Hi Mike. Yes. From a technical standpoint I found that explaining
the bunkai for the kata to a student helped me to clarify my own
understanding. And since the vast majority of students had no notion
that we were not just training to beat somebody up made the whole
endeavor a creative challenge for me. In Japan, of course, the
average person has at least some understanding of martial arts
as a Do, or Way, rather than just a Jutsu, or technical method.
