SANCHIN KATA SECRETS (3/3): Breathing & Timing - Jesse Enkamp 

THANKS FOR WATCHING! 😃 Did you miss part 1 and 2 ⁉️ Watch part 1 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--s_ooAV7mDY.html and part 2 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K5YLh5barb8.html

I've been teaching Uechi-ryu Karate for a few years now and I didn't know most of this stuff. Thanks for making this video it helped me realize why Sanchin is so important.

A little more than 60 years when /i first began to learn Sanchin, the terms were in Chinese, but one thing is for sure, I was never told about the health benefits of Sanchin. Thank you for this presentation.

Drinking too much beer can increase the chances of developing Hemorrhoids. If you run into that master again, have him put the ice on the hemorrhoids. That will reduce the swelling and not dilute the beer.

I learn taekwondo but I love watching this channel. I don't know why 😂

Jessie this one of the better explanations of san chin and since I am 82 and have been doing san chin since 62 I have seen allot of explanations.

Honestly, my favorite video from you so far. I hope you keep doing videos about these so underestimated principles of karate.

Hi jesse. iam 3 dan goyu ryu practioner, i have practice karate for almost 23 years now. In my school sanchin is practice every class as its consider the ground stone. When you reach 1 dan, youre invited to whats is call 3 years of sanchin, that means, doing the kata for 3 years every day. Shall you skip a day, you have to start again. Sanchin is above all a chi-kung o ki development excercise. The breathing shall be the external manifestation of you moving the ki to what are name as the little and the grand circle. These are circuits that move the ki to the meridians that under chinese old knowledge are part of the energy structure of the human body. As one advances in the DO the comprehension of these kata goes more deep and becomes a goal in it self. Its said that the mastering of sanchin is enough to master karate as a whole. I very much like it you video about the external aspects of the kata. As its said in my school: sanchin, mushin, three is one and one its not. greetings

the HEMORROIDS data was GOLD ! thx JESSE

As always thanks for a great video. Always look forward to your videos.

Great videos. Having passed the 5.0 mark, I have found the breathing katas like Sanchin and Tensho very satisfying to train.

I just got finished working out and did mostly Sanchin kata. Thx for this video. I am looking for ways to improve my Sanchin kata and this video does that!💪

Really well done series on San Chin

4:24 best advice on the internet! Cheers for this insight into sanchin kata, I've been curious about the finer details for some time, though I imagine there's more to it than what you've covered in these videos, certain known unknowns.

Excellent video series!

Osu! Enkamp Sensei. I really got a lot from this series. Much obliged. It'd be great to see the kata from start to finish also. Osu!

Great tutorial and teaching!

Excellent explanation you are a very special person. Very professional concise and intelligent Osu Kennethius Senei

Excellent work! Nice form also! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥋

Hi Jesse, i like a lot this series of videos, you are going to make another video about Tensho Kata? Thanks!!! greetings from Argentina Oss!!

Great! Very helpfull hints. Thanks!!

Excellent. Thanks Jesse!

Jesse, I'm enjoyed your mini- series, always its quite entertaining and informative. I sometimes put ice on my beer to make it very cold, not for health reasons like the sensei.

Always well done. Thanks for sharing.. Your explanation is way better than most. Been practicing Goju for 26 years now sanchin for life..

Very helpful information, can you post more about Sanchin Kata techniques.

Love this Jesse

Very nice videos Jesse!. Sanchin is an amazing kata, and so hard to perform it correctly

Hi senpai. Shito ryu practitioner here. Im 27 yrs old and im practicing sanchin everyday 5-10x a day (whenever i have a small chance of doing it) for 10 yrs already. Sanchin is great. Although its really hard to almost master it.

Ice in beer. Awesome. Great mini series on this. Love it.

Thank you so much for this TIPS Sensei Jesse Enkamp, Hoping for another Episode like this while you doing the Sanchin approximately 2mins Sensei,, Osu.

