KYOSHI FRANK WEBER - 8TH DAN
In the west we tend to use the word "bunkai" as a term for kata
applications. This is actually an incorrect usage of the Japanese
word. Literally translated the term bunkai actually
means analysis of a subject by detailed dissection
or disassembly of the whole. In practice, when we suggest
possible applications of the techniques, we are
actually discussing "oyo" or possible examples.
The term "bunkai" would then suggest
that we are taking a Kata apart , analyzing
the movements and then attempting
to discover all the possible applications.
This attitude is important when practicing
Kata bunkai: there is never just one possible
application, just numerous applications of
which some are most likely best.
