平常心, Heijōshin, means keeping a calm and balanced mind in every situation. In karate, it means staying relaxed, focused, and in control during training, kata, kumite, competition, and teaching. You do not panic under pressure, become careless after success, or lose control because of fear or anger. With Heijōshin, your breathing stays natural, your body stays free from unnecessary tension, and your decisions become clear and effective.

In the Shitokai version of Heian Godan, the arm movement begins with Sasoi-di (Sasoi-te), an inviting action used to draw the opponent’s attack and establish contact.
The arms then form Chudan Kosa Uke. Both forearms cross at the middle level to protect the centreline, redirect the attack, and control the opponent’s arm.
This sequence teaches a smooth transition from invitation, to contact, to control. Both arms must coordinate with the hips, posture, and body movement with correct timing.

Suparinpei (壱百零八) Kata

Suparinpei (壱百零八, also knows as Pechurin and Hyakuhachiho) is one of the original Kata from RyuRuKo Sensei while he was in Fuzchou in the Fukien Province of Southern China and was handed down to Kanryo Higaonna Sensei. Visually it is similar to the Chinese White Crane Kata and the Kempo Kata of the Dragon! Its Okinawan counterpart is Pechurin.

Superinpei is the number 108 in Chinese and the Kata itself is sometimes called or translated as;
1. 108 Hands
2. The final 108 hands
3. 108 Techniques.

And has special significance in Buddhism.

Superinpei is Naha-te’s longest Kata containing more applications and techniques than any other Naha-te Kata and uses classic breathing however silent [Ibuki]. Yes still can executed with perfect form and end in Zanshin. Many of the techniques in this Kata can also be found in earlier Naha-te Kata (Seisan and Sanseiru, etc…). Master Kanazawa of Shotokan and Keiyo University of Tokyo, add this kata to their associations and called it Hyakuhachiho.

Embrace the challenge, push your limits, and remember: Your body is capable of incredible things – let every workout be a celebration of strength and progress!

Naha-te (那覇手)

Nahate originating in the city of Naha in Okinawa, Naha-te is one of the three major systems of Okinawan Karate (Okinawa-te), alongside Shuri-te and Tomari-te. While these systems share common roots, Naha-te distinguishes itself through its emphasis on strong stances, close-range techniques, and deep breathing methods.

Kicks develop more than flexibility and power. They strengthen balance, coordination, control, confidence, and many other important qualities. Do not train only your favourite techniques. Work on your weaknesses and develop both your hands and legs. Strong legs create strong movement. Good kicks create more options. Never neglect your kicks.

Nipaipo is an advanced Shitoryu kata with strong roots in Chinese White Crane boxing. Master Kenwa Mabuni learned the kata from Master Go Kenki, then simplified it and taught it to his students. Nipaipo combines flowing circular actions with sudden explosive techniques, rapid open-hand combinations, evasive body movements, trapping, controlling, and short-range striking. Nipaipo is one of the four Shitei, or mandatory, kata. Practising and mastering this kata is important in Shitō-ryū Karate.
