Hi all,
in Gichin Funakoshi's To-Te Jitsu, the Pinan/Heian Kata are called or referred to as Binan, from the Shaolin style.
I take it this was the orginal chinese name for the 5 Kata before the use of Pinan and Heian, as we know the meaning behind Pinan is (safe from harm) and Heian (peacefull mind) although some disagree with the meanings.
However, what does Binan mean?
Kind regards,
Jason
