Sanchin Kata, Gojo Ryu Karate Style. - USA National School of Karate



Posted by Sensei Gualdo Hidalgo.

Sensei Morio Higaonna (10-th Dan,IOGKF Chairman &
Chief Instructor),
Sensei Kazuo Terauchi (8-th Dan ,vice-chairman of the
I.O.G.K.F.). World Budo Sai 2008, Japan.

The version of Sanchin used by most styles of Karate
was developed by Goju Ryu founder Chōjun Miyagi and uses a very strong, tense
closed fist "push". In Uechi Ryu and in Ryusei, the practice of
Sanchin is closer to the Chinese version with faster spear hand strikes that
are more snake like.

Sanchin is a kata of Southern Chinese (Fujianese)
origin that is considered to be the core of several styles, the most well-known
being the Okinawan Karate styles of Goju Ryu and Uechi Ryu, as well as the
Chinese martial arts of Fujian White Crane, Five Ancestors, Pangai-noon and the
Tiger-Crane Combination style associated with Ang Lian-Huat. Tam Hon taught a
style that was called simply "Saam Jin" (Cantonese for
"Sanchin"). The name Sanchin, meaning three battles, is sometimes
interpreted as the battle to unify the mind, body, and spirit; however, there
are other interpretations of it.
