Tekki / Naihanchi Nidan Bunkai and Flow Drill

By Practical Kata Bunkai on

https://iainabernethy.com/ In this video I cover bunkai and a flow drill for Tekki Nidan / Naihanchi Nidan. The footage recorded at Christian Wedewardt’s castle retreat in July 2025. PRE-EMPTIVE NOTE: This video is made and posted for those who are interested in an in-depth look at my take on this kata. If you are someone with a painfully short attention span, who wants “crash, bang, wallop” videos with zero exposition (“lots of explanation / talking” if “exposition” is too big a word for you), then know no one is forcing you to watch and there are lots of other videos on the internet aimed at you. Please also remember that I don’t work for you and hence I am under no obligation to make videos specifically to your individual requirements. The fact you have the attention span of a strobe-lit goldfish with a head injury is not my problem. I have added this pre-emptive note because I know that previously posted videos of mine, that are more than a few minutes long, seem to infuriate some people. I am pleased to be able to inform those people that you are entirely free to watch other things instead. I make these specifically for those who like the details explained. Fair enough? Good. Now off you #### to TicTok. This video first appeared in the iain abernethy app (available from Google Play and the Apple App Store). If you are serious about pragmatic karate, then the hundreds of hours of instructional information in the app provides an in-depth and ever-growing resource (the app is updated with new material each week): https://iainabernethy.com/iain-abernethys-applied-karate-kata-bunkai-app My App: https://iainabernethy.com/iain-abernethys-applied-karate-kata-bunkai-app Shop: https://iainabernethy.com/shop Newsletter: https://iainabernethy.com/join-newsletter-and-get-two-free-e-books
