KYOSHI ANTHONY FERGUSON 8TH DEGREE BLACK BELT PERFORMS SHORIN RYU KATA PINAN SHODAN.
Shōrin-ryū is one of the major modern Okinawan martial arts and is one of the oldest styles of karate. It was named by Choshin Chibana in 1933, but the system itself is much older. The characters 少林, meaning "small" and "forest" respectively and pronounced "shōrin" in Japanese, are also used in the Chinese and Japanese words for Shaolin Kung Fu. "Ryū" means "school". Shōrin-ryū combines elements of the traditional Okinawan fighting styles of Shuri-te.
PINAN SHODAN TO GODAN WERE COMPOSED IN 1907 BY ANKO ITSOU WHO WAS BORN IN 1830. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
The kata are all loosely based on an I-shape. These kata serve as the foundation to many of the advanced kata within Karate, as many of the techniques contained in these kata are contained in the higher grade katas as well, especially Kusanku.
