Isshin-ryu Sanchin

Sanchin using one of several breathing applications. Sensei used to say that Sanchin was in everything he did. That's why I do it every single day.

Do you teach bunkai for sanchin?

[SenseiRadunz]

Yes. Doesn't everyone?

[setboy1]

I have heard of people that only teach it as a physical and mental exercise.

[SenseiRadunz]

How do you do it?

[1banryukyu]

Good job

I like the way Shimabukuro Soshisa's Sanchin is tateseiken zuki and there is no mawate straight forward then straight back. The mawashi uke is closer to Goju Ryu's mawashi uke then to Uechi Ryu's wa uke. And Uechi Ryu has nukite not tate seiken zuki and their tachi is a little more pigeon-toed

but I like Isshin Ryu's. Mr. Shimabukuro trained under Mr. Miyagi who himself trained under

Mr. Higa(shi)onna. Domo

We teach bunkai. I would love to see a video on sanchin bunkai if you ever make one. I'm always lookig for new ideas for this kata. I also like that your sanchin dachi is not really "short" and is more seisan like than some of the ones i've seen.
