This is the
second Kata of the Pinan group.
Steps
 |
Begin the
Kata in Fudo Dachi. On the command "Yoi" move into the Yoi
stance. |
 |
On the
command "Hajime" move the left foot 90° to the left into Kokutsu
Dachi simultaneously the right fist is pulled back to the right
side in the ready punch position and the left fist is positioned
immediately on, and vertical to, the right fist. Without moving
the body raise the right arm into a position similar to Jodan
Uke (to the side of the head) and move the left arm across into
a Chudan Uchi Uke position (fist approximately at chin height).
Both these movements are to be executed simultaneously.
|
 |
Still in
the Kokutsu Dachi position strike right Tetsui Hizo Uchi
twisting the hips square. The left fist is simultaneously
brought back over the right shoulder so that the elbow is level
with the jaw (n.b. the left fist is approximately 3 cm above the
shoulder and the back of the fist faces upwards). Retaining the
same stance the right fist is turned 180° so that the knuckles
are directed straight in front as if to cover, the left fist is
brought back to the ready punch position.
|
 |
Move
through with the left leg into Kiba Dachi and looking to the
left punch left Jun Tsuki and pull the right fist into the ready
punch position. (It is essential to use the hip movement in Jun
Tsuki). |
 |
Pull the
right leg back into right Kokutsu Dachi at the same time turning
the body 180° simultaneously the left fist is pulled back to the
left side to the ready punch position and the right fist is
positioned immediately on, and vertical to, the left fist.
Without moving the body or its direction raise the left arm into
a position similar to Jodan Uke and move the right arm across
into a Chudan Uchi Uke position.

fists and move the left leg across at 45° to turn into left
Zenkutsu Dachi, simultaneously the left forearm is positioned at
45° in front of the head. In addition the right arm, fist
closed, is positioned behind the right leg, thumb facing
upwards. These latter movements are executed whilst the body is
turning into the position preparing for Zenkutsu Dachi. To
complete the turn the right hand moves quickly in a circular
bowling action (with the fist closed) over the shoulder at a 45°
angle (at this stage the left arm is in front of the body)
across the left thigh and then across the body with a right
Chudan Uchi Uke. As the right arm moves across the body the left
fist is pulled back into the left ready punch (n.b. all these
movements are executed quickly). Keeping the arms in this
position kick right Chudan Mae Geri so that the leg is just
inside the right arm (when executing the kick ensure that the
right arm does not drop from the blocking position).
