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
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)

Call me crazy, but when I trained in Shotokan many years ago, we referred to this series as Hideki, starting with Hideki Shodan, and going to Hideki Godan.

The original source of the article's statement contains quite a lot of errors: For example karate wasn't introduced to children in elementary school level. That's wrong. Karate at that time was introduced to middle schools for youngsters aged about 15 years – which would make them adults in the view of contemporaries. This can be clearly seen when looking at pictures showing pupils training karate. Also "Chiang Nan" (江南) would certainly be transcribed to "Gang Nam" (강남) – "Jae" (Which word is actually meant? None using that syllable making much sense either...). The authors aren't okinawans. They were korean. They also weren't comptemporaries of Itosu and had no direct link to him. It's all hearsay and nothing more. So it doesn't seem to be a trustworthy source. As for the origin of the Pinan kata and the relation to "Channan" (with two reliable sources): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ank%C5%8D_Itosu#Chiang_Nan
