The Fight For Honor

Lessons from the Best Teacher

Luring-iming prize money total Rp. 50,000,000,- can make some people dark-eyed so that they go through ways that are not commendable. Similarly, in the world of karateka that should uphold sportsmanship. Entering the final round of elimination some ambitious colleges can qualify for the semifinals. Unfortunately there are those who take the inappropriate way for a sports athlete especially

karate!

Karate is a sport, and for that reason some of the most dangerous techniques are prohibited and all techniques must be controlled. Trained contestants are able to receive relatively strong blows on muscular areas such as the abdomen, but the reality is still the head, face, neck, ************ and joints are very susceptible to injury. Any technique, which

resulting in injury, may be sanctioned unless caused by

the receiver itself. The contestant must perform all techniques with good control and form, because if not, then any technique that is abused will get a warning or punishment. And the problem arises when there are parties who pretend to be injured in order to get value by cheating like this.

The clock on the wall shows at 9 over 15 minutes. This time all the teams that managed to continue to qualify for the next round now have to fight for tickets to the semifinals and of course the competition is getting fiercer.

In the final round of the Group stage, Gungun faced Lintar from Boksikata whose team is indicated to start doing a lot of behavior pretending to be injured in crucial rounds like this. But so far in several meetings, they are able to hide neatly.

Sink has warned the contestants to increase their vigilance.

"Be careful with the Boksikata team, in some other tournaments they cheated," Kang Budi told his entire contest before the match began. "They get away with some categories but in some underhanded ways!" Warnings were given mainly to the students of the kumite class.

By the time Gungun went down the ring, Kang Budi and Kang Ripay were not in the arena and were in another arena.

But before leaving, Kang Budi said, "Don't think you should qualify for the semifinals, but play your best match!" All the contestants were aware of this instruction.

Surely what was conveyed by his Sink, Lintar from Boksikata who was relegated in 3rd place and became Gungun's opponent seemed clearly to be unfair. Several times he was out of the match area when chased. He avoids direct contact

and move continuously while aiming to attack when there is an opportunity. And finally happened what was not expected by Gungun!

When Gungun kicks straight forward, the opponent is seen by him acting in self-harm by deliberately opening himself up to injury. Lintar slightly bent both knees and his body slightly leaned back.

The position as Lintar pointed out was definitely not a combat-ready horse. But Lintar himself took Gungun's kick with both hands. The referee saw things

this is a position that should not be attacked.

But late! Lintar had already gripped Gungun's feet with both hands for a reason

dropping Gungun. It is clear that Gungun's kick was too heavy so it hit the heart and caused him to lunge until difficulty to wake up immediately. So the referee acted quickly and said, "Yame!" [1]

Gungun knew the trick so that at seconds the opponent looked not evasive he had drawn strength on his right leg. But opponents have pretended to be injured and exaggerated the injury when Gungun's toe pushed against his abdomen.

His actions are subtle and to the unwary eye he fails to protect himself and unfortunately, this escapes the attention of the Referee who does not anticipate one of the contestants to cheat.

Furthermore, Lintar overreacted to the light contact earlier, in an attempt to get the referee to punish the opponent. When Lintar fell and could not stand firmly on both legs within 10 seconds, the referee stopped the match and contacted the doctor for the incident of the collapse of one of the contestants to get an examination. Then the doctor is asked to examine the contestant before the match can be resumed

or didn't?

Wakeup ... Wakeup ... Wakeup ...!

Opponent ... Opponent ... Opponent ...!

The spectators in the stands cheered in encouragement to Lintar.

It turned out that Lintar was not supported by evidence of injuries reported by doctors so Lintar was asked to continue the match. But at the same time, the referee immediately issued a serious violation warning in the form of Keikoku [2] to Gungun.

Rebellion rumbled cheers and all sorts of ports were sounded welcoming the punishment.

