Heian series
The Heian series of kata is a series of kata adapted from more ancient kata such as Kanku dai, Gojushiho dai and others. The Heian kata were a product of Anko Itosu's effort to streamline several kata, namely the Pinan series, into forms suitable for teaching the gross body movement skills of karate to young students.
