Annan (kata)
Encyclopedia
is a karate kata, which implies that it is a technique consisting of a sequence of movements for offense and defense. The origin as well as its creator is anonymous, leaving assumptions about the subject, that would come from a Chinese master who lived in Okinawa and influenced the Tomari-te style, others say that the origin of the form will be linked to the style-Ryuei ryu, and that same line, Naha-te style.

The set of techniques in this kata, when applied in fact, present not only in their bunkai traumatic blows to the short distance but also of immobilization and contol of the opponent.

Origins

One hypothesis says that the kata would have been introduced in Naha Norisato Nakaima by hand, which before would have learned just before taking a trip through China in the region of Tomari, with such Lau Lai Annan, quoted or after the trip in which Nakaima go through Fujian and Beijing. On this trip, the kata may have been taught by a teacher named Ryu Ryu Ko.
