I first saw Kesh's exploration of Jion kata as part of his preparations for his British Combat Association grading. I was very impressed! It's not just the pragmatic applications of the motions that impressed me, but that way in which Kesh saw them integrating and supporting one another in the chaotic world of live conflict. This is REAL bunkai. Not a simple collection of "tricks", but a pragmatic and thorough explanation that shows how Jion is a coherent combative system. Kesh is fast establishing himself as one of the leaders in the field of kata bunkai and I'm delighted he has made this document widely available. It's great!
