Waza Wednesday 9-2-15 - Passai Dai Oyo Bunkai

This week's Waza Wednesday looks at a sequence from Passai Dai (Tawada Passai), although similar movements can be found in other kata, as well. As always, the exact attack is less important than positioning, points of contact, and direction of movement.

Waza Wednesday--the day Sensei Richard Poage shares a karate or kobudo technique with the world. Sensei Poage is a Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan practitioner under Sensei Eddie Bethea, and specializes in kata bunkai (analysis). He teaches at Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts & Healing Center in Scottsdale, AZ, and is available to book for seminars.

Peaceful Warrior was founded in 2010 by Renshi Richard M. Poage and Sensei Tiffany Richards, with a mission to create a community where health, wellness and martial arts training are used to better the lives of its members. It is our wish that through the training of the martial arts and other holistic health practices, our students are motivated to live healthier lives physically, mentally and spiritually.

*DISCLAIMER: Do not attempt any of these techniques without a properly trained instructor. Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts & Healing Center, its owners, and its staff, are not responsible for any harm or injury resulting from attempting these techniques.
