Bunkai

Each kata has a set sequence of steps and techniques against imaginary opponents. An important part of kata training is bunkai - application of the techniques. It provides a necessary understanding of the content that contains hidden technologies that are not what they appear to be at first glance. Bunkai literally means "analysis" or "disassembly".

Bunkai 1-5 consist of Heian Shodan, Heian Nidan, Heian Sandan, Heian Yondan and Heian Godan.
