Pinion is a type of gear. Do you mean Pinan, which would be pronounce pyung-ahn in the Korean styles? Most of the Okinawan styles teach the Pinan Kata, a set of five forms created by Anko Itosu to be taught in the schools. It means 'Peaceful Mind' in a literal translation, but there are others that believe it is refers to being confident and sure of ones' self.
