Secrets of Bunkai. But   the   Kata   must   not   show   each   detail   of   the   technique   or   following   combinations.   In   the   Kata   we see hardly more than a hind what kind of Bunkai is behind. It’s   like   the   first   picture   of   a   movie.   And   only   who   knows   the   movie   can   identify   the   movie   by seeing the first picture. But   in   a   lot   of   cases   it’s   possible   to   guess   the   logical   applications   which   follows   the   technique   of   a Kata. Dies means you can guess how the movie is going on, tough you never watched it. Only   because   of   this   possibility   we   are   able   to   see   the   meaning   behind   a   technique,   even   if   there   is no master who can or will teach us the true Bunkai. But   in   fact   there   are   cases   where   master   teach   the   wrong   applications,   tough   knowing   the   right one. In   case   of   Bassai   Dai   it   is   common   idea   that   the   first   technique   (Soe   Uke   in   Kosa   Dachi)   is   to defend   a   long   punch.   Who   ever   tries   this   will   learn   (after   he   did   wake   up),   that   he   has   done   a favour to his opponent. True ist, that the technique is a kind of throwing technique comparable to an aikido technique. To   teach   the   true   Bunkai   we   find   the   problem,   that   there   are   techniques   which   are   able   to   create serious injuries or even mortal effect. Is   it   the   right   way   to   teach   this   in   sport?   Shall   I   teach   techniques   to   make   each   student   able   to   kill someone? If   I   teach   mortal   techniques   and   a   student   use   it   to   kill   someone,   I’m   not   responsible   for   that,   but I’m the root of it. In any case if we take causality serious. Something what counts in the same way for each weapon factory. So   a   responsible   way   of   teaching   Bunkai   don’t   allows   to   show   everything   to   everyone,   especially the mortal techniques. But   before   I   start   to   teach   wrong   Bunkai,   like   in   Bassai   Dai,   I   don’t   teach   the   technique   to students. Exceptional I find a way to use the technique in sportive way. But   if   the   result   will   be   that   the   technique   will   not   work   probably   before   done   1000   times   it would’nt be really sportive and would make no sense. Fundamental   for   Bunkai   is   that   the   body   will   find   it   logical.   Maybe   we   can   say   the   body   have   to   like it. A    technique    which    will    not    start    to    work    properly    before    really    often    done,    will    not    work automatically in case of a true and sudden combat situation. On   the   other   hand,   a   Bunkai   which   I   find   easy   can   be   done   1000   times.   And   after   that   I   can   find out that it’s able to improve it with the 1001… H. Haß 2016
