KYOSHI ANTHONY FERGUSON 8TH DEGREE BLACK BELT SHORIN RYU KARATE & STUDENTS PERFORM PINAN SHODAN KATA

PINAN SHODAN - OKINAWA SHORIN RYU KARATE - KYOSHI FERGUSON & ORANGE BELT STUDENTS PERFORM KATA.
Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu Karate stresses that combat is “a defensive art from the beginning to the end.”
The components of this art are not merely techniques of self-defense, but are means to develop the individual mentally and physically.
The Pinans are taught to various beginner ranks according to their difficulty. The kata are all loosely based on an I-shaped embusen or shape. These kata serve as the foundation to many of the advanced kata within Karate, as many of the techniques contained in these kata are contained in the higher grade katas as well, especially Kusanku. The versions of Pinan that are widely practiced today have originated from the great master Anko Itosu (1831-1915).

It is indeed a book that every martial artist should have described the journey from white belt to master black belt.
