Heian Godan

Heian Godan is the fifth and most advanced kata in the Heian series. It introduces several sophisticated techniques including mikazuki-geri (crescent kick), jumping techniques, and complex hand movements. The kata is characterized by its dynamic nature and the introduction of more advanced concepts such as kansetsu-geri (joint kicks) and nidan-geri (double kicks). It represents the pinnacle of the Heian series and prepares the student for the more advanced Sentei and Advanced katas.