Any technique that results in injury, can be sanctioned and that is what the Referee saw so as to immediately impose punishment on Gungun.

to the offenders has been given my keikoku and Gungun's potential to win has been seriously reduced

after the referee has discussed with the Jury. Of course this decision ignites

gungun's emotions have been harmed. Gungun's face turned red and He was exasperated!

But Gungun did not have time to complain because a few seconds later he was asked to face his opponent again.

And at that second I saw the presence of Kang Darma in the official line. Gungun sees Kang Darma signal to him to accept the decision the Referee handed down for him. And once again Gungun saw another gesture from Kang Darma who put both hands next to his eyes and then moved towards the front.

"Hm, right said Kang Darma I should focus and forget about that, thought Gungun. Then Gungun instilled in his heart that he must be more careful to face opponents who cheat.

I cannot repeat the same mistake so as not to run aground again in this round, said Gungun. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to restore

its concentration.

This time after Lintar managed to be self-harm by deliberately opening himself up to be injured by the opponent, in this second half he changed his strategy. Now Lintar is passive and does not try to get involved in a fight. It

avoid direct contact to prevent opponents from getting a chance to score.

Even this time Lintar does not hesitate to embrace, wrestle, push or fight against the chest without trying to launch valuable techniques or do dings.

The only fall that can be done with both hands in karate is when catching the feet of an opponent who is kicking. The pivot point should not be above the throwing belt

and the opponent must remain in the hand, so that a safe landing can be made. He hopes Gungun makes another mistake in a struggle like this by doing a dings.

A pillow over the shoulder like seoi nage, said guruma and others, and a slam with a drop

self like tomoe nage, sumi gaeshi and others, is strictly prohibited.

It is also forbidden to smother an opponent below the waist and lift then knock the opponent down, or bend down to pull the legs from below them.

If a contestant is injured as a result of a throwing technique, the jury will decide whether the punishment is necessary

dropped on contestants who perform dings. Lintar hopes Gungun does that and even though Gungun is annoyed with the attitude of such opponents he keeps restraint while anticipating looking for a chance to get a clean score.

Contestants can snatch an opponent or karate with 1 hand for the purpose of dropping or directly launching priceless techniques - but not by constantly holding on to the opponent. Holding with 1 hand is done when going to

launch priceless techniques or dings, or to withstand the fall of an opponent. Holding with both hands is only allowed

when reaching for the legs of the opponent's kick with the intention of dropping it. This is the consideration of the referee so as not to rush to take action to separate the two fighters and see what will be done next by them?

The two fighters who close each other's bodies are above the red line, then Gungun pulls his body. It was at that moment that Lintar made an attack! And this is what

he saw it as his chance!

"Yesame..." Lintar shouted with all his might to release the kiai and convince the jury that his punch entered in the chest of Gungun.

Instantly Lintar immediately turned away as if he had succeeded with his attack. The purpose he spun was to draw the Referee's attention to his technique. Actually Lintar has launched a technique that generates value and then exits the match area before the Referee chants "Yame", then he should be given a value because it is still in the line of the arena. And that is what Lintar believes.

Hooray ...! The team and the

his supporters soared with excitement and were confident the referee would reward his champion with value.

Huuu...! Meanwhile, boisterous reproach was thrown by the BKC camp to see the action of the opponent's charade.

At the same time Gungun actually anticipated, and he had stood outside the arena so that Lintar's efforts to get real value failed even this thing became Jogai! [3]

When Lintar attacked and was hit, the referee had seen both contestants had been outside the arena. The referee himself saw the grand jury have thrown out a blue flag in front. This allows the Referee to clearly see which contestant is the offender!

Hooray ...! Audience cheers

in his seat simultaneously stood welcoming this group champion and some

the trumpet is blown with the sound of the harbor being heard blaring inside the building!

When the Referee returns to his position, the Juries present their opinions through a gesture of value to be given. The referee identifies the AKA contestant and is then assigned a score. Then the AKA value [4] is given and AO [5]

got Hansoku Chui's warning [6] for his work. At the same time the jury had hit the second half's bell was over.

