Bringing back memories! I was about 13 when I first started this(23 now.) I stopped at Brown belt with black stripe. Now before anyone calls me a quitter, I only stopped because I joined the dojo with minimal interest. My and my cousin decided to do it because we both were into Karate movies, and needed something to do in the summer. Of course once we started it was this whole life commitment to the Karate. We stayed for what I remember was 2-3 years. Years of competitions, practices, summer camps, beach trips, etc. One of the best years of my youth. I do not regret joining, nor quitting the dojo, but this really was a great experience. I'm gonna familiarize myself with these Katas that are in my memory somewhere, and just reconnect with a part of me that I have lost over time.

Pinan Ichi: 00:01 Pinan Ni: 1:12 Pinan San: 2:29 Pinan Yon: 3:37 Pinan Go: 4:48

Being able to relax will come as your body remembers the movements by itself. One way of doing that is to do the kata several times. The first time focus on your footwork. Then focus on your hands and let your feet do their own thing. Next time focus on your breathing, don't worry about the hands and feet. Then on you kime (snap at the end of the movement). Finally go through and try and do it all at once. The bits you feel weakest, repeat focusing on that part.

Just started Shotokan 2 months ago and learned Heian Shodan and Heian Nidan. Now I want to change to Kykushin and I am very happy that the difference is not as big as expected. First two Kata´s were nearly the same as in Shotokan... Oss/Osu

Reminded me of my years of kyokushin in Brooklyn with sensi Kanamura. I want to thank you for posting the pinan kata. Great job!

Excellent, I did Karate for 20years and have had 8years off so this is a nice refresher before I dive back in. Thanks

i just became black belt yesterday :)

For all those who suffer from "Nerd Rage" these katas were produced in steps to help students. The people showing them are are excellent karateka. Regardless of system it's moving meditation. I hope you don't call you're Algebra teacher an idiot when he or she breaks down equations into steps. OSU!

This is so mind blowing for me personally. For a little over four years, I have been a student at a very traditional Tae Kwon Do school. The Grandmaster who owns the school, Kim Jon-Chung (Jon Chung Kim in U.S.), was formerly an instructor of the U.S. Government Forces (aka generic military training). In the past, Tae Kwon Do combined elements of Kyokushin Karate, Kwan schools, and partially Chinese Martial Arts in order to create a full art that demonstrates techniques from the entire body. One of Grandmaster's sons educated a class and said that the forms we are practicing are not Poomsae or Taegeuk, but are actually borrowed from a traditional full contact Karate style. He also said that the traditional techniques that are taught in the school derive from that style as well. Of course, Kyokushin is a full contact style of Karate, however what is crazy is the fact that the style was created by a man born in JAPANESE-KOREA (when Korea was under Japanese rule). It's amazing to see a huge connection between various arts. It's also amazing to know that while I practice the kicks and punches of Traditional Tae Kwon Do, I am also practicing the basic fundamentals of Kyokushin Karate. So cool.

Yes, I was also there with Tadashi Nakamua, School of Scientific Judo and Karate back in the late '60. Very tough, 90 minutes of pure discipline when Sensei Nakamura was just learning english. Great Sensei but it was worth all the sweat and tears.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is Hajime Kazumi. A terrific knockdown fighter, and he has done the 100 man kumite. Just proving that kata is very important to become a good fighter with the right budo spirit. Respect! Ozu.

kyokushin forever

Thank you for sharing the video. Hajime Kazumi. Great fighter and great kata practicioner! Osu!

Remember guys.. getting a black belt doesn't mean you are a master fighter it means you are a master of yourself. Our greatest enemy is self. if you can conquer that then you truly have won this life.

I am quite impressed with how well he performed these forms. I always enjoy watching where different martials artists focus their energy when doing these forms.

this is an unbelievably amazing martial arts demo congrats to the japanese for transmitting such an incredible thing

Karate has a very long interesting and beautiful history and I think it is better to understand the history as well along with the physical aspect . Masutatsu Oyama Sensei, a Korean who stayed in Japan after the war, studied karate from Ginchin Funakoshi Sensei of Shotokan and Gogen Yamaguchi Sensei of Goju Ryu which he later on blended the two to create the basis of his own kyokushin which explains the long Zen Kutsu Dachi similar to Shotokan and low Neko Ashi Dachi similar to Goju Ryu.

Dobrze że na yt można znaleźć takie filmy bo można sobie powtórzyć całe kata przed egzaminem.

I study Shotokan Karate. These Kyokushin Kata are very nice but I was surprised to find that they are essentially the same as our first five kata - Heian Shodan, Heian Nidan, Heian Sandan, Heian Yondan and Heian Godan. The movements and the majority of the blocks, steps and strikes are exactly the same. I have also studied Goju-Ryu Karate though and that style has very different kyu grade katas to either Kyokushin or Shotokan. Very interesting!

