it. This Kata is a very complete close-combat system if you know how to use it.
Jesse-san, Could you continue this study of the kata in another/s video? That would be awesome!
Thanks Senseis for this great vid!
