Heian Nidan

In this video Sensei Amos covers the first 6 moves of Shotokan kata Heian Nidan. Sensei Amos emphasizes dropping the body weight straight down on the first move and the transfer of body weight on the fourth move, moving the body weight from the right leg to the left leg. Sensei also worked on the body moving into the shomen (square facing) position on moves 2 and 5.

About the author

I have been practicing and teaching karate for over 50 years and believe first and foremost, karateka should enjoy their karate. There is nothing better than seeing a person develop into a great martial artist through their karate practice, while at the same time really enjoying karate.