The audience in the stands stood back from their seats and excitedly welcomed the acquisition of the figures Gungun received. The sound of trumpets and ports sounded

again with harder!

It seems clear Lintar was disappointed his strategy did not give results like he did in the first round. But what can make him have to subdue his body and accept

the punishment the referee handed to him. Now both contestants have the same score. Lintar's potential to win becomes reduced due to mistakes he did himself. Seeing that result was a crowd of cheers blaring from the BKC stronghold and vice versa the opposing camp fell silent. The referee ordered the two contestants to restart the match. The referee has to make sure to come back 

that the two contestants were on their respective safe lines and with a calm demeanor.

The referee needs to do that because he sees Lintar jumping up and down, fidgeting and showing an unsettled attitude and of course the referee has to calm him down before the game can start again. But Lintar was not immediately silent even though the Referee had to restart the match with the shortest possible delay.

From now on Lintar must not commit violations, otherwise he can be disqualified. This time the two contestants had the same score. Meanwhile, Gungun was happy to be able to

be relented and earlier can accept the decision of the referee so that the Referee is now more observant of Lintar who plays manipulatively.

The fruit of succumbing now has Gungun taste its sweetness. Mistakes he made in the tournament

it was repeated before but he was able to take lessons and he already knew what to do so as not to make the same mistake. He should not be careless and recklessly pursue opponents who retreat or are tricked by an effort to avoid just a tactic to reach numbers.

The referee then resumed the match by shouting "Tsuzukete Hajime!" [6].

The two contestants came forward and chased each other back. And now Gungun can play a little without burden but still try his best. But the opposite happens to Lintar who must be pushed by the Referee to play straightforward and fair by not stalling.

At that time Gungun presses continuously and closes the opponent's movement to be willing to make a direct attack. When Gungun launched an attack, Lintar

move backwards or dodge. While time continues

walk on!

But until so far at the time of entering the rest of the time, either Gungun or Lintar despite having traded attacks but nothing has borne value. Lintar itself has felt the gelagat this round will end in a draw so that

the right opportunity he launched a straight forward punch! However

gungun bravely greeted and he dodged that right-handed straight punch.

At the same time and within close range Gungun had unleashed a right fist punch that was precisely lodged in the heart of the opponent, Buk!

"Goddessa ...!"

Kiai who released Gungun. While Lintar slipped down due to lost balance. His forward motion was cut off as a result of being greeted by Gungun.

"Yuko!" [7] Shouted the referee while sticking his right hand forward. A moment later the value was given to Gungun who had decisively entered the attack with

good form and sportsmanship. In addition, the full application criteria

the spirit with full awareness, especially at the right time and the right distance has made the referee instantaneously provide value.

Teng, yong! At that time also with the sound of a bell being hit which gave a sign of the time the match had been

it's over!

Time is up! Despite the difference of 1 point contestants stated

as the winner has been shown enough by the Referee by raising Gungun's hand and stating, "Aka No Kachi!" [8]. The match ends at otu's time as well and Gungun is declared the winner!

Meanwhile in the stands the spectators jumped to their feet and cheered and low boisterous giving praise to the new Winner! Hooray ... Hooray ... Hurrah!

Teet, teet, teet ...! The sound of trumpets being blown.

Dug, dug, dug ...! The harbour was beaten by spectators around the stands.

At that time the referee ordered the two contestants to stand on their respective safe lines and gave instructions to pay their respects to each other. Then Gungun saluted the opponent who had stood back up. Then it was

continue to pay respect to the referee. After that the referee left the arena. Freddie Mercury sang 'We are the champions'

....

....

We are the champions, my friends

And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Because we are the champions

Of the world

....

Next Gungun turned around and he wanted to vent his excitement to get through to the semifinals. But Gungun remembered to give thanks and rushed down his knees and made a prostration of gratitude.

