future_black_belt Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Can someone tell me some of the stances used? We were doing stances last night and I kept slipping in and out of forward stance and back stance. I just want to know some that are used. Those whose strength is not enough give up half way. You are now limiting yourself.-Confucius
lordtariel Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I practice shito-ryu so my pinan might be slightly different than yours. In pinan sandan(3) you come across cat stance, back stance, square stance, and forward stance. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
mainedojo Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I study Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu.Pinan san dan or Pinan 3 uses mainly nekoashi-dachi (cat stance)Zenkutsu-dachi (forward stance) and Kosadashi-dach (no idea what it is in english:>)
Fish Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 In wado-ryu, Pinan Sandan uses mainly shomen neko ashi dachi (forward cat stance), shiko-dachi (sumo stance) and zenkutsi-dachi (forward stance). "They can because they think they can." - School Motto.(Shodan 11th Oct 08)
P.A.L Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 shorin ryu shorinkan:cat stance, short forward stance in spear hand trust,sumo stance.

lordtariel Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 It's interesting to see the differences across styles. Does anyone know which was the first style to use the pinans? There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Does anyone know which was the first style to use the pinans?Not for sure, but guessing...maybe Okinawan Te?

RealWingChunKuen Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 kinOIt's interesting to see the differences across styles. Does anyone know which was the first style to use the pinans?I believe that the first karate style to use the Pinans (Heians, in japanese) was the Shorin-Ryu style of Okinawan karate. The legendary Okinwan karate master Anko Itosu seems to have had a hand in the development of this series of kata. Fighting arts that were not effective for fighting and selfdefense, never lasted long enough in martial arts history, to gain the Traditional Martial Arts - TMA - status.
