@hammondb333 This is Pinan Shodan in the Shu Do Kan system. Shotokan may have it named Heian Nidan, as Funokoshi switched Shodan and nidan around years ago when he was teaching to children as he felt that the original Nidan (the one I have performed here) was easier for them to learn. ;) So you may have learned it (or one very similar) as Heian Nidan.
Which reminds me, Shu Do Kan was begun by Toyama, who trained under Itosu alongside Funokoshi for a short period. Toyama continued to train under Itosu long after Funokoshi left.
Also, this is the entire kata as taught to me many years ago. If you search pinan shodan and pinan nidan, you will find MANY versions which are very similar to this one. Some longer, some shorter. Remember, there is no ONE WAY.
Check on What Funokoshi did with Pinan Shodan and Pinan Nidan, then come back to me. Granted, Funokoshi is NOT the founder of Shu Do Kan, but IS the founder of Shoto Kan. Itosu seems to have kept things the way they started.
This is not Pinan Shodan. This is Pinan Nidan, and an incomplete sequence at that. I may be a few years out of practice, but I clearly remember at least that much. Please do not mislead our fellow Shudokan karateka.
Your cat stance is to far apart "1 fist between heel and toes". Stop picking up your feet. Your also bobbing up and down. Keep your head level while moving. Your shuto is too straight, bend your elbow more. If this is for "instructional purposes" as you say, you should do them as if Shihan Mak was watching you. I also trained with Sensei Isaias in 1992.
you're stances was very incorrect dude you can't be teacheing this on youtube, you're hands was in the wrong place a lot of the time aswell , no matter what competition i a in if i do pinan shodan i always win and seeing you perform that in that i won have no problems beating that
What style of Karate do you practice? That COULD be the difference you speak of. I have competed in more tournaments than I care to count. This is GENERALLY the way I have seen it performed. There are sometimes subtle differences though.
Also, I do not use this kata in competition. I usually use Unsu or Tomarre Bassai.
Nice, I'm starting to learn this Kata now back in Auburn, under Sensei Isaias, learning it for my Brown. Gives me a headstart and a heads up, Thanks Man.
No problem. These vids are for instructional purposes anyway, and not for performance purposes. Basicly, this is not the speed nor power that I practice them at.
In the kata's I have reviewed you need to keep your back and head straight up. You lean to much in your stances. In this kata you front kicks lack snap. I also noticed that your head position looks as if your looking out the corner of your eyes instead of looking straight ahead at the attacker.
Good things to look at. Thank you. Although, I don't see where you are talking about. Could you tell me at which point it looks as though I am leaning forward? Thanks. Please keep in mind that these are mainly here for my students to review for the basics.
this pinyan nidan or heian nidan

McDojos always want to show off the worthless trophies they give to their students.

@mrthebillman That dojo was closed about 2 years ago. And if you look at my latest video, you will see that I am FAR from a McDojo artist.

claws61821, I would suggest you check with Sensei Mack in Yakima Washington on whether or not this is Pinan Shodan. Also do a little research.

Also, in your forward stances, you need to lock your back leg and turn your back foot forward - your feet should form the base of a scalene triangle.

Cool John. I've trained under Sensei Isais for about 12-13 years now. Tell him that Sensei Tim from Florida says "hi".
I'm sure that you are learning a higher kata than Pinan Shodan for your Yon Kyu. ;)