Great video Jesse. My respect. Ossu!!

Awesome. I'm not even 1st dan, but still trying to learn it at home these days. I miss a video from you about how to do it properly, with moves and breath, and whole timing management. Would be great! Osu!

Awesome video love karate and keep training

Thank you sensei.. and can u pls show doing sanchin kata

Jesse ,I just staring traing in shorin ryu ,and we do this form,thank you for video

Obwohl ich kaum English kann, könnte ich trotzdem fast alles verstehen; es liegt dran, dass Du erstens einfach erklärst und zugleich das auch zeigst. Vielen Dank! Osu!

Hey Jesse you should come down to Georgia and do a training session would love to get an experience of karate.

Please give tutorials on teikoku kata. Love you explaining

I appreciate your explanation on how to position feet and shoulders. The question I have is how should the muscles be tensed? When you said Sanchin involves isometric and isotonic contraction, does that mean you're tensing opposing muscle groups throughout the kata, or mainly at the end of each move?

Please sensei, do some videos on Tensho. 🥋🙏

Hi, Jesse! Ever thought about doing a vid on Sanchin Bunkai? Arigato! 🙌

Thanx for the video sempi. I'm a shito- ryu karate kai and also a yoga practitioner I've found if u use the ideas from yoga of moving with your breath and practicing breath control sanchin comes into focus along with all your karate and kata training. Your speed power and endurance will increase immediately.

Hi Jesse your channels amazing

Ever Jess!!!

sensei oss. Sensei do you please explain the breathing with the shoft and hard motion of body in details again. This videos help me much to perform SANCHIN KATA. But i want to understand the hard and shoft motion of body . Sensei i confuse when i shoul breath in. Shoul breath in when do uchi uke and breath out?

Really enjoyed this series on Sanchin! Question: At approx. 2:40 in the 3rd video you're demonstrating breathing. It seems as though you're exhaling as your left arm slightly retracts - I recall you mentioning that exhales accompanied outward movements, and inhalation accompanied inward movements. I do understand how it can be reversed from time to time (my practice of Uechi Ryu has involved much Sanchin, needless to say), though I would love to hear any thoughts you have about its appearance in the video clip. And who knows, you may have been inhaling all along!

Looollll I was not expecting the ending!😂 What does ice cold beer have to do with that? I do mostly Iso training and never knew you could do that to yourself! Crazy👀

One of the hardest kata in Goju Ryu

Hi Jesse great information thank you. I have one remaining question re the exhalation, do you tense your stomach (pushing the stomach out) or do you pull the stomach in on the exhalation? Frank

Oh no! Please no ice in my beer! aka - Make sure to practice Sanchin RIGHT xD Thanks for this series Jesse! You gave me a lot of small tips I can use for my Sanchin, and have an eye on those tiny parts

Gracias por tu excelente video. Lo que he visto y particularmente me cuesta mucho realizar es mantener la posición del cuerpo cuando me empujan para sacarme de mi centro de gravedad. No logro mantenerme en posición. ¿cómo se puede mejorar? Otra duda que tengo es que me han explicado que las rodillas se deben juntar para evitar que pase una patada hacia los genitales. Cuando intento cerrar más las rodillas es cuando siento mucha tensión por la parte interna de ellas y me duele. ¿qué tanto se deben juntar las rodillas? saludos desde Chile.

Hi Jesse sensei! Im just wondering how the thigh protection works? I can't seem to do it...

Jeff, what does the circular block part of the sanchin mean?

I remember reading about the 10th dan (who I'm guessing is Higaonna Morio Sensei?) on your blog long ago! Funny story! Thanks for the uploads, Jesse!

Based upon some of the comments, a series on Uechi-ryu Sanchin, from your perspective, would be interesting. I would recommend the reader find a video of Gushi Sensei executing this form, and compare it to one of Shinjo Sensei executing the same. They are quite different.

