My relationship to these techniques are rather complicated. Back in the early 90's when I started training Goju Ryu my sensei got hooked on full contact fighting an we mostly just went "Cobra Kai" on each others. We did do a lot of sanchin kata and strength exercises but never any bunkai.

I left after 3 years and didn't look back until a year ago when I momentarily started training in another dojo under some of my sensei's old students. All of a sudden I was introduced to tensho kata and more importantly bunkai. I've spent the last 30 odd years feeling karate was just pummeling one another until you bled! It's been quite a journey.

I used to practice this uke behind the steering weel stuck in the traffic jams on the way to my Goju-ryu training... 😁I knew it from Kyokushinkai times but that helped me to make it properly compact.
