BunkaiBunkai is a Japanese term used in Karate. It refers to the sense - the interpretation, of the moves in a kata. Bunkai is sometimes self-evident, sometimes elusive, depending on the technique in question, the one(s) preceding and following it, and the karateka, the practitioner of Karate. There are stages of depth of comprehension of bunkai only reached through the passage of time, the rewards of which are incalculable. Reference Roland Habersetzer, Shotokan Kata, ditions Amphora, October 1990, Paris, France. (ISBN 2851802105) The terms toridai (sp?)and himitsu are used to refer to techniques not readily seen to the casual observer and hidden techniques within kata. In Goju Ryu Karate two man kata training is used to reinforce bunkai and correct technique. If techniques in the kata are not performed correctly they will not be effective in two man training.
