Heian Nidan
How come there is no kata: heian shidan, or dan rank shidan in Karate?
That has been bugging me! Heian Nidan, Heian Sandan, Heian Godan. (how come it like skips 4) I mean its not a totaly equivalent to counting but 2,3,5. Where’s 4? Sorry if I am not making ssense?
For example in counting:
ichi 1
ni 2
san 3
shi 4!
go 5
The prefix “yon” (as in yondan”) is used, I believe, when numbering a sequence. So you’d say “shi” simply when indicating the number four (ex: “I have four apples”), but “yon” in place of the word “fourth” (ex: “I’m fourth in line”). It’s been ages since I took Japanese, but I believe that was one of the more unusual language rules.
