PINAN KATA GRAND MANUAL
By Ryusho Sakagami
MASTER OF SHITORYU ITO SUKA 5 KARATE”
Kata Director of the Federation Of All Japan Karate
Organization (FAJKO)
For the first time in history Karate Master Sakagami

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.

.Price Is $13.50. Limited Supply.

Apply: Canadian Shitoryu Karate Headquarters, 76 Six