Gungun spoke only a few times Hamdalah and when he woke up, his fellow tribesmen waited and stood around him. Seeing Gungun had finished praying, they simultaneously shouldered Gungun's body and then in the arak out of the field.

"Hore, hooray, hooray ...." The cheers of the friends from his camp greeted the pageantry and vented excitement as if their hero had already won this tournament!

Gungun himself finally dissolved in a low-key atmosphere inside the building.

Pasaaaa...!

On top of the guidance of friends, Gungun shouted with all his might while brandishing both his fists into the air.

He has learned the lesson of experience and now he has released all the burdens he endured. And now he has been relieved ....

Then when in front of the sink Gungun lowered and Kang Budi greeted Gungun while congratulating him. Their faces all rejoiced in welcoming this victory. And at that time Gungun was told, Rahmat and Yanto also qualified for the semifinals. Glowed joy on Gungun's face increasingly

hearing that news more!

At that time Gungun also saw Kang Darma, then he slightly bowed his body and paid tribute to Shihannya. Kang Darma nodded with a smile and

giving thumbs up for Gunggun.

Then Gungun looked towards the scoreboard looking for the women's individual word table and looking for Oy Melani's name on the scoreboard.

From the scoreboard on the word match arena, Gungun still sees the match said the individual

the princess is over and the jury is counting the numbers of her contestants. And

melani's name is on the top three list.

Gungun saw from judges 1 to 7 had turned on the number lights for the top three contestants. There are two tables on the scoreboard for technical performance and athletic performance criteria. The numbers were added by each of the judges to place the highest score with a score of 24.48 for the name Oy Melani.

"Yes!" Shouted Gungun while punching the air. He is very happy that Lani also advanced to the semifinals as he had expected!

It was then that the Mountain saw Lani from a distance. He stood on the edge of the field and left his waist. Lani herself was throwing a smile at him. Gungun doesn't know whether to return Lani's smile or not?

But at that time Lani's hand pointed to a scoreboard containing the names of the contestants

get to the semifinals. Gungun became smiling and when he saw Lani clenching her fists as a gesture of congratulations to him, Gungun's smile became wider. []

Gungun went to the locker room while carrying his backpack. At that place he waited for a while until there was an empty room.

After the match there was one empty day for the rest of the contestants who qualified for the semifinals. Before going home Gungun decided to take a shower first

the body feels fresher and not sticky by sweat. When finally

he gets a turn, rushes he into the bathroom.

Not long after, he went outside and put on his usual clothes. Karategui and belts he put

in the backpack. Arriving outside the dressing room Gungun feels fresher after showering and copy with clean clothes.

Some branches are still played to select other branches and the crowd each takes place

inside that building. At that time and among the passersby, Gungun

I saw Lani standing there waiting. Lani also looked like she had taken a shower and had

wearing ordinary clothes. Gungun doesn't know what to do, but Lani comes to see Gungun.

"We're through to the final!" Lani said with a smile and her eyes twinkled looking at Gungun. In Gungun's eyes Lani's smile is very sweet and melts his heart.

Gungun saw Lani wearing casual clothes and wearing a BKC jacket as well, the same as the one he was wearing. Only the jacket Lani wore was wrapped in a salty egg blue knitting vest and matched with her blue jeans. And the sneakers without the strap are blue anyway.

"We celebrate this victory!" lani. Gungun was surprised to hear Lani's invitation.

"really?" Ask Gungun. Lani nods and convinces Gungun. Finally Gungun pulled Lani's hand to take her away from the place.

When they passed the BKC group, Gungun took the time to meet Yanto and leave the backpack

to him. Then hurry these two lovebirds to go outside. But suddenly Gungun

delaying his steps while the Sink was on his way to see the two of them passing in front of him. Gungun felt guilty and became clumsy.

"Well, we want to play ...?" Lani Pinta. Kang Budi was still on his waist but now his lips were smiling and his chin was moving signalling the direction of the door to the outside.

Seeing that Lani did not wait twice, he rushed to drag Gungun's hand and took him away from the place. []
