Tandoku (solo pad drill kata)

By Practical Kata Bunkai on

https://www.iainabernethy.co.uk/ This video gives an overview of a solo pad drill kata I created for the practise of close-range striking. The pad hand represents a hand being on the enemy’s head in order to locate the head during the chaos of combat via proprioception (a common practise in traditional kata). On occasion the pad needs moved to represent other targets i.e. the groin. The kata takes into account the enemy’s likely reaction (or lack thereof) to various strikes. It is also constructed to contain the minimum number of sequences to permit the practise of the integrated use of the various close-range strikes. Focus mitts did not exist at the time the traditional kat were created. I therefore feel there is a need for a kata for this modern form of practise. More detailed instruction can be found within my app. My App: https://iainabernethy.co.uk/iain-abernethys-applied-karate-kata-bunkai-app Shop: https://iainabernethy.co.uk/shop/ My Newsletter: https://www.iainabernethy.co.uk/join-newsletter-and-get-two-free-e-books
