	Heian godan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heian Godan is the fifth in the series of five Heian katas.
		Like the other Heian kata, it is a product of Ankoh Itosu's effort to streamline several kata, into forms suitable for teaching the gross body movement skills of karate to school age kids.
		The Heian kata were introduced into the school systems on Okinawa in the early 1900's, and were subsequently adopted by many teachers and schools.

		Heian Kata, composed by Sensei Ankoh Itosu in 1905, consists of five katas - from Heian Shodan, Heian Nidan, Heian Sandan, Heian Yondan to Heian Godan.
		Nowadays, Heian katas are commonly practiced among students of white-belts, yellow-belts and green-belts, as these katas are ideal for beginners to understand the practice and notion of "Form" in Karatedo.
		There is one common point shared among the five Heian katas: all start by opening to the left in Nekoashi Dachi as defence, then followed by other different displays of techniques.

		Heian godan is the last of the basic heian kata; it combines many of the moves from the previous four heian, and adds a few interesting wrinkles of its own.
		Godan is more technically and anatomically demanding that the other heian, but not outrageously more.

		The Heian Kata was created in the year 1905 by Itosu, in order to enable the introduction of Karate at the okinawanean schools and to facilitate the entrance into Karate.

		The name Heian consists of the syllables Hei (from Heiwa) and An (from Antei), whereby one can be translated by peace and silence thus the names are nearly similar.

		Himself a student of the legendary Sokon Matsumura, Itosu was the great formulator and developer of Kata, and according to Funokoshi it was from master Itosu that he learned the Heian and three Tekki Kata amongst others.
		The techniques contained are not vastly more difficult than those already mastered in the Heian Kata, but implying the concept of strength and will strong enough to storm a fortress, this Kata exemplifies the idea of changing disadvantage - an initial attack - into advantage by strong and courageous response.
		Although a Kata containing many vigorous elements, it is from the Shorin-Ryu, and therefore the feeling of the Kata should be of precise, fast execution of technique, with due attention given to the appropriate balance between speed and power.

		Shotokan stylists favour the Japanese pronunciation of 'Heian.' The reason for this is that Gichin Funakoshi gave all the katas practised within Shotokan Japanese names.
		This means that Shotokan's 'Heian Shodan' is called "Pinan Nidan" in the remaining styles and vice-versa.
