Book Synopsis Shotokan Kata 1: Heian Shodan in Daoist Eyes by : Adam Dobrzynski
Download or read book Shotokan Kata 1: Heian Shodan in Daoist Eyes written by Adam Dobrzynski and published by Adam's Shotokan Karate Books. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book contains grammatical mistakes, and for that I am deeply sorry. This is the first book in a series, which is intented to examine the links between Shotokan Karate and the three teachings - Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. The book deals with Heian Shodan (aka Pinan Shodan) and the rest of Heian katas. We can learn a lot from the Chinese origins of Karate. Daoism (Taoism) in particular has been forgotten in modern times, as a tool for understanding Karate and improving it. There are very practical conclusions that we can come to, using Daoism. In order to achieve that, we must develop a deep understanding of the Heian katas using Chinese philosophy. The book explains how Yin and Yang and the Five Elements (Wuxing) theories are connected to the Heians. We especially concentrate on the Wood Element, which is the element of Heian Shodan, and has profound implications on the kata. Topics from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are brought up, including the relations between the basic katas and the organs and meridians. Then we turn to Emotional Karate, and observe the psychological benefit, that one could derive from Karate. Karate can contribute to our mental well-being. And our state of mind, as proven, effects our body - including chronic pains. After understanding the distinguishing qualities of Heian Shodan, we can understand why it is a particularly good kata for releasing a repressed anger. As for other issues: Some techniques are presented, in order to improve the kata and our benefit from it. We also learn how other katas may recuperate Heian Shodan. A mathematical formula of the five Heians is suggested, with an application to Heian Shodan's movements. Other Shotokan katas are also mentioned - as well as specific Karate moves and stances. Finally, we warn about excessiveness, and explain how to prevent it. By the way, several interesting topics are discussed: the far and the relatively modern history of Karate and of other martial arts, our Karate ancestors and even Chinese and Japanese characters and words. In conclusion, although the book deals with Chines philosophy, it has many very applicable sides.

Book Synopsis Pinan Flow System: Heian - Pinan Shodan and Nidan by : John Titchen
Download or read book Pinan Flow System: Heian - Pinan Shodan and Nidan written by John Titchen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packed with information this book, the first in a four volume series, examines the first two Pinan / Heian kata. With practical application drills based on the study of the reactions of students to common forms of aggression and violence in high pressure scenario simulations, and years of research into violent crime, it contains a detailed analysis of the attributes that makes techniques effective, an exploration of the origins and purpose of the Pinan forms, and a discussion of some of the myths surrounding kata, their purpose and application. Each drill is clearly illustrated with photos and explanatory text. This book approaches the kata by looking at the common factors that unite effective combative approaches rather than focusing on minor stylistic differences, and as a result provides applications and training drills suitable for everyone, regardless of style or grade. The application drills initiate from movements that simulate the body's natural flinch responses to attacks or common fall back positions, and teach karateka how to close and create distance while moving freely between ballistic and grappling techniques incorporating close range striking, trapping, throwing, unbalancing and locking movements that mirror the forms. The Pinan Flow System refers to the ability to train karateka to flow seamlessly between ballistic and grappling responses using techniques and tactics embedded in the kata, and illustrates why the Pinan / Heian set, practiced by so many karateka, are an important and misunderstood part of the legacy of Okinawan karate to modern martial artists. Far from being simply kata for beginners, they reflect the distillation of the knowledge and tactics of the father of modern karate, and are an essential training tool and technical manual for beginner and black belt alike.
Book Synopsis Let The Kata Be Your Teacher by : Ronik Gupta
Download or read book Let The Kata Be Your Teacher written by Ronik Gupta and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Let the Kata Be Your Teacher" is an illustrated guide to the ancient karate forms Tang Soo Do and Goju-Ryu. Kata, which is the Japanese word for "form", is a series of moves that have been strung together in what would best be described as practical choreography, which is meant to be practiced alone, but can also be practiced within a group. Katas were originally created to show and demonstrate different fighting techniques. The first kata, created by Sensei Gichin Funakoshi (known as the father of modern-day karate) was intended to be an easy introduction to the kata and karate itself. Originally, it was with the first set of basic katas that Funakoshi was introduced. Though in modern Shotokan it is usually the only kata taught, though, in more recent years it has disappeared from many martial arts schools. There are many different variations of katas that stem from different martial arts styles. This book book describes and has detailed illustrations of 14 different katas from Tang Soo Do (Ki Cho, Pyung Ahn, and Passai (Bassai) styles), and the Goju-Ryu style.
