It's actually incredibly difficult to find comprehensive knowledge like this, (short of training in person at a good school.) I am mainly self-taught, and it's actually very gratifying to have discovered some of the nuance on my own, whether out of necessity or the pursuit of practicality, then have it validated later in videos such as this, by a master. I am realizing more and more how much effort the original Okinawan masters put into perfecting their art.
That's wonderful. If you're ever looking for a more extensive dive into this kata we have an instructional video here: gkcglobalshop.com/products/sanchin-kata-pre-order-instructional?_pos=1&_sid=f4098ab60&_ss=r
Thanks for the feedback. I don't know what his plans are, however we continue to document his always evolving body of work with our DVDs; and quite honestly because his karate is constantly evolving he doesn't seem that motivated to "set things in stone" in media, whether it be books or video.
I was practice Shito ryu for years and also Mushindo Kempo and Chinese and Indian Yoga.I also learn Gojo ryu Sanchin. Now my doghter has Hushimoto tyreoditis. When he feel presure in chest, neck where tyroidal glans is and also tension in all body, I do Sanchin seqences and breathing with my doghter. And after this syptoms stoping.
@@GKCgoju Tnx. In Shito Ryu Sanchin, kime is not in phase of inhalation (body is relax) , only in exhalation phase kime progresive rise to the end point of punch when is maximum kime . In that moment kime is in all body, and on the end of exhalation the lower part of the belly 2 cm below the navel goes out, pelvis up. In Mushindo Kempo Sanchin is with open hand.Sorry for my bad English.I am from Croatia.
Regarding Sanchin, health and blood pressure please take a look at the article "Sanchin from a western medicine perspective" by M.W. Lawson: www.olemiss.edu/orgs/karate/sanchin.html
Old message, I know, but Jigoro Kano, the man who instituted the use of the Belt system, never wore his belt "correctly" either. Don't fret over the belt. It's there so you know where you are in the curriculum and so the teacher knows your general skill level when pairing you up for drills and sparring. So long as it isn't coming undone, it's no big deal.
Because belts don't mean shit. This guy doesn't normally train with a belt, fyi. He just throws one on when he's doing these seminars. “A black belt only covers two inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest.”
