WHO CAN JOIN?

TairaBunkai.com is available to anybody who is truly passionate about their pursuit of perfection in Goju Ryu and martial arts in general. Taira Sensei has spent nearly 40 years of his life at the Jundokan dojo in Okinawa researching and developing this bunkai. It is not being given up lightly. Nor is this site designed to dump everything you could possibly need on you all at once. Goju Ryu Karate Bunkai is not an easy thing to learn. It takes time and while it is human nature to want to run many of us are still learning to crawl in a bunkai sense. For this reason this site follows a schedule and while new video content is released every week do not expect to see 1000's of videos ranging from Gekisai 1 through to Suparinpei all at once. Taira Sensei's goal of developing this site is to learn from you through your questions and discussions. This lets him further research, refine, and improve his technique. In order for members to be able to discuss bunkai in a manner that will be useful to everyone on the site, they must actually learn and repetitively practice what is introduced on the site. Obviously starting out with 1000's of videos covering every aspect of Goju Ryu Bunkai just leads to brain overload and you end up learning nothing. Or worse still you learn higher level techinque without the base to support it. This means two things, one, you will not be able to use the technique effectively i.e. generating the power needed for the technique to be useful, and two, without a base to build on you severly limit your ability to research and develop on your own. Please bear in mind that Taira Sensei has been working on this virtually everyday for nearly 40 years. It won't come easy. Those looking for a quick flashy gimick to show off to their friends should think twice about joining this site. It will take dedication to learn this bunkai. Anyone who thinks they are up to the task are weclome to join.
