Some of you are already familiar with the work of Iain Abernethy. For those of you who are not familiar with him or his work, here is a short bio from his website.
Iain Abernethy is one of the UK's leading exponents of applied karate and kata application (bunkai). His martial arts DVDs and books have sold worldwide and have been translated into other languages. Iain holds a 5th Dan with both the British Combat Association (awarded by Peter Consterdine 8th Dan and Geoff Thompson 6th Dan) and the EKGB (awarded by Doug James 7th Dan).
Jissen 4 Iain's free online magazine, has been released. In addition his new site is up and running.
I contributed to this issue as well as the last. The illustrations in this issue are applications from Bassai. The images are from "Oldman's Boobishi" the digital collection of drawings that are a humorous record of what I have found as I have explored Kata / Forms over the years I have been training. I hope people will enjoy my contribution to his magazine. This is what Iain said about my site...
"These cartoons are absolutely great! Superbly funny and educational too! Many thanks for sending them across. It's a great blog you've put together and all serious martial artists (and silly ones too for that matter!)should have it as one of their internet favourites!"
The first 3 issues of "Jissen" are available in Iain's website. If you are interested in receiving Issue #4 it is now available for download at...
