The Heian/Pinan Kata - A "further" consideration
|
Christian Puch Sensei from Potsdam has written in 2019 a paper in German language about the Pinan Kata with the title "Die Heian - Eine "weitere" Betrachtung".
On 158 pages he has presented his accumulated knowledge about these kata. In the book there is also a very interesting and great comparison of the techniques of the Bubishi to the techniques of the Pinan Kata. I thank Christian Puch Sensei for making his research available free of charge to all who are interested. To open and download the file click on the image. |
Over the past few years I have done some very informative interviews with martial arts experts from a great variety of disciplines. Over the next few months I would like to share one or two interviews with like-minded people.

Interview with Patrick McCarthy HanshiAs part of the Shudokan Masterclass, I had the great pleasure and honor of doing an interview with McCarthy Hanshi. I limit the introduction to a few words: innovator, discoverer, inventor, a karate legend and a great role model for me.
In the interview McCarthy Hanshi talks about tradition, secrets in the martial arts and much more. Relax and take your time for the interview. |
Interview With Horst Kalcher SenseiIn 2021 I did an interview with Horst Kalcher Sensei. Kalcher Sensei knows what he is talking about. He is a studied Japanologist. Has been to Japan in the 1990's to report about the K1 tournaments. He has trained Kyokushin Karate, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, BJJ and the Filipino martial arts. He knows the martial arts and he also knows the athletic aspect of the arts. His answers in the interview should inspire every karateka to step out of our comfort zone.
