Junro Shodan
This kata is the 1st kata from the Junro Katas which are part of the JKS syllabus. The Junro katas were introduced to the syllabus by the late Sensei Asai who wanted to develop lesser used techniques, stances and spinning techniques.
Junro Shodan trains a lot of push and pull elements and has a lot of focus on the use of hips and leg control whilst transitioning into a variation of stances. Reverse punch is the main use of attack in this kata as opposed to front punch which is the main attack in Heian Shodan.
