Here's a video from my black belt test. We had to make up a kata using various elements from our style (Shuri-Ryu Karate). The form needed work, but I was pretty proud of the application (Bunkai).

The kata itself I can see why you were not totally happy with it but its got lots of potential keep working on it you will be happy with it after a little while. However the bunkai I agree I would be very happy with it as it was quite strong.

Awesome. Although I am not familiar with your style, I saw various aspects that are practiced in my style (Uechi-ryu). I particularly enjoyed the Bunkai.

Nice Job.

Actually a good looking form. The movements where crisp and clean and done with focus and power.

The breakdown of the form was done well.
Thanks for sharing this video with us

I've got to say, about 95% of kata videos I see I end up exiting after the first thirty seconds. Your techniques were solid and impressive, and I enjoyed seeing the bunkai. Good work.
