PinanShodan

Mr Jones

Kata: Pinan Shodan

This kata was called Heian Nidan by Funakoshi Sensei and was introduced in 1907 by Anko Itosu, Shuri-Te style. This kata introduces kicking techniques, as well as open-handed blocking techniques. Its theme is based on techniques used in free-style sparring.

Note: Because of its overwhelming use in Wado techniques, if only one hand is mentioned, the other hand is performing a back hikite. Also, unless otherwise mentioned, all jun-tsukis are at the chudan (solar plexus) level.