Excellent forms. Its interesting to see different versions of the pinan/peian/heian series and how it reflects the differences in the styles. I wonder what Anko Itosu would think if he knew the forms he created would be interpreted so many different ways.

OSS I remember these from a kid, nice upload.

I'm 53 3 was and still is my fav altho 5 is mean also! Thanx...

I am almost a brown belt in Karate TOEIKAN style KYOKUSHIN, this videos help me so much to my exam of degree in the end of the month

Good stuff! Watching this brings back memories. I do see some minor differences in the way we were taught thrse Kyokushin Pinan Katas in the 1980's.

this sensei's technique is impeccable i need to work harder for my black belt junior

I'm watching this bc we have to do all the katas so that I can get a brown bells this really helps bc of the corona virus we can't have any lesson for 2 weeks so I'm watching this so I don't forget anything

Thank you love that style but depends on the person study and alot of practice early in morning God bless and keep working hard

This is really helpful for me since im still practicing to do Pinan Sono ni

Going for yellow stripe my studying is watching these then doing the kata LOGIC!

Thanks for your help

Kyokushin its beautiful

yea its funny how similar the tkd forms are to these. i always thought that but wasnt sure. my first style at age 7 was Higashi Karate. very formal style and we did the pinan's . then after moving to the US i started taking TKD and i would always mix up the patterns because of how close the were to the Japanese kata's man i love Japanese karate such a perfect form of martial arts

I practice kyokushin-kan and this is extremely similar, only minute differences. I'm so glad there are these videos available to practice out of the dojo.

i used to remember all of this...and i stop at blue belt....damn

Me encanta la belleza y precisión de estos movimientos, realmente admirable, como se unen la mente y el cuerpo en cada exquisito movimiento, super guau!!! me fascina!!!

Anyone who thinks kata is bs obviously has never done it or hasn't done it correctly. Depending on the sensei some dojos do more kata than others, I have been practicing Kyokushin for a while, and when we do kata it's generally all day, and it is just as exhausting as kumite. Each function of training has its meaning. Kata will strengthen the body and perfect a technique and then you put it into fighting. IT WORKS!

It's almost the same as shotokan kata, they make the shuto in kokutsu dachi in a different way. Kyukushin is known for the harder kumite.

RESPECT ^^ Osu!

osu ive scattered the comments but i haven't found any comment talking about how pinano sano ni is so confusing, atleast for me ik its really confusing at the beginning before the three moves pinano sano ichi is like kinda easy once you get the first ones it becomes obvious and cool like a mix between diving in blue belt things and taikyoko sano ichi, but i honestly have nothing but respect for the person in this video its insane how well they pull it off and how trained they are and how smooth they are, its honestly amazing

Wednesday I'm going from shotokan -- kyukushin karate Thanks for the video The katas are Almost the same but more powerful I think Btw thanks for the upload

thankyou! Oss.

a very big help, cause I'm currently learning Pinan sono ni

in response to rootbeerboy6 The hyperextension (as you call it) is actually better fordelivering a powerfull punch as it frees the shoulder up and adds extra power to the punch. By not releasing the shoulder the power generated by the legs and through the hips is lessened.

@sbox001 In a sense yes. Oyama trained in Shotokan w/Funakoshi for a while, and also in Goju w/Yamaguchi. So some of the earlier kata in Kyokushin stem from Shotokan kata, and some of later kata stem from Goju. He put his own spin on them, as you can see. There are some kata that are only in kyokushin though, like Yantsu and Garyu.

数見さん　うまい　…

新極真空手 型

@pragzter I agree, but when a dojo becomes consumed in the kata and ignores the sparring completely, that's when the club goes from being karate to just another mcdojo. Kata is a tool to ENHANCE sparring, not the other way around. Kata is designed to make you think in the same way ippon-kumite is; it's so that in a fight you can think on your toes or have the reflexes to pull off techniques from your training, it's not a means to an end though.

This video helps me a lot at learning all the pinan sono kata.

Ossu !! Congratulations

2019?

Pinan II what a beautiful Kata :)

Thank you for posted just clean sharp and helpful to learn from pinan sono ... kata I'm learning Pinan Sono Ni (side views are really helpful) Osu!

I learned all my katas

very good

@pastropmal Korean styles? I doubted if Mas Oyama did since he lived mostly in Japan, but had also learned Chinese kenpo while he was at Manchuria.

I do karate it is really easy and I LOVEEE it . I am grading to a orange belt soon . Wish me luck

OSS..

это было 8 лет назад

Thanks for the work man. From Mauritius

@aganzul Depends on which branch of karate you're talking about. Certain branches don't have the Pinan series at all, like Goju and Uechi Ryu. They consider Sanchin to be the core of their systems, often the first kata they learn.

some move in this kata is almost the same like shorin ryu karate..

