DoctorQui Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Had a quick look at SR Pinan Shodan on You Tube.I see, like Wado, your shodan is actually Nidan and vice versa. I love Shodan (Nidan in Shotokan) its probably the first Kata I did (particularly when I was training in Wado) where I actually felt like I was doing Karate.Enjoy OSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a grading on Saturday for my 6th Kyu (Green Belt). Pinan shodan is the Kata for this grade. I could also be asked to perform pinan nidan and any two of the six ShioZuki that came in previous grades. I find the Pinan Kata to be the spirit of the Karate style, whatever school teaches it. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 My Kihon was better than standard, my mwashi geri was a bit overbalanced at times but my punches in front stance were sharp. My padwork was very tiring, I had to go out to center myself after my effort. Sensei was pushing me hard and then the Kata - I performed Pinan Sandan twice and Shiozuki Godan twice. My Pinan Shodan has been better, one of the examiners asked me to repeat a section of it again. They must have been pleased, I was awarded 6th Kyu and a green belt.
