Heian Godan Full Tutorial! Tips and Bunkai Explained!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Which is harder for you? Heian Godan or Tekki Sandan?

[@markc.jamila3848]

For me is tekki sandan usually in tekki katas i only practice tekki Shodan,than sandan and nidan but i practice heian katas looking forward to this

[@figraa]

Heian Godan. I still remember my first injury thanks to the jump. Todavía me acuerdo de mi primera lesión gracias al salto

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Mark C. Jamila tekki Shodan tutorial is coming up soon too, so please look forward to that as well!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Figra Ardham hopefully with the next “how to jump high” video, you might get an idea of why you hurt yourself!

[@ArielMeilij]

Tekki Sandan is much more complicated because of the cadence

I am Shito Riu practicant 6 kiu and i have 47 years old men, but i like how you explain many moves and katas, Oss. and greetings from Argentina, Ushuaia.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Thank you so much! I will keep in making these videos!

Ushuaia is a nice little town. Got a stamp on my passport from it 😀

[@Letham316]

I've learned the Heian katas up to Yondan, and my biggest obstacle was the occasional part that required a bit of time and effort to get my head around. Then I get to Godan, and it's like walking into a brick wall. There are so many unfamiliar movements that I have difficulty following. I think, unlike previous katas where I played and followed the full sequence, I'll have to split it into several parts and concentrate on a few steps at a time.

when you have a big test for purple belt next class, and u don't know the kata & this guy saves ur life.

When I practiced Karate my favorite Kata was Kousoukun Sho... never learned it but I love watching it!

[@markc.jamila2386]

The original kata for Heian Godan is Pinan Godan the same technique it was modernized by Funakoshi Gichin and change the techniques

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Right!

[@markc.jamila2386]

But i practice Shotokan like you

This is definitely my number one favourite kata

[@jamealjordon1376]

One April afternoon, in the Spring of 1992, after running out of a pocket full of quarters, near a convenience store, playing Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, I stumbled into a YMCA, where an American Karate was being taught. Heian Godan was the kata, I saw being demonstrated by the instructor a second degree black belt in the local / regional karate style being taught. To my 12 year old brain, the rising punch to the hop, then the downward cross reception was the closest parallel and real-life analog to the fictional Anasatsuken Rising Dragon Punch... and I was sold on karate.

[@clausanders2886]

Your bunkai of the mawashi uke is the old one (the same, as I learned 5 years ago). Now the shotokan bunkai (at least JKF) is different: the hands don't go down to the hip, but in front of the hip (about 20-30cm distance) and the aite's hand is not to be caught, but pushed down with both hands. That what I was told at the konin dan shinsa in Saitama and my sensei confirms the new kime.

[@wyrmse]

I mean, bunkai is very much an interpretation. Also, it depens a lot on the situation. Thus a series of moves in a Kata can easily be used to different attacks with a different outcome. I trained with one application that was basically against three strikes: Head and 2x stomach. So the bunkai then reads: Block head strike, the down movement then blocks the second stomch strike, and the last is a block combined with strike and immediate follow up with a second strike. I don't think we should set our minds in stone regarding bunkai, but keep our minds open to applications quite wide in variety. It's a series of techniques that we learn and that can be applied in a vast range of situation. Even combine Katas, because again, bunkai is self defense and self defense is chaotic, not a neatly lined up sequence. The finishing technique can be everything from a leg kick to a yodan punch or even an empi if you're closer to your opponent.

[@davidbarnwell_virtual_clas6729]

I dunno..I've seen a demonstration if Shaolin Kung Fu where the bunkai was a grab. I think it's a grab of some sort, possibly leading to a joint lock of some sort. I think real self defence, real fighting, is fluid, so, possibly ALL Bunkai are correct as long as they can be safely and reliably applied? Here's the Bunkai I mentioned. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIXEqHqZi5qhjqc

[@clausanders2886]

@@wyrmse If you do a test at JKF, you need to follow their rules. Independent of the Bunkai, now the move is not at the hip, but in front of it. I personally liked the old version (as shown in the video) better, but the referees don't.

