Pinan Shodan / Heian Nidan

Pinan Shodan

Pinan Shodan seems to deal mostly with someone who has hold of your wrist or lower arm using the same side of their body. For example holding your left arm or wrist using their own right arm. This could typically be an attempt to restrain you or prevent you from leaving their presence. If the opponent is left handed, it may instead be a precursor to an attack like a punch. The resulting applications appear to be shoulder or arm locks.

Note in the movement column, the number denotes the approximate movement number within the kata. This is purely for reference, when performed the movemends flow one to another, there are generally no discrete movements, this is particularly the case when turns are made, the katas often make use of the turn in both the applications.
