The Kanji for Pinnan are Pin=flat and an= safe.....there is a Chinese idiom.....
Yi Lu PingAn= One road safe trip (more or less) Possibly meaning flat roads are safer to travel on than roads that are in disrepair.
Anyway it means have a safe trip.
It was said by some master that knowing/mastering the 5 Pinnan kata would enable the person to defend against most attacks. I can't verify the truth in the saying or who actually said it but that is the popular theory.
