Instructions for Shito-Ryu Bunkai - Pinan Shodan

This section focuses on the Shito-Ryu bunkai for Pinan Shodan. To learn the kata movements associated with the Pinan Shodan bunkai, please visit the main Shito-Ryu karate katas section.

Bunkai is a Karate technique where kata is broken down and studied for its offensive and defensive elements. For example, an instructor could select a portion of a kata in order to show a student how this kata element is used to defend against an attack (i.e. middle punch, high kick, etc.). Bunkai do not have to be the same for each kata element studied because there can be different interpretations and applications.
