Heian Godan is the 5th and last kata in the Heian series and has 23 counts. It is perhaps the most athletic of the Heian series and visually very exciting. This kata employs movements, techniques and concepts that challenge the skills of the karateka.
The contrast between fast and slow is stressed in Heian Godan and the karateka is put to the test by performing the movements, including a jump, with speed and balance.

Plyometrics, also known as “jump training” or “plyos”, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength).
Karate requires explosive speed and power, and need simulated, application of plyometric training exercises to match. Here are some plyometric exercises which you can use by yourself, or in the dojo. Remember to try simulate the trajectory of karate technique. This is highly effective and simple to do.
