Bunkai (Analyzed) Kumite

It is the characteristics of Shito-Kai that all learners scrutinize the contents of all skills with Kata as the basics. All learners practically and theoretically study all skills and practice as Bunkai (Analyzed) Kumite.

There are not so many techniques introduced and taught in one Kata. But, when we see all the combinations of application and variation of skills, the total number of skills is almost limitless

When you do Bunkai (Analyzed) Kumite, you should not do it by simply using skills mechanically or by complying with the movements of your opponent. You should catch the target of your attack by seeing the movements and the intervals of your opponent. At the same time, you should attack your opponent all at once with the best power and quick movements that you have. You should always have the mentality of striking and smashing your opponent with no failure.

In this case, when you do not attack your target all at once, your opponent cannot practice any Uke Waza or Tenshin (changing of the position).

The defender should be ready for watching the opponent tight, maintaining the position for change, Uke Waza, counterattack and keen tension. One big characteristics of the defender is to keep the stance of defense and offense at the same time.

The moment you dodge and evade the strike of your opponent is the time that your opponent is most vulnerable and unguarded. It is also the time when your opponent should rebuild his stance. So it is most important for you to strike back quick and fast in no time at this point.
