French Bunkai video footage

Watch this space. Initially on Youtube I found a number of excellent and professionally put together video clips by a number of French instructors. (I have listed their names and their home page below)

The Shotokan kata videos available are: (Wado Ryu equivalent name in brackets)

Niju Shi Ho (Ni Sei Shi)
Enpi (Wanshu)
Tekki Shodan (Nai Hanchi)
Kanku Dai (Ku Shan Ku)
Bassai Dai (Passai)

The video clips are not only an excellent way to learn the kata but include karate analysis and a street defence application. (Double Bunkai) In many cases they give more than one application for a given combination of movements. To the named individuals below, 'well done guys.' When are the next video clips coming out? I for one will be waiting.