[@wyrmse]

@@clausanders2886 Tests are to verify you understand basics. After you receive a black belt (which is nothing more than an acknowledgement that you are now acceptable in your basic understanding of Karate core techniques) you are encouraged to go beyond basics. That is true karate, always keep developing yourself and the art of Karate.

[@clausanders2886]

@@wyrmse I basicalloy agree, on what you are saying (I'm studying Karate for 10 years now - Japan). What I want to express, that the rules are changing, and if you don't comply to he given rules (like it or not - I don't like), you can't pass the test. Passing the kounin-dan shinsa doesn't mean, you are a perfect Karate-ka, but ,eans you understand the current rules and show a complaint performance. Nothing more or less.

[@jameshicks7125]

Hi Sensei, I am still working on Heian Shodan. I am also working on Heian; Nidan, Sandan, Yondan and Tekki Shodan. Heian Shodan I find to be more difficult because it's more basic. I find If I keep working on other Katas Heian Shodan starts to improve, like starting and stopping at the same place. So now I a working on Heian Godan again.

[@OverdriveRSSZ]

I was thinking about getting back at shotokan after more than 15 years. Would i be able to go back to my green belt? How does a dojo resolves this kind of situation? You know, i did not remembered the right kata name before, but i still remembered that movie which you disarm your opponents stick attack and use the 180 kick to hands face. Muscle memory is really a thing after all those years. I think i stopped in the middle of green preparation to purple belt. Wished i had continued, but due to class age (i think) we were not allowed to jyu kumite in normal class if not authorized by parents to attend kumite especial classes in the weekends. There was a black or brown belt back in the day that used to do that jump in like a 1.5 to 1.8 metters high and vert fast. A lot of people just waited after class just to watch that move from the adults class by this guy. You could even fell the wooden flor shaking and feel that kiai screaming trough your skin. It was almost as if a dbz character or superman jump-stomp the flor. So awesome! By the way, back in the day, that dojo was old school, so even as i teenager i trainned makiwara and knuckles pusshup. Respect above all else, first! Enhance for the spirit/moral formation, first! Moacyr sensei, hei! oss!

Nice, you know, the father of Taekwon-do gen. Choi Hong Hi was 2 degree black belt in karate besides other martial arts, so he put a lot of karate in Taekwon-do, you should watch "ITF Taekwon-do tuls", especially Yoo-sin tul, Toy-gye tul, Moon-moo tul, Hwarang tul and Juche tul.

[@athulkrishnat.r4358]

can you do more katas like bassai dai , jion etc

[@NeedlecrashDCB]

It's interesting to see Heian Godan. In Tang Soo Do, this is called Pyung Ahn Oh Dan. Tang Soo Do hyung/kata are from Japanese/Okinawan Karate Do. Shotokan specifically.

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Welcome！

[@PovilasGi]

Thank you! Can we expect you going through all the shotokan katas with videos like these? I have a couple of questions: 1. Is lifting leg necessary in 180 turn? You kept it close to your body, but also lifted it a lot. Is this needed? 2. During the hand extension from kiba dachi is palm facing sideways or down? You kept it sideways all the time, but i've seen people keeping it down and turning only at the end. 3. During the jump do you put your legs behind you or keep them crossed under you like in empi? Once again, thank you very much!

[@mykaratejournal2120]

Thanks for some great tips. For the jumping technique in Heian Godan, I was taught that height is not so important as jumping quickly and raising your knees high as the preferred application is avoiding a sweeping attack with a stick. On the other hand, kata Empi has a higher jump. What are your thoughts? +1 about utilizing the twist from the Renoji dachi and raised arms for performing the jump (it's easy to overlook this crucial detail).

[@WhyallaDojo]

Very good technique, and a great video for beginners, though I would like to offer some advice if I may. On move 3 attention should follow the direction of kage tsuki kamae (right) and in general, all movement should be preceded by your attention (looking). Keep up the great work.

[@muboizin]

The jump part of the Heian Godan was passed to me as a defense against a bo attack against your legs. The landing was a way to disarm or break the bo. Your leg sweeping is a good interpretarion that I haven't seen. Reminds me of the Basai Dai. A complete bunkai would be nice to see instead of a single technique, and some variations of the same technique (like the holding variation of the jodan juji uke).
