In this video we explore some of the bunkai of the kata Chinte (“Unusual Hands”); specifically, the opening sequence. The kata contains a number of hand positions not seen in more widely practised kata; hence the name. Punching into the hand is also not widely seen in other forms; however, the principle of using one hand to locate the target while the other strikes is a core old-school karate concept.

All the best,

Iain
