oh god... this isn't kenshinkan kata Sanchin! this kata is realized with the fists!

[JamesJTraitz]

@321yeyitoxx Yes; but you must understand the history of this kata. Kanryo Higanona ,Sensei Miyagi's Sensei taught the original - done with open hands. Uechi Ryu still teaches it this way. Miyagi closed the fists this is how he and Seiko Higa taught Sensei Akamine ; the founder of Ken Shin Kan. BTW Tensho can also be done with open hands. As you (should ) know , Sensei Akamine taught the Uechi Ryu version of Seisan as well

Sir

Thank you for this clip. The great thing about the internet is one can find new ways of doing old things. I have not seen this form of Sanchin kata before. What is it lineage? And what style of karate do you teach and train in? Thank you for your time. Osu

@1banryukyu Go Ju Ryu ...Miyagi closed the fists , the open hand - original is retained by Uechi Ryu..we do both

[JamesJTraitz]

@GojuBob Yes..meditative speed...half speed and 'martial' speed

[GojuBob]

@JamesJTraitz You're so right about people who insist that theirs is the only way! I practise the Higashionna Goju Sanchin (this looks like the Uechi Ryu version?), and I find it better, from the point of view of deep breathing, to do it at about half this speed and with "dynamic tension". Do you do it slower sometimes? This is not in the least meant as a criticism of you, though.

@pierremagne I never said I was doing the Gurdjieff movements. Gurdjieff neither owned the movements nor are 'his' movements the exclusive form of 4th way movements . Groups ,religions and cults often delude themselves in believing that their way is the only way....Gurdjieff is A way to enlightenment but NOT the only way.I clearly say that I am 'showing' movements that represent 'moving meditation' "like Gurdjieff's sacred dances"...you need to be less judgemental and pay better attention !

[pierremagne]

Well, I have only done the Movements and studied the Gurdjieff Work for fourty years in the Gurdjieff Foundation, so I suppose I might be able to see that what you are doing alone in your room are not the Gurdjieff Movements. One can even find videos of the real Movements right here on YouTube and see that what you are doing and lying about is some kind of bad imitation of martial arts. Maybe you are so lost that you believe your own lies now.

@pierremagne You,sadly,do not understand the movements or the teaching

[pierremagne]

This guy has never been anywhere near the Movements.
