Bunkai Empi in Action! Basic Combination: Gedan Barai, Age Tsuki, Kami Tsukami, Otoshi Tsuki & Ushiro Gedan Barai for Knife Defense, Weapon Disarm and Atemi. The name Wanshū (腕秀) in Mandarin means “Excellent Wrist“ and refers to a typical technique of this form. This name is especially true for the basic combination of kata, where successive movements of the forearms down (Gedan Barai) and up (Age Tsuki) provide a unique opportunity is fast and safe for you to push up the hand of the enemy with arms. Following combination involves the simultaneous movement of the forearms down (Otoshi Tsuki) and up to the side (Nagashi Uke), which allows to perform unexpectedly armbar of enemy forearm with weapons and disarm him. Wanshū, while still bearing this name in certain karate styles, was renamed Empi by Gichin Funakoshi for use in Shotokan. Empi which translates to mean ’The Flying Swallow’ (’Em’ meaning flying and ’Pi’ meaning swallow). Gichin Funakoshi felt the up and down swooping movements were a close resemblance to the swooping flight of a swallow. These movements are also seen in basic combination of kata.
