Some Karate kata (set forms) come along in families. Bassai has a Major version (Dai) and a Minor version (Sho). In this book, John Burke, bunkai specialist, shows how this version reflects the principles of effective application shown in it's big brother version.
Normally reserved for Black Belt practitioners, the kata is revealed to contain strikes to anatomically vulnerable locations, throws, locks, and much more. You will see that this is not a "bo defence" kata, see how the "small" version of the kata is full of "big" ideas.
