Introducing bunkai for the first sequence of Pinan Godan (Heian Godan) to some students last week. Start with the kata example. Then contextualise it and included variations relative to the specific circumstances. Ensure the principles are emphasised throughout. Then introduce to semi-live and live drills (exception being the neck crack, although they can still practice getting the hands, etc into position in live drills). | Iain Abernethy
