Hi I am Andy Chellew I have been studying martial arts for about 40 years. I am currently training with the Cornwall Karate Club where I am assistant coach. It was here that the Pinan Kata book evolved, when I started learning them I found it difficult to remember the moves I couldn't find any books that would help me . I could draw a bit so started to doodle the katas as a memory aid my fellow students liked them so I started to embellish and improve them so they could follow the katas, With Sensei Kevin Cooke's encouragement I turned them into this book.
