bushido_man96 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 im in the same boat as bushido, as for the where do you learn them. I learned all of my katas (that were advanced for my belt) from the other black belt at the club (my friend ) he decided that i could understand the next up kata, and execute it with a decent level of skill so he taught it to me.I see. The instructor at our school makes it clear that none of the black belts are to teach any forms higher than the student's current rank. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Ok, so the angles aren't great but here you go: Pinan Yodan Pinan ShodanWell, that is tough. I think I like Pinan Yodan better. I would go with that one. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Tom OBrien Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Pinan Yodan & Heian Yondan are almost identical. I learned the Shotokan version of Heian Yondan also at an early level and I have always loved it. The way it starts slowly going to both sides and then you explode into that gedan barai and shin punch with a kiai gets everyone's attention. When you do empi you make a loud slap against your hand to show the power of that forearm smash. Do morote riken uchi (augmentaed backfist) with a loud kiai, we jump really high and come down hard and when you turn show some tension. Push those arms that are trying to surround you, out and open your opponent up for a triple barreled blast, mei geri and oi zuki/gyaku zuki super fast and hard. We also kiai on the knee lift (hittsui geri) and slap the top of the knee when you smash upward. Man I love this kata.Thanks,Sensei Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryDelldo Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I like them both. I just started learning Heian Yondon yesterday and I love the way it feels. I mean it makes my legs burn and my arms also, yet I'm still able to perform it some what descent. It is my favorite so far. ~Angry~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordtariel Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Well, I decided to go with Pinan Shodan for the tournament today. Managed 3rd with it. A lot of the people who watched me said it was a stronger kata for me than yodan, so I guess that's the one I'll go with for reigonals.

jaymac Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Your Pinan Shodan is the same as our Heian Nidan in Shotokan. I really do enjoy that kata and if it is your strongest, you should stick with it. I did perform Heian Yondan (pinan Yondan) for tournament at 5th kyu and took first with it. Both are good. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
