Japan To-do:

I added the waza section, don't know if this is appropriate, since the kata are likely different across styles. Although I would prefer a description of the kata in each style, instead of the removal of the page. This is how I learned the kata in my Seido offshoot, and I believe that it is correct back to Kyokushin. I don't know about Shotokan or further. 24.195.60.53 11:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I added Pinan nidan. I also like the idea of including this information 24.195.60.53

[edit] Merge with Heian series

The result was merge with Heian series and Heian shodan. --Scott Alter 19:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Pinan and Heinan kata series are almost identical - the only difference being their names (Okinawan vs Japanese). As such, these kata belong in the same article. The article should then mention why there are different names, and the minor variations in the kata between various styles. This would make a better article. As is written now, these kata series seem like totally separate entities. --Scott Alter 06:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

agree with every word. --Cubbi 19:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
