Tomari-te Seminar: Introduction to Pinan - Pinan Yondan to Godan, Part 1

Tomari-Te Seminar
Michi Yamashiro
Okinawan Karate: Yondan to Godan
The 6th seminar by Sensei Michi Yamashiro has been adapted into video form, 
focusing on Pinan Yondan and Godan.
Pinan Yondan emphasizes creating hand speed and controlling space to prevent 
the opponent from advancing, while Pinan Godan incorporates the principles of 
"punch power development" and centrifugal force-based throwing techniques.
The power and weight-shifting skills developed through Naihanchi and Seisan are 
fully utilized in the intricate movements of Pinan. Indeed, every movement 
in the Pinan kata is designed as a takedown technique.
