Bunkai/Applications for Tekki-Nidan / Naihanchi-Nidan

Hi everybody,

recently after a training session we tried to find some practical applications for the kata Tekki-Nidan aka Naihanchi-Nidan. This is what we came up with.

The purpose of the video is that we can remember what we did. It is not ment for instruction. Anyway I thought, I'd share our ideas, in case somebody might find them useful. :)

All the best,

Marc

Some nice ideas. I particularly liked the first two, partly because I teach something similar out of Passai, but mainly because they are, in my view very simple concepts which are likely to succeed under pressure. Regards

Thanks for sharing! That’s a great addition to the collective knowledge pool!

I do some very similar things myself for Tekki / Naihanchi Nidan. The first video explains the basics on my favoured way of viewing the opening sequence. The second expands upon that, and in the second half show how we should “rough it up” once the basics of technique has been learned. The third video gives some examples of how Shodan, Nidan and Sandan can integrate.

For the record, I value the Nidan and Sandan versions for the additional information and insights they provide; but Shodan will happily and effectively stand-alone without them. At seminars I joke that the Naihanchi kata are like The Matix movies … you only really need to see the first one, but the others give some additional insights if you are inclined to seek them out :-)

All the best,

Iain

Thanks Mark. We liked the idea that the first part provides us with a one sequence that fits all four types of bear hugs. So whenever you feel you've been surrounded by unsolicited arms you can do your thing and it will get you free.

Tekki Shodan contains most of what we will probably need, as it teaches all the important principles and deals with the most habitual acts of violence. I also like the simplicity of Shodan. No fancy moves or tricks. Just down-to-earth unbalancing, locating the target, and hitting hard. Tekki Nidan and Sandan presume that you have Shodan down cold. Then you can try the more complicated stuff, but if it fails, you can alway rely on your Shodan skills. Also bear hug escapes are missing from Shodan, as far as I could figure out.

I like the Matrix analogy. Works for me. :)

Take care,

Marc

I would agree that bear hug escapes are not easily available in Naihanchi Shodan. I have one for a rear bear hug which works well but to be honest I simply use explanations out of the Bubishi for those scenarios. They're very simple and effective.
