	Heian shodan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heian Shodan is the first in the series of five Heian katas.
		Like the other Heian kata, it is a product of Anko Itosu's effort to streamline several kata, namely the Pinan Series, 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 Shodan Kata
		Heian Shodan is the first of the five Heian, or "Peaceful Mind" katas.
		Heian Shodan is composed entirely of "basic" techniques; there is nothing "fancy" at all being done.
		For this reason, it could be said that Heian Shodan is one of the hardest kata to do correctly (of course, a case could be made that they are all pretty hard).

	The K-Zone: Kevin's Shotokan kata notes: heian shodan
		Heian shodan is one of the first kata that adult karate students learn, perhaps the very first.
		Most karate practitioners describe heian shodan as `easy' or `basic', but there is a great deal of difference between the way it is performed by a practitioner with ten years' experience, and someone doing it for the first time.
		Heian shodan has only four different moves, and the purpose of performing it is to demonstrate (or achieve) absolute proficiency in these basic moves.

		Click on Heian Shodan on the left hand side, scroll down a bit on the right and watch that little man do the kata.
		Some moves are meant to be performed as individual distinct moves, whereas others are "combinations" executed quickly one after the other, until you hit that natural "pause" in the kata.
		Speaking of "pauses", if you think about it, a lot of the kata, not just the Heian, but also Bassai, Kanku, Empi, etc, have a "flow" to them, where single moves or combinations "fit" together to help provide that illusion of combat against imaginary opponent(s), which is what Kata are.
