《型ピンアンについて 弐》
About Kata Pinan
ピンアン(平安)は古来はチャナン(禅南)と呼ばれていた由。1904年(明治37年)に首里手の拳聖・糸洲安常翁によって制定された。ピンアンは公相君(クーサンクー)、抜塞(バッサイ)、鎮東(チントウ)、慈恩(ジオン)などの古流型より初級者にも実践者にも有用なる技を抜粋、五つの型に再編されたと云う。ちなみに前出の四つの型は現在全空連の第一指定形となっている。(これに加えて最破・サイファ、十八・セーパイ、十三・セーシャン、制弓鎮・セイユンチンが第一指定形)ピンアンが初心者向けと云うのは、その指導勝手においてであり、ピンアン自体は高度な術技で構成されている。型は総てその第一挙動に構造的な極意を含んでいる。極論すれば、正しく伝授せられた正拳突きは総ての技の奥義が凝縮されていると云っても過言では無い。正拳突きは連続耐久稽古で万回を越えるあたりから空を割る手応えが生まれるが、型の意が判り出すのもこの辺りからだろう。
Kata Pinan was called Chanan in old time. It was made by Master Itosu in 1904. The Pinan has many essences of the old type kata. It was made mainly from Kusanku, Bassai, Chintou, Jion by Master Itosu. Kata Pinan includes some parts of important skills of them. This four type Kata is specified for competition at the J.K.A now. And Kata Saifa, Seipai, Seisan, Seiyunchin are same as them.
In generally everyone is saying that Kata Pinan is only for beginner's practice. But is that true? That is not truth I supposes. The Pinan is very easy to practice for beginners but it has very important skills and technique. And it has many applications to use in real fighting. For example, at the first action that is Alpha and Omega. It is secret teachings. You can get special feelings or something when you have practiced 10,000times Kata. And Kata Taisabaki and Hougata and Taikyoku were made after the Meiji period in mainland in Japan. The Kata Taisabaki and Kata Pinan, these relations are the same as heads and tail of coin. These are very important Kata
