Heian Shodan
This is the first kata in most Shotokan dojos. It focuses on senkutsu-dachi and kokutsu-dachi. These are the two most basic karate stands. It also focuses on hip placement, teaching beginning students the difference in hip placement between punching and defending.
- The most important things to learn in this kata are:
- Advancing maintaining the head at the same hight.
- Straightenning the back leg like a rod in senkutsu, and bending the back knee pointing shightly backward in kokutsu.
- Punching while the shoulders are maintained in alingment with their corresponding hip.
