Apart from the Kata & Application range - 28 Shotokan-based kata bunkai DVDs - we have a range of other kata. Mostly Naha-te based (but not exclusively), here they are: Seiyunchin  Also written as Seienchin or Seiunchin, this fandamental Naha-te kata has powerful applications, some of which are demonstrated and explained here on this hour long video. Stances, angles, turns, hand strikes, locks, grappling, and much more are all available from this one kata. The DVD is available post free here £19.95 The Download is available here at $29.95  Rohai  This is nearest to the Wadokai version of the kata. It is a simple set of applications in an hour long presentation, showing how this crane kata can be used for striking, balance manipulations, and locking joints. Practical applications, including the "u-shaped punch" and the five-finger spear hand. "Just down loaded and watched your Rohai level 1 video. It is great, just what I was looking for. A lot of ideas I hadn't even considered in my own training, I paticuarly enjoyed your take on the 1 legged possition and the reason for the 360 degree spin on the shotouke. poor old Ros though he alwasys seems to take a battering haha. thanks very much for all your hard work with this project" B.D. The Rohai video is available as a download at $24.95 Gekisai Dai Ichi  The first kata of GojuRyu, created by Miyagi sensei. Often seen as a beginner's exercise, here it is shown to be a powerful tool for defeating an opponent. You don't call a Kata "Attack and Smash" for nothing, you know... Running time: over an hour The DVD is available post free £19.95 The Gekisai Dai Ichi video is available as a download at $29.95  Gekisaidai Ni The fundamental kata is explored from the viewpoint of close-in responses to attack. Practical applications are presented for the techniques introduced in this kata, as well as further variants of the moves repeated from the last kata. Locks, throws, strikes, as you'd expect. The DVD is available post free £19.95  The Gekisaidai Ni video is available as a download at $24.95 Sanchin & Tensho In this video, lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes, John Burke sensei takes a look at the kata Sanchin and the kata Tensho. These fundamental mainstays of Naha-te Karate lineages like Goju Ryu and Uechi Ryu are widely practiced as breathing exercises and body development forms. Some even go so far as to say "there are no applications" to them. Of course, the movements are found in other kata. Kata that are considered "fighting kata" or "complete styles" in their own right. So here the moves are shown with practical self defence in mind. Sanchin & Tensho - pairing where the yin & yang of the martial arts, hardness and softness, flow and tension, are found in an ever-changing tide of balance and imbalance.  The Sanchin & Tensho video is available as a download at $29.95  Whereas the Sanchin & Tensho volume offers up a comparison and contrast of the two kata, thisvolume gives us 50 minutes of extra insight into Tensho on it's own. Rotating palms, and how those "soft movements" can be used to tie up an opponent in knots. The DVD is available here post free £19.95 The Tensho 2 video is available as a download at $29.95 The Bunkai Strategies Newsletter 2012 comprised of a series of video clips totalling over 90 minutes of tuition.

 Tuite in Tekki This hour long video features the kata Tekki Shodan and parts of Tekki Nidan and Sandan (also know, with small variations, as Naihanchi) and how the art of "twisting hands" relates to the applications. Obviously, there are stiking applications that are shown on Kata & Application volumes 7, 16, and 26 but here we look particularly at the side of the art where restraint can be enhanced to limb damage.
