SHOTOKAN KARATE EXPERTS READ THIS PLEASE?

Kata and Bunkai are very useful. However i believe that its also important to take common real life situations and try and simulate this in the dojo. Bunkai is still applied but with a bit more realism from a resisting opponent. Example: someone is asking you for a cigarette (distracting you) whilst his friend comes in from the side and tries to king hit you. This is a situation that actually happened outside the dojo. We replicated it inside the dojo and drilled what we would have done. We also do this with some other situations that we have either seen in real life/have had done to us/have come up with. Maybe politely suggest this to your Sensei?
