Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it! @ markstraining: Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I've seen simple and more complex bunkai, and while I think I'm only at the stage where I could give relatively simple bunkia, having seen the more advanced practitioners demonstrate just how expansive it can be, I'm definitely aiming to start thinking outside the box early on. @ Matt: No worries, I really liked that post on your blog, it was a convenient reminder for me to write about this part of kata.

My opinion is that if the bunkai is not practical and very simple that people with a low amount of training can do it then it is not a good bunkai. The hard part which I hate though is having a technique in a kata and for the life of me, I cant seem to see how it can be applied in combat. After a while though, im either shown or figure out myself that its bunkai is again, very simple. Nice blog. I love the fact that kata bunkai is simple and effective.

I know what you mean about that love-hate relationship with kata. It be very mentally taxing to burn it into memory and then continuously refresh it so as not to lose it. Luckily it's almost always worth the effort. Great blog here, keep it up! Sean,
