a lot of karate styles and kata are "borrowed" from Gung Fu, specifically Fukien provence in sothern China. In addition to Paiganoon gung fu, Fukien White Crane seems to be very popular in Japanese and Okinawan karate. Uechi-Ryu seems to be one of the closest to being like Southern Chinese Gung Fu it is good that both traditional bunkai and experimentation is encouraged. Best way to preserve the tradition and move the art forward. A chinese saying goes, "running water never goes stale."

Seisan, meaning "13". Usually interpreted as "Thirteen modes of attack and defense" or "13 positions to attack/defend from".) An alternate meaning is simply "13th Room Kata", being the form synthesised in the 13th Chamber of Shaolin boxing, using individual techniques taught in the previous training rooms.

Love the simultaneous capture-and-counter @ 2:30. That principle against a stick/bat attack can also be seen in Krav Maga as well. What's funny is, karate haters think that it's only practiced in Krav Maga, basing that on the block & counter principle mostly seen in Japanese karate. And I'm saying this as a practitioner of Japanese karate. They don't realize that karate in general has a myriad of weapons and strategies at its arsenal. Much obliged, Sensei, OSU!

Those aren't the full katas and Sanchin is the very main kata. Everything circles around it!

Oh..yes. I'm from Spain and I studied Hung Gar too, and Kenpo Karate. Yes, I know Uechi ryu was originated from Paiganoon kung fu
Yo aqui veo kung-fu mas que karate. Concretamente kung fu del sur

Thank you for your comment.
I have also studied southern Chinese kungfu (Hung Gar) for several years when I was young. As you probably know, Uechiryu was originated from southern Kungfu.

I wonder if you post the video of the application of kata Seryu in the traditional way, and how do you do in your dojo, thank you for your attention!

I have no immediate plan to post the Seiryu Bunkai (Is that the one you meant?). I also have no plan to post the traditional Sanseiryu Bunkai because there are several of them posted already.
My students practice both traditional and non-traditional ways. IUKF (International Uechiryu Karate Federation) requires the practice of the traditional Bunkais, and encourage the higher ranks to be creative and experiment with different interpretations but must be realistic. Thank you for the questions.
