The Fight For Honor
Love Location



Gungun walked with his feet when the school broke up. At 4pm the bell was rung and the students rushed out of the classroom to the door. But he did not go home immediately because this afternoon there is a karate training schedule in the hall. This hall became Dojo [1] also for karate training, Bandung Karate Club.


When he arrived at the door of the hall that leads to the outside of the school building he had met several people who were both BKC karateka or Bandung Karate Club. In his backpack he has put karategui and copy clothes.


The SMAN 4 Bandung Hall building is widely used by various sports. In addition to the basketball court located outside, in this hall is used badminton sports also containing four airy and on the floor has been painted red for the field lines badminton. Currently the poles and the net have been placed off the field for the karate training schedule.


In addition to BKC, there is White Pigeon Pencak Silat College and other branches of martial arts, which use this hall and already have their own schedules.


At that moment a pair of Gungun's eyes were looking for Lani, a first-class girl who had not been with him for a long time. He and Lani often meet in training so that his PDKT does not have much difficulty. First grader of school in the morning and he has seen Lani present with his friends.


And at the same time when Lani has seen Gungun's presence, a beautiful girl with bangs and hair tied in a ponytail comes to see her boyfriend.


"Later after training, come to my house, yes," asked Lani, "today's my birthday ..."


The girl in yellow and like a wuxia movie star made the news with a shy attitude.


"Oh .. congratulations yes," said Gungun blushed also because he did not know the birthday of his own girlfriend. Then he reached out and was greeted by Lani who was both awkward.


Not long after, Lani returned to meet her friends and Gungun himself changed his uniform with karategi in a small room located in the corner of the hall. Meanwhile, the belt worn by Lani is still the level of the blue Kyu III. [2]


Gungun first saw Lani while training in this dojo. He had fallen in love at first sight and turned out to be a tadpole. When he came home from training one day he ventured to ask the girl he was after.


"Where are you going?" Ask Gungun.


"To the house ..." Lani replied short. Hearing that Gungun scratched his own head that did not itch. Then think about asking what else to find a way to get to know more closely to the girl he has a heavy crush on. Luckily Gungun, Lani's friends gave him wind so that Lani was left alone.


"Can I take you home?" Gungun offered himself. Lani gave no answer but simply smiled at him. In Gungun's eyes Lani's smile was so sweet that he was sure Lani didn't mind. At that time Gungun also walked beside Lani who went across.


Gungun was already quite happy to know Lani did not refuse the company of his return. Although he does not know where Lani lives but he can guess his house is not far because it continues to walk and the Kebon Tangkil road is not the road traveled by angkot. Along the way no one dared to start opening the chat and each busy himself set his own heart that was not careless.


When he arrived at the end of this road and after going through the Vihara road, Lani opened a fence. But he himself did not say anything at all and just closed the gate again. But when he was about to turn around, the girl had looked at Gungun standing up and he rushed away from Gungun just like that. But this has made Gungun quite satisfied to be able to drive Lani despite seeing from the shape of the building that Lani entered was behind his house. Not long after Gungun continued the rest of the road that turned out to be Kelenteng road. Then he just turned left and walked a little already on the road General Sudirman.


On the other day when Gungun drove Lani home, she had an exciting conversation. That's how finally the training schedule 2 times a week is what becomes the second anniversary moment of this lovebirds. And later Gungun finally found out that his Papa Lani was the sink [3] in his own dojo.


They became a difficult couple to separate. While in training, Lani coincidentally was always near Gungun. If not on the side, sometimes in the back. And because the karate movement always advances a few steps and then turns the body, so that anywhere the direction of his view always meets Lani. Moreover, when Gungun gets the reality of Lani a word class specialist [4] single daughter, he hardly ever flashes when he sees Lani in action. As in practice as now. But of course when you are practicing you have to concentrate. If you are a little careless you can hit a kick or a straight forward punch from the person behind.


Shaa...!  Kiai [5] full of energy is always voiced at the end of each movement so that it adds to the spirit of practice. Finished with warm-up movements, the karateka who were preparing with the horses were asked to rest on the spot by the training leader, Kang Ripay.


Although BKC is a Karate martial arts college but many terms that use vocabulary in Indonesian and Sundanese. As the designation 'Sensei and Shihan' in BKC became 'Kang' or brother in Sundanese, and for the sensei women 'Teh or Teteh' only.


At this time Kang Ripay explained a counter technique [6] when he was at close range with the opponent. Then to be better understood, he pointed at Gungun who was asked to come forward and stand up against Kang Ripay.


Gungun is asked to perform a chudan zuki attack [7], then Kang Ripay moves to the side to dodge while putting his back and sticking to Gungun's body. Then Kang Ripay responded by doing a right hand to the opponent's eye. At the same time the left hand has held the right hand of the opponent. Then the next movement is the hand that had elbowed earlier moved the place to reach the opponent's neck through the armpit of Gungun's right arm.


But then Kang Ripay asked his opponent to repeat the attack. But if it was done with slow and broken movements this time asked in a fast movement. After Gungun's aba-aba perform a quick attack that ends he is slammed by Kang Ripay on a hard tile floor. But there is no need to worry, because the falling technique has become the standard mastery of a karateka.


When the fall was slammed, Gungun's free left hand had him stretched straight forward so that his head gently hit his own hand. While the right foot first touches the floor so that his body does not touch the floor at all. All of these standard techniques have been mastered by all karateka since they were just entered as members of the white belt. So no one had any injuries slammed in such a way!


After looking at the example, Gungun was asked to return to his original place. This time it was the turn of all the students to practice the technique and be asked to pair up. In karate practice there are no male or female restrictions, there are no restrictions on the color of the belt. And there was no choice as to who was his opponent. Therefore a karateka has been accustomed to being ready to face anyone's opponent.


Then after all getting their respective partners began to do slow movements with


from Kang Ripay. "Ready?" Ask Kan Ripay.


Osh! [8] They answered.


Finally, after repeating the technique, it was time to enter the kumite session. [9]


In this session each group is divided based on the color of the belt. Those who wear black belts already know how to assist the main Sensei who leads the training. Black tyre belt holders become referees for kumite Kyu-level belts.


In this session the movements and techniques that have been learned and


being trained is the time to be practiced in one-on-one combat. []
