There are actually 11 traditional versions of Bassai. Like Kanku-dai, it uses (or is the source of) many of the techniques shown in the Heian kata. We show four versions of Bassai but, more importantly, we spend the lion's share of the video on oyo (application): hidden throws, takedowns, and especially arm locks.
