Basic Kata of the Month:

Heian Shodan

“Peaceful and Safe #1” 平安初段 Heian Shodan is the first kata most Shotokan practitioners learn.  Featuring only 5 different arm techniques, 2 stances, and no kicks, it is an ideal form for beginners to learn basic movement and stance.  Each movement features the same-side hand and foot moving in unison. The kata is perfectly symmetrical except for its fourth move – the circular pull and strike.
