Bunkai surprise in a Pre-Grade

[CredoTe]

Uchi Uke, Tetsui Uchi, Oya Ude Kai.

Forearm Block, Hammer fist, Stepping Arm Smash.

The last technique threw the opponent off their feet; done at full speed the smash would have sent Sempai's head into the floor. The contact was made with a bent arm, similar to Mwashi Kote.

In some Shorin-Ryu based Karate's, Pinan Shodan and Pinan Nidan are switched in order. To clarify, our Pinan Shodan ends with symmetrical gedan uke in zenkutsu-dachi followed by jodan uke in shizentai-dachi (low-high-low-high). Our Nidan ends with four gedan shuto uke's in nekoashi-dachi....

But in any case, as much bunkai/oyo as we do, I still love it when one of my instructors blows my mind with something new and effective.

Our Pinan Nidan ends with the quadruple shuto uke in Kiba Dachi.

Our Pinan shodan which follows in the kata progression ends with the Gedan Barrai and Jodan Uke in Zenkustu Dachi.

I think we are following a similar pattern

Those are the same with us also.
