Here's a FREE sample chapter from a recent publication by Lee Taylor - I've added it to the guest author section of the site:

This PDF on the Heian Shodan kata and bunkai is an extract from the book Heian / Pinan Kata & Bunkai - The Fundamentals.

In that book all 5 of the Heian / Pinan kata are examined in detail from the solo performance of each kata, to the two person bunkai sequences.
This PDF details the first kata of the Heian series, Heian Shodan (Pinan Nidan) showing in detail move by move of the solo performance of the kata and the bunkai applications that are carried out with a partner.

It is designed to give the reader an introduction into the Heian / Pinan kata and how applicable and a viable solution this series of kata can be in a civilian self defence scenario. It does not replace formal instruction in a class environment from a suitably qualified instructor.

It does however offer the learning karateka a point of reference for their personal training and development, hopefully spurring them on to find their own way opening up their kata training and revitalising their interest in bunkai as it did mine.

The complete book containing all 5 kata and bunkai sequences can be purchased from Lulu.com at the following link:
