About the Book
This book is aimed at all karatekas who want to really understand the Heian and Pinan katas beyond simply learning them. It is a valuable resource for students, instructors and masters alike - for students as a guide to where the journey can take them, and for advanced students as in-depth study material and inspiration for karate lessons.
The focus is on the Heian katas and the older Pinan katas. Often underestimated as simple forms of examination, they contain profound principles that are essential for self-defense. The focus of this book is on bunkai (kata application). Approximately 195 illustrations and 800 hand drawings illustrate the techniques and facilitate access to this fascinating aspect of karate. In addition, the book offers a historical insight and conveys valuable principles for didactics.
