For the most part I agree with you. I feel that most kata is good to develop balance, movement, etc. I just don't feel a need to break it down step by step, and go on a lifelong quest to find the hidden meaning of every technique. With a lot of modern katas, sometimes there is no bunkai, or it's made up by whatever instructor is teaching it at the time.
And with some of the old katas you'll find bunkai that has no application to modern self defense. Things like a technique to defend against a warrior armed with a sword or spear. Or a flying kick made to knock a soldier off his horse.

agreed!

A clip that wasn't shown on Fight Quest. Here we have Doug being put thru the paces with GM Harper and some other Kaju instructors!

Wow man, that's some really good stuff. Reminds me of our Ju-Jitsu. Thanks for posting, I've never saw any of the self-defense techniques or new what it was.
