Workgroup by level are also used to study several other wide aspects like : Bunkaï, Sen No Sen, Go No Sen, Ju No Sen, Tanto, Nagashi etc ... without forgetting sportive competition (technical or fight) for those interested by it.
Karate-Do & Competition
Karaté-do is a martial art, maybe one of the most complete and efficient, altough the sport side of the competion could seem in contradiction, it clearly appears that if honestly taken for what it is, in fact a reduction of karate, competion can be often a vital means to ones progression.
An illustration might be : "How climbing to the second foor, if one do not want to go through the first one ? but always take attention to not stand there and to keep going forward ! - LTL"
The following sentence describes one of the major principle of martial arts in general and karate in particulary :
"When one do not do everything to be the first, to become or stay as such, one become not the second, but unavoidably fall the last - Maréchal Lyautey"
