The Pinan / Heian Series: The Complete Fighting System Vol. 1 (Download)

This series reveals, for the very first time, a unique set of two-person drills for the Pinan / Heian series that will enable karateka - of all styles and levels of experience - to return practical combat skills to the heart of kata training. The drills are logical and structured in a way that ensures the gap between solo kata and live combat is effectively bridged.

Volume 1 shows the two-person drills associated with the first three of the Pinan / Heian series (Shodan, Nidan and Sandan). Viewers will see how these drills perfectly follow the kata sequences, with each drill building on the next, so that the practitioner becomes versed in a holistic set of combative methods. This includes striking, breaking balance, controlling limbs, takedowns, a variety of locks and cranks, grappling and throws. This download also includes demonstrations of the kata themselves and a discussion of the background and history of the Pinan / Heian series.

Note: In combination with Bunkai-Jutsu Volume 1 - which gives an overview of the various ways in which the motions of the Pinan / Heian series can be applied - the specific two man practise drills shown in this series will give the viewer everything they need to practise the wide variety of bunkai that these kata have to offer.

Beyond Bunkai: A Holistic Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan Close-Range Flow Drill (Download)

This download presents a unique non-scripted flow drill that includes all the motions found within Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan. Ideal for the more experienced bunkai practitioner, and essentially infinite in its variations, this drill shows the depth of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan and includes gripping skills, head-butting, biting, gouging, seizing, locking, controlling limbs, chokes, cranks, takedowns and close-range kicking.

This drill is also unlike most flow drills in that it is not carefully scripted nor does it involve giving up a position of advantage so your partner can have their turn. The drill instead enables the practitioner to dominate at close-range, flow past any obstructions the enemy may present, safely escape, and practise applying the bunkai of the kata in a realistic context. This download also includes a breakdown of the kata itself and a discussion on the history of Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan.

Bunkai-Jutsu: Practical Kata Applications Volume 1- The Pinan / Heian Series (Download)

Bunkai-Jutsu is the analysis of the karate katas (forms) and their application in real combat. The fighting applications of the katas is one of the most fascinating and sadly misunderstood aspects of karate practice.

Volume 1 covers the applications of the Pinan / Heian (peaceful mind) series. The great Anko Itsou formulated these katas in the early 1900s. They are a complete system of fighting in their own right and were designed to be a collection of the most effective methods being practised in the Shuri region of Okinawa at that time.

This download examines the strikes, locks, throws, chokes, strangles, traps, ground-fighting and combative strategies recorded within the Pinan / Heian series.

Volume two covers Naihanchi (Tekki) and Passai (Bassai-Dai). Today, Naihanchi / Tekki is often undervalued due to its simplistic appearance. This download shows the highly effective close-range fighting applications of the form and reveals just why the kata was so highly regarded by the masters of old.

The second part of the program covers Passai / Bassai-Dai kata and demonstrates the strikes, throws, takedowns, locks, neck-cranks, chokes, combative strategies etc that have made this form one of the most popular in the history of karate.

Volume 3 covers the applications of Kushanku / Kanku-Dai. The kata is a record of the highly effective striking and grappling methods taught by the Chinese martial artist Kushanku. It is said that the kata was constructed by the legendary Tode Sakagawa, who became a student of Kushanku's when he came to Okinawa in 1756.

This kata is also known as Kosokun (alternative pronunciation) and Kanku-Dai (Japanese name for the form). This download provides instruction on the no-nonsense fighting techniques hidden within the kata.

Volume 4 covers the applications of the kata known as Seishan (thirteen) or Hangetsu (half-moon). This kata is one of the oldest still in existence and it is widely practised.

Volume 5 covers the applications of Chinto / Gankaku kata. The kata is named after a Chinese martial artist and sailor who became shipwrecked on Okinawa during the 1800s. Chinto eventually taught his fighting methods to Bushi Matsumura: a legendary karate master and the chief bodyguard to three Okinawan kings.

Kata-Based-Sparring (Download)

Kata and sparring are two essential elements of karate. The kata were created to record the techniques, concepts and methodology that the past masters used in civilian combat. However, in many modern Dojos sparring is now entirely based on the rules of competitive karate and therefore has little in common with the principles of traditional kata or the needs of self-protection.

In this unique DVD, karate expert Iain Abernethy returns to a traditional approach to sparring, with the kata as its foundation. Learn the building blocks of lain's kata-based-sparring concept through the numerous live drills shown on this DVD, and gain the confidence and ability to apply the combative methods of the kata when it really counts.

Iain Abernethy is a fifth dan black belt with the British Combat Association, and is regarded as one of the leading exponents of applied karate.

Karate Joint Locks - Volume 1: Elbow-Locks (Download)

In modern times karate is most frequently practised as a limited mid- to long-range striking only system. However, it wasn't always that way! Originally karate was a holistic fighting system that covered all ranges and all martial aspects.

Whilst there is a great deal of information available on karate's modern striking methods, information on the close-range aspect of the art is very sparse. This unique series of downloads reveals the joint-locks of karate.

Through studying these downloads karateka will learn where joint-locks are recorded within the traditional kata, and also how they can expand upon the examples of the kata to yet further develop their knowledge.

This volume covers elbow-locks and shows how the elbow can be attacked and manipulated from both a standing position and from on the floor. These downloads are a must for all karateka who wish to practise karate in a holistic and pragmatic way.

The Masters Seminar: Seminars Vol. 3 (Download)

This download records Iain's teaching at the Summersdale Master's Seminar in August 2005. This landmark seminar saw some of the UK's leading martial artists - from a variety of differing arts and styles - teach together for the very first time.

On this download you'll get to see Iain Abernethy 5th dan Karate (BCA & EKGB) teach a detailed session on covering and clinching. These vitally important close-range skills are a must for all martial artists, regardless of style or system.

Aside from the simplicity of the techniques themselves, what is remarkable is that Iain clearly shows how the techniques taught are found within Naihanchi / Tekki kata! This aspect of Iain's teaching enthralled both karateka and non-karateka alike. No other download on the market shows how Naihanchi / Tekki records all aspects of fighting from a clinch. Indeed, this aspect of the kata has never even been previously presented in Iain's own works!

The techniques shown include covering, clinching, taking away the opponent's weapons, escaping from the clinch, striking from a clinch, countering an opponent's grip and more! All aspects of clinch fighting are covered and this download is a must watch for any martial artist wishing to enhance their understanding close-range combat.
