The new Beyond Bunkai DVD is now on sale! The DVD is for the more experienced bunkai practitioner who is ready to drill the applications of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan in a flowing, unscripted and realistic way.

Here is part 3 of the wide-ranging discussion recorded on the evening before the USA side of the X-Po event earlier this year. Kris Wilder, Rory Miller, Marc “Animal” MacYoung, Al Peasland, Nicholas Yang & myself had a good chat about all things martial at Kris’s place and recorded it. It has been split into eleven parts and the third part was added to you-tube yesterday. I hope you enjoy it and we’ll be sure to bring you all other episodes as they become available.

All the best,

Iain

A couple of years ago Michael Rosenbaum kindly made his book “Comprehensive Karate” freely available via this website (on Christmas day!). In the not too distant future we will be setting up a download page for all the e-books and PDFs that we have made available over the years. However, this book has always been very popular so I wanted to get it up here as soon as possible. If you’ve not yet read the book (where have you been?!) you can download it from this page and all the details can be found below. I hope you enjoy it!

All the best,

Iain

Regular visitors will recall that at the USA side of the X-Po event eariler this year Kris Wilder, Rory Miller, Marc “Animal” MacYoung, Al Peasland, Nicholas Yang & myself had a good chat about all things martial at Kris’s place … and we recorded it!

It was a very wide-ranging discussion and how often do you get such a group under one roof and around one table! The first part of this recording has been uploaded to You-Tube and is now available for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy it and we’ll be sure to bring you all other episodes as they become available.

Hi All,

Just a very quick note - as I'm frantically busy approving memberships :-) – that this is fantastic! The number of accounts we have set up in the last day or so is simply amazing! The visitor rate is also great.

The forum has got off to a great start too! The original forum was awesome and I really want this one to be every bit as good, if not better, a source of good quality information for the 1000s of visitors we get each day. The opening posts are of really good quality and I can’t thank you all enough.

Hi All,

As you can see, the new website is live!

To get the best out of the site, you should join up as that will enable you to post on the forum and message each other individually and in groups!

Welcome to the latest Extreme Impact drill! This drill is from the forthcoming “Extreme Impact Unit 8: Confusion Drills” (to be released in Sept 2010). Confusion drills are ones that mess with the mind and body by never allowing you to “find your groove”. The drills involve variations in tempo, intensity and impact to keep you constantly outside of your comfort zone! I hope you “enjoy” making use of this drill in your training and teaching. We will be back with more samples and exclusive drills soon!

All the best,

Iain
