The following bunkai descriptions are taken from two renditions we have on tape: the first from a demonstration by Master Yonamine at Camp ’90 in New England; the second from a demonstration by Master Kiyohide Shinjo at the Black Belt Championships in Clearwater, Florida in 1994. Please add your corrections and/or input for further editing.</P>

Sanseiryu Bunkai

Post by j_driscoll »

Hi,
Do you actively practice Sanseiryu Bankai? We have been working at it on and off for the past 2 years or so. I was just surprised to see the post. I didn't think anyone did it anymore.

I will print out the instructions and bing it to class and see how different it is from the one we have been doing.

Thanks,
Jim
