You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The ((nihongo|'''Pinan'''|平安)) ''[[karate kata|kata]]'' are a series of five empty hand forms taught in many [[karate]] styles.  The Pinan kata originated in [[Okinawa]] and were adapted by [[Anko Itosu]] from older kata such as [[Kusanku (kata)|Kusanku]] and [[Channan (kata)|Channan]]<ref>((cite book |title=Channan: Heart of the Heian forms |last= Schmeisser |first=Elmar T. |publisher=[[Trafford Publishing]] |year=2004 |isbn=978-1-4120-1357-4 |page=124))</ref> into forms suitable for teaching karate to young students. Pinan is the Chinese Pinyin notation of 平安; when [[Gichin Funakoshi]] brought karate to [[Japan]], he spelt the kata name as '''Heian''', which is the [[onyomi]] of 平安. Pinan or Heian means "peaceful and safe". Korean [[Tang Soo Do]], one of 5 original [[Kwan (martial arts)|kwan]] of Korea, also practice these kata; they are termed, "Pyong-an" or "Pyung-Ahn", which is a Korean pronunciation of the term "ping-an".<ref>((cite book |title=Complete Tang Soo Do Manual: From white belt to black belt |last= Pak |first=Ho Sik |author2=Escher, Ursula  |publisher=[[High Mountain Publishing]] |year=2002 |isbn=978-0-9718609-0-2 |page=237))</ref><ref>((cite book |title=Traditional Tang Soo Do Vol. 2: The Basics |last= Shin |first=Jae Chul |publisher= J.C.Shin |year=1992))</ref>

==History==
According to [[Motobu Chōki]], one of Ankō Itosu's early students, the Pinan kata was created by Itosu and was originally called Channan (((lang|ja|チャンナン))) and had slightly different movements.<ref>((cite book |editor=Karate Kenkyū-sha |title=Karate Kenkyū |trans-title = Karate Studies |language = ja |date=1934 |publisher=Kōbukan |location=Tokyo |page=20))</ref> When Motobu asked Itosu about this point in his later years, Itosu replied, "The form is somewhat different from those days, but now I have decided on the form as it was performed by the students. Everyone preferred the name Pinan, so I followed the young people's opinion."

Since Motobu (b. 1870) began studying under Itosu at the age of 12 ([[East Asian age reckoning]]), this means that the Channan was already in existence by the 1880s. The name "Pinan" was suggested by students of the former Okinawa Prefectural First Middle School (now Shuri High School) or Okinawa Prefectural Normal School, where Itosu was a karate instructor at the time, and was adopted by Itosu.

The Channan is now lost, but some believe that the [[Motobu-ryū]]'s "Shirokuma" (((lang|ja|白熊)), ((lit|white bear|lk=yes))) kata may be Channan because of its similarity to Pinan.<ref>((Cite web |last =Swift |first = Joe |title =Channan: The "Lost" Kata of Itosu? |url = http://www.fightingarts.com/reading/article.php?id=127 |website = FightingArts.com |access-date = 2023-10-26 ))</ref>

The Pinan kata were introduced into the school systems on [[Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa]] in 1895, and were subsequently adopted by many teachers and schools in the 1900s. Thus, they are present today in the curriculum of [[Shitō-ryū]], [[Wadō-ryū]], [[Shōrin-ryū]], [[Kobayashi-ryū]], [[Kyokushin]], [[Seido Juku]], [[Shinki-Ryu]], [[Shōrei-ryū]], [[Shotojuku]], [[Shotokan]], [[Matsubayashi-ryū]], [[Shukokai]], [[Shindo Jinen Ryu]], Kosho-ryū Kempo, Kenyu Ryu, Kushin Ryu and several other styles.

Funakoshi modified the Pinan forms to Heian forms, introducing his version of [[Kūsankū_(kata)|Kushanku]] (actually renamed Kanku Dai). The 5 kata were Pinans Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, and Godan.

==Current practice==
((unsourced section|date=February 2023))
The Pinans are taught to various beginner ranks according to their difficulty.  The kata are all loosely based on an [[I-shaped]] ''[[embusen]]'' or shape.  These kata serve as the foundation to many of the advanced kata within Karate, as many of the techniques contained in these kata are contained in the higher grade katas as well, especially [[Kūsankū (kata)|Kusanku]].

In certain styles, Pinan Shodan and Pinan Nidan are inverted - what certain styles call Pinan Shodan is what others call Heian Nidan, and vice versa((citation needed|date=February 2023)). For example, the kata [[Shotokan]] calls Heian Shodan, other styles, such as [[Shitō-ryū]] call Pinan Nidan((citation needed|date=February 2023)). Another point to note is that [[Shūkōkai]] teaches Pinan Nidan first, and Pinan Shodan second, believing Pinan Nidan to be the easier, more beginner-friendly kata((citation needed|date=February 2023)). The order that is learnt in [[Wado-Ryu]] goes as follows,
#Pinan Nidan,
#Pinan Shodan,
#Pinan Sandan,
#Pinan Yondan (also called Pinan Shidan) and
#Pinan Godan.((citation needed|date=February 2023))
In some [[Shito-Ryu]] dojos the order is different, as most Shito Ryu versions of Pinan Shodan are harder than the rest, so the order is as follows,
#Pinan Nidan
#Pinan Sandan
#Pinan Yondan (also called Pinan Shidan)
#Pinan Godan
#Pinan Shodan((citation needed|date=February 2023))
