33m
In this second tape on bunkai, Hanshi Bruce Juchnik continues the discussion of why practitioners do form, addressing the tendency among martial artists to become nearsighted in their understanding of kata. He clarifies that bunkai cannot be fully explained on a single tape, or even three hundred, and that the term itself means discussion rather than mere application. The tape covers prejudices in martial arts study, the relationship between kata and waza, beginner versus advanced timing, the role of muscle groups in form, and why bunkai typically takes twenty to thirty years of training before it begins to be understood.
