I will say that I kno...It takes time and practice.<br /><br />I will say that I know how you feel. As a kyu rank, bunkai was a mystery to me. I did not see it. I hate to admit this but for my Shodan test, I memorized the base level bunkai to all the required kata. I did not want to be caught off guard.<br /><br />Now I enjoy working on bunkai and the process of discovery. I can see the applications in the kata. I do not think I have a natural "bunkai brain" but the mist has cleared for me.<br /><br />After reading this post, it sounds like you know a lot more about the process than you give yourself credit. Good luck.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.com
