Taikyoku Shodan
Meaning of the name Basic Kata 1 Moves: 20
Classification Shorin-Ryu
Style Shotokan
Level Basic
Simply   said   Taikyoku   means   univers.   But   this   word   is   for   a   lot   of   things   in   use,   also for restaurants for example. The   reason   why   the   term   is   in   use   for   basic   Kata   is   not   for   sure.   In   a   physical   view   the univers   is   build   by   basic   elements.   We   find   atoms   and   subatom   peaces   and   the natural laws. And   from   this   basic   things   the   whole   univers   with   suns,   planets   and   all   living   things are made. Maybe   we   can   understand   the   Taikyoku   Kata   in   a   similar   way.   Though   only   basic techniques are included we find the principles of Karate at all. So we can say for to understand the complicated, we first have to learn the basic. Taikyoku   Shodan   follows   the   Enbusen   of   Heian   Shodan   but   only   Gedan   Barai   and   Oi zuki will be done.
Taikyoku Nidan
Meaning of the name Basic Kata 2 Moves:  20

The different to Taikyoku Shodan is, that the Oi zuki will be done Jodan.

Also   Taikyoku   Sandan   is   close   to   Shodan   and   Nidan.   Only   the   Uke   techniques   will   be done as Uchi Uke in Kokutsu Dachi.
Heian Shodan
Meaning of the name Peaceful Mind 1 Moves:  25
Classification Shorin-Ryu
Style Shotokan
Level Basic
The   Heian   Shodan   of   Shotokan   is   similar   to   the   original   Heian   Nidan.   But   at   here   the beginning   of   the   Kata   has   been   changed.   So   it   beginns   with   Gedan   Barai.   In   Shotokan it's a basic Kata and very good for to improve the Kihon and biomechanic of the style.
Heian Nidan
Meaning of the name Peaceful Mind 2 Moves:  31
Classification Shorin-Ryu
Style Shotokan
Level Basic
Heian   Nidan   is   similar   to   the   original   Heian   Shodan.   The   change   of   the   names   may have   the   reason   that   the   original   Heian   Shodan   is   more   complicated   and   includes combinations of techniques. The   Kata   is   not   the   best   for   to   teach   beginners,   especially   when   done   in   bigger groups.   So   the   names   have   been   changed   in   Shotokan   and   the   second   Kata   has become the first one of the Heian Kata. Heian Nidan reminds in the beginning to Kanku Dai.
Heian Sandan
Meaning of the name Peaceful Mind 3 Moves:  28
Classification Shorin-Ryu
Style Shotokan
Level Basic
Heian   Sandan   is   nearly   original.   Only   the   midsection   with   the   turnings   and   the   end   of the   Kata   has   a   different   performance,   though   the   techniques   are   still   the   same   like   in the original version.
Heian Yondan
Meaning of the name Peaceful Mind 4 Moves:  32
Classification Shorin-Ryu
Style Shotokan
Level Basic
Especially   in   the   beginning   the   Heian   Yondan   has   been   changed.   Instead   for   the   fast combination   of   Shuto   Uke   and   Shuto   Age   Uke   a   Kaishu   Heiwan   Uke   will   be   done   very slowy.   Also   in   the   midsection   the   Yoko   Uke   has   been   exchanged   with   Kakiwake   Uke. Without   a   small   movement   with   the   left   foot   after   the   first   combination   of   Yoko   Geri, Uraken   and   Yoko   Empi   in   Zenkutsu   Dachi   to   perform   Heisoku   Dachi   the   Kata   will   end a   step   behind   the   point   where   it   begins.   But   this   would   be   incorret   for   Shotokan   style where all Kata has to start and to end at the same position.
Heian Godan

Classification Shorin-Ryu
Style Shotokan
Level Basic
Heian   Godan   is   the   Heian   Kata   which   has   been   changed   most.   But   also   at   here   the mainpart   is   the   way   of   performance.   So   in   Shotokan   an   Ura   zuki   after   Empi   Uchi   in Kosa   Dachi   has   been   added.   And   also   the   end   of   the   Kata   is   different   and   reminds   to parts of Kanku Dai.
