Karate Kata Pinan One
Karate Kata Pinan One, also called Heian One, is one of the first Karate Forms to be taught to a beginner. It focuses on the front stance and back stance, training one to move quickly into and out of these stances. The applications are simple, yet workable. Further, they begin building chi power in the body.
Here is Pinan One.

COMING The First Karate Kata Pinan One Self Defense Technique. This is a rather interesting exposition on the real first technique presented by this form. People are always rather surprised when they see this one, as it is quite different from what people normally think Karate is. I will also give a couple of links concerning how and where I teach this form and technique.
