Bruce Juchnik Videos

[KenpoPastor]

I'm not a part of Kosho Shorei. The art I do study is an ecclectic blend of many arts including the escaping arts of Kosho. For this reason I purchased a Bruce Juchnik tape on the Pinan Katas about a year ago. Unfortunately, I would have probably gotten alot more out of it if I was doing the Pinan Katas the way he showed them but my instructor teaches it differntly. Over the holidays I purchased a set of tapes by one of Juchnik's students, Mike Brown. That tape set was excellent and has rekindled my interest in Bruce Juchnik's teachings. I'm wondering which tapes from Hanshi Juchnik you would recommend to someone who is studying Kosho Shorei but not as a part of the SKSKI. I've also noticed some posts referring to DVDs by Juchnik - I have yet to see any. Does anyone know where to find these?

Thanks.

The kumite video would be relevant for most karate stylists. Styles with radically different movement, like Hsing I, would be more difficult to mesh with.

That's good because I just ordered the Kumite video yesterday.
I had a feeling about that one.
Thanks.

Blocking has always been my favorite. The magic series is always a good choice.

Kel,
I do find those titles interesting. In the series I bought by Mike Brown, he talks about good Kosho not using any blocks but rather escaping and striking. Does Hanshi's tape expound upon this concept? What is the magic series about? I thought Kosho Shorei has no mojo to it. LOL

creative blocking and skeletal freezing are two of my favourites. i dont think you can go wrong with any of hanshi's videos.

Kosho does perform blocking manuvers although the emphasis might be a little different than some styles. I like it because the ukes really take some abuse. As for the magic series it's just a title. Don't worry about any mojo.

Thanks Kel. So the blocking tape is an expansion on the concept highlighted by Shihan Brown. Blocks = Strikes as Strikes = Blocks.

I was just joking about the mojo but I am curious as to what the magic series is all about.

Sorry I should have explained in my last post.
The magic series is actually a series of eight tapes that were shot during black belt classes at hanshi's dojo. It's goes through understanding of posture, visual plane and distance in regards to martial movement. It is an excellent series for any martial artist.

Now that sounds like something interesting. How many tapes are in that series?

[Randy Strausbaugh]

Reading his post, I'd say... eight.
You might also consider the Keys series. Six in that one.

What kind of material is covered in the Keys series?

I got the kumite video yesterday and thought it was excellent. On the tape Juchnik talks about Kumite #2 was that tape ever mad?

Where do you guys get your kosho videos?

Where do you guys get your kosho videos?

You could check ebay under the user kicksinc. I like using ebay because of the protection they offer but that user also has a website where they offer Juchnik's videos www.unitedkosho.com
I'm not sure where else to get video from Juchnik.

But I would also highly recommend Mike Brown's series of tapes. You can but them direct from him. His website is www.rimartialarts.com

I'd be interested in finding other sources myself, especially if there is anything in DVD format.

I'm having difficulty with the www.unitedkosho.com page. I click on the picture to go to Juchnik's video and I don't get anything. Anybody read any of his texts? What do you think? Anyone have a site for kosho DVDs? Thanks.
