Sanchin Long form is used as both a breathing and a dynamic tension exercise. This individual seems as though he's focused more on making noise then breathing. As far as dynamic tension goes.. You're suppose to tense your entire body in exception to breathing in (stomach) and during Sanchin step.

[ridallama]

The excessive noise could be a teaching tool to make sure the individual is breathing. Yelling works better.

[ridallama]

When he steps in Sanchin Dachi he repeatedly raises his center of gravity. I do not know if it's more so far definition or another teaching tool.

[ridallama]

Watching it a second time it seems like the hocking noise is hindering more so than helping the breathing.

I think every dojo teaches it differently, but I'm gonna side with travesty on this one. I know that, when we did it for our black belt grading, we were constantly whacked, poked and prodded with canes. We were expected to be always tense. So, that in mind, this looks kind of sloppy, at least to me.

travesty712 What you talking about, your body should be lose, then on the moment of impact you tense up... not tight. too slow..

[travesty712]

WAY to fast.

no power none of his muscles are tight, his stance isnt very good at all. what do u mean it doesnt look so bad?

[JohnnyDens]

ur a dumbass he looks good hes tight enough look at his forum not his power

[NMCK69]

Doesn't look so bad to me...I've seen MUCH worse. Takes a lot of guts to put this stuff out for the world to see. Keep at it and keep sharing!

[lslewis]

Go ahead--enough hocking it up--spit already! =)

[hungryforinnout]

haha yeah... not trying to be funny but it does sound like he does want to hock one. i'm shotokan but my friends train in goju and i've never heard them gag or choke like that. maybe a strong deep exhalation but never like they wanted to spit or sounded like their drowning.

[AZNsammyle]

That's part of it loser.
