Bunkai question

[Nidan Melbourne]

every single person has a different bunkai to each kata. But in relation to the dojo each is different and how they are supposed to be done.

I know my bunkai for some kata at my dojo is different to the goju school around the block.

But a persons kyogi (basically it is your own bunkai for each technique in a kata) is your own

Doesn't the fact that you have "your" bunkai (as opposed to the goju's school round the block) - make what you do a set piece?

Thanks for the info, and I'm going to check out that "The Way of Kata" book. At this point, as a white belt, I know about zilch. That being said, what I did pick up on pretty quick in class was that my time spent blocking leads to their time relentlessly hitting. I just needed a place to start understanding why that is, and how I can better apply what I'm learning.