Wow. I love it. Just one question sensie jesse, what is your karate style?

great video 💪

As a non-karate practicioner I’m a bit off, but still I wonder- what’s the difference in purpose between the sanchin- and tensho-kata? And is there any difference in the way you ”should” breathe?

Nice story to end the 3 part video

Hi (Oss)! Please, tell me... Who is that 10ºDan master that you meet in Japan?

All I know about the ice in with your beer is to help with the dehydration process that comes with drinking alcohol in the first place. Having ice allows you to rehydrate & enjoy more beers limiting the hangover you’ll likely have in the morning due to dehydration.

Tnx for the advice to prevent hammeroids. 😄 nice vid btw

Hi Jesse, I have heard and practiced that while breathing In during Sanchin , you need to imagine breath going in through nose and thought head(upper curve) to back your spine and imagine it gets curled there at your core.Then when you release of exhale imagine going the same way out and only difference is exhale through mouth...Hope I did not exaggerate but I practised it like this and while punching g out the hands feel more powerful. Is this technique right?

You should go to other locations in Japan. I know you went to Okinawa (the birth place of karate) but I think you could still learn traditional karate training in Japan. Styles like Kyokushin and Shotokan. The Karate Nerd in Japan 🇯🇵

What is the music background?

Can you explain yantsu

They should teach this as the first kata right at white belt for spiritual training

Before I do any other Kata, I do sanchin. In fact after meditation in the morning I do sanchin.

hey i am 14 and i am not that flexy or used to it how do i practice karate at home?

What's next sir? Tensho?

Is there even a bunkai for this kata or is it only for "fitness" purposes?

Im trying to improve my kata but i havent good stance and speed(i have yellow belt). Give me an advice Jesse please

This Kata Is Related To Our GM Cho Jun Miyagi The Founder Of Go Ju Ryu Karate. If anyone Want To Learn This Style, Then Must Learn in Go Ju Ryu Related Dojo. Respect From Me, The Humble Student Of Go Ju Kai Student 🙏.

That little kime exhalation is exactly how Sensei Teruo Chinen taught it.

sanchin,sonchin and hangetsu are the same? jesse

Do we squeeze our butt all the way through sanchin or just o the exhale?

I don't practice the kata myself but have an interest in it why does it sound like your trying to exhale through a closed airway? Would it be wrong to exhale with no sound at all?

After watching the whole 3-parts, i found the idea of Sanchin is very similar to White eyebrow Kung Fu.

Why knee joints hurts when I practice karate

In kyokushin we do everything in sansin dachi.

Squeeze the butt. Yup. I will remember that. Thank you very much on the effort and detail you've put in for this series of video instructions.

how can iuse karate in street fight

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

🙇🏻‍♂️

Breathe in and out like you explained but naturally that’s the uechi ryu way

Always hated Sanchin Dachi, that and Niko Ashi, used to go home with such sore knees, now I know I was doing it wrong.

I’ll definitely pass on the beer story 😂

Isn't the stance on Sanchin developed from training and fighting on boats? If people back then mostly fought on boats, they wouldn't have a jumping, shuffling stance at all

Hi Jesse, when you traveled to China and visited many grand Masters did they tell you how to make tension in your anus (muscles) to avoid hemorrhoid? It is very common in Chinese practices, and my master warned me from the first day I practice the art.

Thank you Jesse!!! (hemorrhoids are vains in butt(everyone got them). Only when they are deformed the bloody horror starts.

This guy is Christoph waltz from an alternate earth timeline!

Don't you have a little retention between inhalation and exhalation..?!? Efficient "burning" of oxigen...?!? (See Pranayama...).

1st

Karate version of qigong from kung fu . Sanchin kata = Japanese qigong

Hi jesse! I am italian boy. I try to speak in English...forgive the mistakes. I wanted to ask you. If you could make a video about the projections,sweeps and other various karate outlet...i would be very grateful to you. Put "i like" to let you read it! Thank you so much.

😂👌

Boobyshi... 🙏
