Meaning of Form

The symbol of this set of forms is the turtle. "Peion" means "peace" and "tranquility." Created in the early 1900's by Yasutsune Itosu, these forms were designed to teach the basic movements and prepare the martial artist for more complex forms such as Bassai and Goon San Goon from which the Peions came.
