Heian Nidan [Shotokan Karate version] [with DOs and DON'Ts]

📽 Heian Nidan is the second kata in the Peaceful Mind series. 📽 This video shows a full performance of the Shotokan Karate version of the Heian Nidan kata along with a diagrammatic representation of its embusen (line of kata) and a detailed breakdown of some of its techniques. 🗒 At most Shotokan Karate schools, Heian Nidan is usually taught/learnt at the White Belt/Orange Belt level (between 10 Kyuu and 8 Kyuu) after having learnt the Heian Shodan kata. This kata contains two kicks (maegeri keage - front snap kick; and yokogeri keage - side snap kick) and relies heavily on the back stance (kokutsu dachi). It is an exhilarating kata to learn and perform and practicing it regularly is a great way to build strong leg muscles and balance for Karate kicking techniques. ➕ also watch: Heian series:    • Shotokan kata - Heian series   Fundamentals series:    • Shotokan Karate - Fundamentals   hip-rotation basics:    • Shotokan Karate Building Blocks (Part 3) -...   🔗 connect with me on social media: Instagram:   / mykaratejournal   Facebook:   / mykaratejournal   🛒 If you would like to buy the brand of Gi/uniform 🥋 shown in this video, you can order it at: (⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored ad and I have no affiliation with the manufacturer/seller.
