Welcome to Kuro Taka Martial Arts
We offer several classes a week and cover all aspects of fitness and self defence training.
The Instructors have a combined experience of over 30 years, bringing together techniques and experiences from their very traditional Wado Ryu Karate back ground, but also utilising their experience in Aiki Jitsu, Judo, Krav Maga and the British Military.
Pinan Nidan
The Pinan (平安) kata are a series of five empty hand forms taught in many karate styles. The Pinan kata originated in Okinawa and were adapted by Anko Itosu from older kata such as Kusanku and Channan into forms suitable for teaching karate to young students.
When Gichin Funakoshi brought karate to Japan, he renamed the kata to Heian, which is translated as “peaceful and calm”. Pinan is the Pinyn notation of 平安, which means also “peaceful and calm”.