It 's great to do these kata's ,if you know they are very old(more then 100 years), I don't use or imagine an opponent,but focus on the movements,and perfect my standings,these kata's are not for fight! great to see it here,so i can train more of them,i think i will perfectly do them when i am 80 years,thats how long and longer you can train karate,it's a life!

I'm doing shotokan and I used to do kyokushin. it's a change in some moves but I do miss the fan blocks from the pinan. it was a lovely move.

It's so beautiful!

Interesting. I have a Shodan in Shotokan and recently moved to Misawa but there's no Shotokan here. So next week I'll be starting Kyokushin. Readjusting some stances will be tough but hey gotta roll with the punches.

thank you so much for this nice work :) i just start to go back to play karate and there is much new come in kata :) thank you again :) omar

Filmik bardzo przydatny, wracam do niego przed każdym egzaminem.

I am from India I also watch your video

To people who say that "Katas are bullshit": Katas have a purpose: strengthening, mindfulness and technique. It is a form of meditative movement where you strive for perfection of each individual technique. Does it replace sparring? No. It is merely to train certain aspects of the fighter. Not all of it.

Thank you very much for this!!!

KYOKUSHINKAIKAN IS MY LIFE, I LOVE IT! OSU!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the clarification!.

number 2 is the hardest to learn by far in my opinion it is a big step up indeed!

Blankman taught his this. Amazing.

Great...OSU from Italy

thx very much ive been trying to memorize kata no.4 since 1 month

@MartyNozz Interesting question. I think he'd be happy to know that his art is being practiced all over the world, since he did a lot to make it public. He might have some choice words about all the different styles, but hey that's the nature of karate. It's a very subjective and personal endeavor, though some may disagree.

Tnx 4 this kata 8 reminds me while i'm still young in mangagoy Bislig Surigao Sur, tnx 2 Jun Alvarez our good sensie n Beux

参考になります

Thanks so much! ❤

This person is very sharp. It is funny to see the similarities between Taekwondo forms and the moves from this skilled Japanese practitioner. My wife is Korean and she explained to me that Taekwondo emulates Japanese styles because of the Japanese occupation of Korea.

Kyokushin Kai comes from Shotokan, hence the Pinon katas are modified for technique differences but the imbusin is the same. Speed in this video is slowed for demonstration but at black belt level the pinon are completed in 8sec.

In response to QuanYin71 Unfortunately many karateka say this but hve no understanding they may know a few applications from the kata but only practice kumite (the sports type) I include WUKO and knockdown in this catagory. The bunkai to the kata is meant to contain the self defense applications to the system. These are largely ignored by modern karate who just practice the form without the function. The bunkai includes defences against grabs, strangles clinch work as well as locks and throws.

@deek77 Thanks for the info, it gave me a chance to discover Yantsu and Garyu...

Osu is an agnowledgement and a sign of respect

OMFG THANU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH I'M DEFENATLY GOING 2 PASS MY GRADING WITH THINS VIDEO THANK U THANK U THANK U SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH I CAN'T WAITE 2 PASS!!!

I missed you by a few years because I started when sensei Kanamura took over the school. I believe Sensei Nakamura opened a new school in Manhattan.

I've haven't practised karate in a while, but aren't these shotokan katas, with some slight alterations?

it has a different meaning. in shotokan karate shuto can mean grabbing an opponents arm and striking to the neck. the "around with your hands" motion could possible be to generate more power

@SuzukiGSXRHayabusa This style is called Kyokushin. Kono ryu ha Kyokushin desu.

Love the 4 & 5

As kyokushin is a style where we fight to knock down, we are used to hide our feet with the pants so the opponent cannot see our feet and predict our moves. And as our Dogi gets several times tainted with blood or even teared by hits, you will hear the phrase that it is meant to be used. But you must keep it clean, yes.

Très beaux mouvements !

Amo d+ arte marciais..

I'd love to see a video of the applications for the Kyokushin versions of the Pinan katas.

Brasil huehuehue, amo Karatê sou faixa verde

Nice katas. very similar to the ones I know. In my school they are called Pinan Shodan (1), Pinan Nidan (2), Pinan Sundan, Pinan Yodan and 5 is Pinan Godan. btw what I'm learning/training in is traditional Okinawan karate.

Pinan Sono Go os the most beautifull kata. I'm a Orange belt of kyokushin karate. Osu

Could you explain more and give me example about "focus", "timing", "maai" and "footwork" ( in kumite, we use boxing-like stance and I dont know how kiba, zenkutsu, kokutsu, sanchin ,... stance and shuto uke use in real fight) and how pracing kata, kihon improve kumite because I see several of my fellows in class only prefer kumite and conditioning but they fight really hard.

I´m not sure, but as far as I know Shotokan is the only style that calls the Pinans Heians and Oyama probably decided to settle with the original name when creating Kyokushin because his style uses an altered pattern, which also was heavily influenced by the more traditional Goju-Ryu, to differentiate between Kyokushin and Shotokan. This is just a theory, though...
