Lesson Reminders-Pinan Shodan Kata Notes

Notes

Pinan Shodan taught as the second kata introduces the concept of twisting the body in the opposite direction to the technique.This is evident in the first move where a left sotouke is performed as the body twists slightly to the right.

When any direction is changed the student should always look first!

Combinations

Try to practice the moves in combinations as follows:-
3,3,1(feels like a 3),1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3,3,1,2,2
