Ulf Karlson Sensei of Kishiomoto Di, a pragmatic proponent of Bunkai and the merits of diving deep into your chosen art. He travels to Okinawa regularly, speaks Japanese and teaches and trains whilst on Island. He hesitates to describe himself as a researcher but he has a deep hard won knowledge of the arts and an appreciation for the history and culture of the art. In Part 2 of 2 we continue our conversation with Ulf Sensei, we start with Josh giving some reflections of Ulf Sensei's unique approach to Kata and we get into some interesting places regarding Kata and indeed Karate in general. We are joined by Josh Simmers Sensei of the Okinawa Karate Podcast who very kindly agreed to co-host this discussion and he also organised the venue and times. Big thanks to James Pankiewicz Sensei for allowing the recording to be done at the world famous Asato Dojo!
