MISSION

The natural process of life and death is not something that any of us can cheat. No matter who you are, or what you acheive throughout your life, eventually our lives end. We are ultimately remembered for what we have done. Too many times in the martial arts world great practitioners have emerged, stunned the world with their amazing ability and then taken their knowledge with them to the grave. So much has been lost, much of it forever simply because until now the medium to preserve these martial artisits knowledge has not been available. Masaji Taira Sensei has spent a lifetime researching and developing Goju Ryu Bunkai. What he has achieved is nothing short of phenomenal. The thought process, his approach to kata and bunkai, and the concepts he has developed now transcend the style borders. While Taira Sensei is a Goju Ryu practioner, his knowledge and the training methods he has developed are fully applicable to all martial arts. The mission of the site is to preserve this knowledge in a form that cannot be lost over time. Film, Video and DVD footage can and has been lost throughout history. The written word cannot give life to the dynamic nature of the martial arts. The only way to preserve the knowledge that Taira Sensei has is to share it, teach it, have others make it their own. That is the mission of TairaBunkai.com. What Taira Sensei does is simply too good to be lost.
