I’ve seen a lot of bizarre things in the name of martial arts but it simply amazes me to think how these folks came up with the idea that what they were doing was proper technique.
The same folks couldn’t find the pressure point on my forearm so figured that I didn’t have one ? Yup, I’m just special like that.......

Ah but you have a pressure point I don't, on the sole of the foot! How's that you ask , well, I wear high heel shoes which deadens the pressure point until it really doesn't work, well it does over the amount of years I've been wearing heels.

Ah cool, thanks for posting Tez, love seeing kata performed in different styles. And I forgot the Pinan Shodan and Nidan were switched around in some styles (I actually think the vids you posted are the original order, I learned them the other way around). Can't remember what caused the switched, I think it was because Pinan Nidan was seen as less difficult, so some styles made it Pinan Shodan.
Now THAT is a self defense technique rarely talked about! Eliminate your target altogether by simple removing it from your system!Ah but you have a pressure point I don't, on the sole of the foot!

We learn Nidan first then Shodan, it's just that they came up the other way when I was looking for them.
