A MUST FOR ALL KARATE STUDENTS. . .

PI NAN KATA GRAND MANUAL
By Ryusho Sakagami
“MASTER OF SHITORYU ITOSUKA1 KARATE”
Kata Director of the Federation Of All Japan Karate
Organization (FAJKO)
<
For the first time in history Karate Master Sakagami
has issued a manual on the art of the five main katas that all
students MUST master before acquiring the coveted Black
Belt in Shitoryu.
This unbelievably easy to follow manual pictorially illu­
strates how each Pinan kata is performed. Details are given
on each block, kick, punch, strike, stance, and body shifting
technique. Each kata is correspondingly illustrated with the
“Kakushi” or the hidden meaning in each move.
Details are also given on history, and the full spectrum
in performing each kata such as breathing, kiai, body shif­
ting, mental concentration, and attitude.
