One Minute Bunkai: Seisan is a fundamental kata to most styles of Karate. In this lesson we cover the first move where you step after your second block. It really is very ingenious how this arm/lock takedown has been placed in this kata, but it is usually misunderstood. The fact the there is a pressing "Osae" movement while maintaing the block-hand position is the first clue that it is controlling your opponent--not another block (Ude Uke). The step forward provides leverage and allows you to employ various leg takedowns. This is one of the most effective moves in all of Karate and it is the beginning of Seisan, what a great start!
