- Here's a short excerpt from one of our Zoom class. In it we discuss practicing Sanchin kata, the 'Three Years Sanchin' phrase, a couple of technical points that may make all the difference to your practice.

i liked the 7 years of bagua circle legend. but prefer the ideal of 1 move, training daily, until it is done properly and without hesitation or personal inflections. (1-3 months).
Paul, Sensei Merriman taught that the breath doesn’t need to be loud, it needs to be forceful. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Yes, I agree with Merriman Sensei. The breath in sanchin should support the structural positions when moving and when stationary. It doesn't have to be loud to do this.
Very interesting as usual. I'll be trying out dropping my elbow. I think one of the reasons why Sanchin is so hard is that it's mostly performed in conscious memory not muscle memory, simple though the sequence is, there's just too much to monitor all at once
Yes it can be overwhelming attempting to focus on the different elements of the kata. The key is to recognize that each element is a part of the whole and intrinsically connected. For example, if my weight is too far forward or back then I can't achieve correct posture, if my posture is off I can't breathe effectively, if I can't breathe effectively my mind cannot focus, if cannot focus my mind I cannot drop the shoulders.. and so on. My recommendation when struggling with sanchin is to focus on posture/structure only; everything else will come naturally over time once this is achieved.
@@GKCgoju Hah Hah! Yes I would agree with that for sure. No posture-no sanchin, no breathing-no sanchin, no posture-no breathing-no sanchin. Will carry on carrying on!
This is not my Art but your videos give me an insight too this Art so thank you and see you on FB lol
That's great to hear.
So this is who trained Gavin and John Luke.
Do you really have to keep flexed ALL muscles, or is it a misconception? I heard someone say to remember to keep the gluteus flexed to avoid _haemorr***ds_
That's a huge question and one of the keys to understanding Sanchin kata effectively. We address this in our extensive instructional DVD. However, to answer briefly: no you are not 'flexing' your muscles although your muscles are working to hold specific structure during sanchin kata. As an example you may be focusing on spiralling of the forearms, this action will automatically involve correct use of the muscles. In regards to your question about hemorrhoids: developing this condition is a sure sign of incorrect and harmful sanchin practice. When correct breathing is understood, and control of upward and downward pressure is achieved, hemorrhoids will not be an issue.
@@GKCgoju thanks.
There's a reason Sanchin is called "The three battles".
Where are you based?
We are in Southern California. We have members all over the world, we travel nationally and internationally teaching seminars, and we also have robust online distance learning programs.
Do you keep your tongue at the roof of your pallet when performing Sanchin?
Typically on the inhale.
