KARATE:
PINAN KATA IN DEPTH
By Keiji Tomiyama
This excellent work, with more than 800 photos for ease of use,
is designed to help students get the most out of the study and
training of the five essential Pi Nan kata. Tomiyama Sensei,

demonstrates the katas, advising on performance and underlying
principles, but also brings together sets of “bunkai”
(applications) to aid understanding of the content. It is through
the practice of Pi Nan katas and the many and varied applications
that practitioners at all levels get a solid foundation for
a meaningful study of the art of Karate. This comprehensive
work is an indispensable tool for students and teachers alike.
