The Rivalry and Bunkai Practice

I've had a pretty good week starting from Sunday. On Sunday (2nd January) my Sensei was in a good mood. She anounced that she is going to take a test from all of us and then divide us into different groups and separate classes based on the results of the test. The test will include technique and fitness and the groups are as follows:

Group A - Championship
Group B - Advanced
Group C - Half-Advanced
Group D - Beginner (mostly white belts)
Group E - Those who practice Karate as a hobby or a simple exercise

I think it's an excellent idea. It has started a rivalry between us, making us train harder. We practiced Zenkutsu Dachi (front stance) and Kiba Dachi (horseback-riding stance) that day. My Dachis are usually terrible, but Sensei's good mood was contagious so I tried harder and was pretty good that day.

Tuesday (4th January) was even better. We practiced the applications of Shuto Uchi Uke, Gedan Barai and Jodan Age Uke. I love Bunkai and I thoroughly enjoyed the class.
