Kata
Kata is a prearranged series of techniques involving attack
and defense; it is used as a learning method and often
considered a living text book or an encyclopedia of fighting
techniques. The kata contains all the fundamental
information of a system that is in turn used to perfect
technique and understanding of a particular ryu (style).
Below is a list of
standard kata that every student of Shorinryu Karate School
will eventually learn:
|
The Pinan Kata:
Pinan Shodan
Pinan Nidan
Pinan Sandan
Pinan Yondan
Pinan Godan
