This is the second Kata of the Pinan group.
Steps
Begin the Kata in Fudo Dachi. On the command "Yoi" move
into the Yoi stance.
On the command "Hajime" move the left foot 90° to the
left into Kokutsu Dachi simultaneously the right fist is pulled back to the
right side in the ready punch position and the left fist is positioned
immediately on, and
vertical to, the right fist. Without moving the body raise the
right arm into a position similar to Jodan Uke (to the side of the head) and
move the left arm across into a Chudan Uchi Uke position (fist approximately at
chin height). Both these movements are to be executed simultaneously.
Still in the Kokutsu Dachi position strike right Tetsui Hizo Uchi
twisting the hips square. The left fist is simultaneously brought back over the
right shoulder so that the elbow is level with the jaw (n.b. the left fist is
approximately 3 cm above the shoulder and the back of the fist
faces upwards). Retaining the same stance the right fist is turned 180° so that
the knuckles are directed straight in front as if to cover, the left fist is
brought back to the ready punch position.
Move through with the left leg into Kiba Dachi and looking to the
left punch left Jun Tsuki and pull the right fist into the ready punch
position. (It is essential to use the hip movement in Jun Tsuki).
Pull the right leg back into right Kokutsu Dachi at the same time
turning the body 180° simultaneously the left fist is pulled back to the left
side to the ready punch position and the right fist is positioned immediately
on, and vertical to, the left fist. Without moving the body or its direction
raise the left arm into a position similar to Jodan Uke and move the right arm
across into a Chudan Uchi Uke position.
Still in the Kokutsu Dachi position strike left Tetsui Hizo Uchi
twisting the hips square. The right fist is simultaneously brought back over
the left shoulder so that the elbow is level with the jaw. Retaining the same
stance the left fist is turned 180° so that the knuckles are directed straight
in front as if to cover, the right fist is brought back to the ready punch
position.

Close both fists and move the left leg across at 45° to turn into
left Zenkutsu Dachi, simultaneously the left forearm is positioned at 45° in
front of the head. In addition the right arm, fist closed, is positioned behind
the right leg, thumb facing upwards. These latter movements are executed whilst
the body is turning into the position preparing for Zenkutsu Dachi. To complete
the turn the right hand moves quickly in a circular bowling
action (with the fist closed) over the shoulder at a 45° angle (at
this stage the left arm is in front of the body) across the left thigh and then
across the body with a right Chudan Uchi Uke. As the right arm moves across the
body the left fist is pulled back into the left ready punch (n.b. all these
movements are executed quickly). Keeping the arms in this position kick right
Chudan Mae Geri so that the leg is just inside the right arm (when executing
the kick ensure that the right arm does not drop from the blocking position).
