Darin Yee - Kata Tutorials - Sanchin (三戦)

The first in a series of tutorials from Darin Yee-sensei, President of the International Uechi-ryu Karate Federation (IUKF). Sanchin (三戦) Literally meaning “three battles” (San = three, Chin = battles), Sanchin can be considered an educational kata that helps practitioners understand the Sanchin Dachi stance, learn the movements in Uechi-Ryu, and integrate the alignment of different body parts that will be used in the higher-level katas. It also introduces the first circular blocks (Wa Uke). Sanchin is a cornerstone kata in the Uechi-Ryu system. In fact, all the body angles studied in this kata are essential for performing all techniques and the other katas. Although Sanchin may appear simple, it is actually one of the most complex katas to perform correctly. According to Okinawan practitioners, it takes a lifetime to master. The three conflicts (Mind, Body, Spirit) can also be the challenges encountered while performing this kata: flexibility, timing, and strength.
