Tomari-te and Naihanch Part.5

Tomari-Te Seminar
Michi Yamashiro
Okinawan Karate: Pinan Shodan to Sandan

The fifth seminar by Sensei Michi Yamashiro, held in November 2013,
 has been captured on video, focusing on "Pinan Shodan to Sandan."
The Pinan kata includes fundamental techniques such as front kicks,
 punches, and upper and lower blocks. While basic, 
each technique can be highly dangerous. 
The kata also emphasizes strengthening the core through movements that stretch 
the limbs and solidify the trunk, making it an essential part of core training.
This seminar demonstrates how to adapt and apply techniques from Naihanchi's
weight shifting and Seisan's fighting strategies within 
the Pinan forms—enhancing the power and effectiveness of techniques!
