In today's episode we discuss the concepts of Embusen and Bunkai as they are practised in Karate kata. Embusen is less well-known than Bunkai and is considered to be the "new kid" on the block as a practice concept in kata. Many styles of karate as well as many clubs do not embrace the concept of Embusen but at the Canadian Dojo Podcast, we do and that's why we're talking about it. Bunkai is a far better known concept but is often sadly overlooked. If kata is the heart of Karate then Bunkai the heart of kata.
