Just beginning to re-learn Heian Nidan after nearly two decades. My Shotokan dojo teaches the two or double hammerfist(s) from the back stance, especially the second one, at an upper angle, with the second strike from that position.
I studied karate about 10 years ago and now I want to go back to it a bit. And thanks to you, I gradually remember what I knew and learn new things. Thanks ;)
Just got my orange belt and starting on this kata now. Thank you! I'm always looking for ways to improve the hip movements and this really made it easy to understand
I just watch 1st time your videos i like it 😊 and i understand the kata properly 😊 👍 thankyou for explaining it nicely ❤ i am going to subscribe your channel 🙂 and also like your videos 🙂❤❤
These videos are so awesome, easily the best I've come across. I practised Karate for about 9 years but gave it up for one reason or another and many many years later I now want to get back into it. Having to admit that you've forgotten everything you'd learnt is a hard pill to swallow, but thanks to these videos, I'm finding that I'm picking Katas back up quickly! Thank you!
Thank you so much this video has helped me alot ! Our sensai has'nt teach heian nidan yet so i just thought to learn this already and be perfect quickly when we learn this ! Once again thank u !
Thank you for the video. I have studied many options for bunkai for Heian Nidan. Yours looks impressive. Me-I get closer in, and pull the opponent into me, off balancing him (hard to explain). NOTES ON BUNKAI: • More than 1 interpretation exists in kata. • Advancing techniques imply attack; Retreating movement implies defense (most of the time, not all). • A chambered hand usually has something in it. (attacker’s arm) • All blocks are strikes, too. (or take-downs) • Touching your own body in kata implies making contact to your attacker. • Strike hard to soft, and soft to hard. (head/fist=hard, kidney/throat=soft) • Deal with one enemy at a time, even if there are more than multiple attackers.
It took you a week? Oh no, I’m returning to karate after a one year break within a month and I’m trying to review. If it took you a week for 1 kata I’m screwed 🤣🥲
My sons and I have started taking Shotokan Karate and your videos are the absolute best at explaining the different katas. I normally don't subscribe to channels, but I did to yours! Thank you for taking the time to really explain the different katas, breaking them down step by step, and how they are implemented in a block / strike situation. This information is extremely valuable for up and coming students!
thank you so much this will be so helpful for my grading next week Edit: I forgot to say but I passed it and became a green belt but I have already done another grading after that so now I'm blue belt
Thank you for this video and your explinations. I train a group of kids and because of the lockdown here in Germany there is no training. I've recommended you to them, so they don't forget the kata (what happens within a week ;)) Therefor, Funakoshi roule No. 11: "Karate is like boiling water. If you do not heat it constantly, it will cool." (Message of this weeks exercise sheet)
Hello Karate Dojo Waku thank you so much for uploading this video I'm in yellow belt and i was having problems with learning Heian Nidan but your video helped me a lot i hope your channel gets 100000000000000 subscribers
There is a pattern in ITF Taekwondo that is around 60% similar with Heian Nidan / Pinan Sono Ni. The name of the ITF pattern is Won Hyo tul. For your next video, maybe you can make a review to compare between Heian Nidan / Pinan Sono Ni versus Won Hyo tul.
Hi - can I ask what you mean by 'application'? I assume it's application for a certain type of competition? As opposed to a realistic application that probably is far closer to what Itosu had in mind when he devised the kata? Given the influence you have perhaps you can consider explaining the difference between practical karate and competition karate?
Love the power, speed and emphasis you put on your patterns, but the Bunkai needs a lot more thought. For a start, in many examples you do not have to even move because you are well out of range of the attacker. Place the attacker where they can hit you and the bunkai will change too, becoming more realistic and less stylish.
Yusuke Sensei, I miss a detailed and complete Heian Nidan Kata tutorial. Could you please upload this sometime? I would love to learn it from YOU. That would be nice. Thank you very much in advance and my best wishes, Fuyuda
Interesting point in my club in Karate Union of Great Britain(KUGB) where taught the third and fifith movement where youre doing a tettsui uchi we punch straight out. I think everything else is the same.
It appears that your background is influenced by Takushoku University, JKA and perhaps Mr. Nishiyama. My background is influenced by Waseda University, Mr. Egami, SKA and Mr. Ohshima. Our Heian Nidan is very similar, but with some differences. The hip movements in and out at the beginning we don’t do (I emphasize a hip movement in when the back hand does the Gedan hammer fist (block or attack) and right hip back out when the front hand does it’s Tsuki. Our back stance doesn’t leave the front foot ahead of the knee, but directly below the knee. When doing the Ude Uke on the back side of the Kata, I learned it with a VERY dramatic hip turn (far enough that the back foot rotates so the thigh closes off the groin from attack). When I first learned the Kata (before you were born I’d guess-LOL), the teacher kept asking everyone if their hip was turned enough. Everyone kept answering “Hai!”. Then he walked over to one guy and kicked him in the groin, dropping him to the floor. Everyone in the room found that there hips would turn just a little further. Now when matching and someone gets very close to me, my hips automatically turn with no thought from me.
C how I would of block that ice pick from hitting my head if I seen it coming but did not for that wasn't my attention at that time was to protect both party's
I recall learning movement 2 as you are showing it, but in M Nakayama's Best Karate book, the instruction in Japanese is "Migi kentsui hidari sokumen uchi-komi, Hidari tekubi nagashi-uki". The English translation, in the book, for the left side is "strike to left side with right hammer fist". Is there a mistake in the translation as what you are showing, and how I was taught, is not a hammer fist strike.

You forgot to pull back your leg in your uchi uke, missing out on the power of gyuaku hanmi. Love your channel, keep up with the good work.
Great - thanks
Thank you too!
So fast but beautiful thank you
I think that the front hand which makes the block must be higher than the the back one ( the zenwan hitai kamae).
Thank you for checking out the video! Thanks for your opinion!
Thank you Sensei

There's so much knowledge in Katas. Too bad that some Karate schools do not make their students practice the application of the movements.
What is that kanji patch you have on your karate gi? Is it a shotokan patch?
Well performed, a bit different from how I learned it - but, I expect there to be stylistic differences.
huh thats the standard version can i ask how you mightve learned?
Muito obrigado! Você é um professor nota 10 👏👏🇧🇷🤩
The 3 step must be downer block or punch?
Oss you make kata kanku dai
Coming up soon!

Very excellent training Guide for Trainer of Trainers and that is what I am. Thanks greatly keep us renewed with the Bunkais.
El pie atrazado debe girar sobre el talón , no sobre la punta del pie.
what is the name of the kata that run yellow belts to become orange belt on the exam?
the kick you hit in the first isn't the right one its (yokugeri) side snap kick which is used hit in the neck .
I can't really share this bunki with my under 13 year old students, any ideas at adapting for youngsters?
👍
i under stand now heian shodan i'll have [maybe] yellow ...well u know am so happy
Do you know what type of shotokan this is?
This is the normal JKF style. Were there any differences you found?
@@KarateDojowaKu i had herd there were two lineages thats all
I am Religiously following your channel osu!!
Interesting. This is similar to the Tae Kwon Do form Won Hyo. I understand TKD was influenced by Shotokan.
Muito bom, perfeito
can you show en-kou Nidan(bright fire) (level 2)
Spent 6 months to master this kata and it's bunkai and obtained orange belt
BAD yoko geri keage, the foot in the tatami dont move, and its high..
