Pinan Shodan: This Kata introduces the practitioner to Gyakuzuki. However, a more important, and very often overlooked principle, are the concepts of ‘contradicting forces’ of the striking/blocking movements. These principles are apparent in our Kihon-Gumite where the body shifts one way and the contradicting energy is used in the technique.
