Karate pinon 5 questions?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rock1v3ywcM#t=239
The pinan is also known as Pinan Sono Go
Hi guys so I just learned this Kata and no one seems to know the bunkai for it in my dojo (my head sifu is injured right now so I cant ask him). So like the last one, just a few questions:
1. Is there anything special about the high block at 5:09? We dont step through with a punch, we do a knife hand. after the knifehand (so we are in a cat stance) we step over into a futo on our left side and do a hammer. Is that a hidden fist throw technique?
2. 5:28. Theres gotta be something more to that jumping cross block. If I remember correctly, pugpaws said its a really nasty throw that starts as a jointlock and ends with a throw?
3: Our version is slightly different. For one thing, multiple times we turn in our stances towards the end 180 or even at the very end 360 degrees before striking for no apparent reason. At the very end we do a pull tension move (A move where you pull strength and breath throughout a slow movement). What we do is, in a futo, looking one direction with our hands in spears facing the opposite direction, we slowly move them across our body into a spearhand strke and look where out hands were. We then step over and do the same thing on the other side.
So is there hidden bunkai in this kata? Thanks!

Yes there is what you call hidden bunkai in that Kata. In all Kata there is omote (the obvious) and ura (the hidden).
Yes, there is something special in the what you call a 'high block'. Rather than just looking at single techniques look at combination of movements. So in this case look at the movements that follow. They all go together and are joint manipulations. A punch is not always a punch and in this case is an entering straight in taking a hold of the opponent and the next move (turn) is the throw. As for details on how to actually get this to work you really need to be shown. I do not have the words to begin to describe details. The same is true for your 2nd question. As far as making tension moves out of regular moves that is an artistic interpretation and could be done with any move in the Kata if you wanted. It's just on those particular moves it looks really nice if you are doing the Kata for demo/competition purposes.

i do love pugpaws bunkai, he does have some great ones. he showed us a few when we where visiting him
the age juji uke has several applications. like all the movements, the obvious one is the trapping of the arm, i prefer using it as a choke followed by a neck crank, more then likely you wont break the neck but you can royally screw it up. do be careful with your partners.
as for the jump the application of the throwing lock is rather nasty. i would suggest a more simpler one to start out with, something like jumping or avoiding a leg attack and striking the opponents leg with the gedan juji uke.
but there several others.
you should consider the pinan series is a basic kata and at your level the application should be simple. while there is a lot of grappling application in it. bunkai needs to be a technique you can pull off and with in your abilities, if iits not in you to pull the technique off it is useless to you. you must own the technique

These are exactly the way that I learned them. I've never seen a video of it. Thanks for posting it.
BTW-I've been a Black Belt for over 30 yrs.
