I personally think Abernethy is a bit of a tool for flogging the bunkai rubbish, but here is an article featuring my judo coach. Sophie is a great player and an even better coach, and I recommend anyone who gets the chance to train with her to do so! Enjoy www.iainabernethy.co.uk/news/judo-mma-tma-sophie-cox
You could have just called me a dumbass instead of making me Google that! Maybe I don't like bunkai because I don't know enough about it. Maybe not. I'm just pragmatist who prefers to spend his time learning how to throw a knockout punch, rib-breaking kick or concussion-inducing takedown than trying to justify kata. Each to their own.
