Sanchin Kata (Part 2) "Contraction /Expansion" Isshin-Ryu Karate Members Video Michael Calandra

In Part 2) of a multi-part series on Sanchin Kata, I discuss Expansion & Contraction. Proper movement, breathing and muscle contraction are discussed in detail. My study of Chinese arts have given me a different perspective on Sanchin.

Another outstanding video! I have two questions that I was hoping you could answer. Is there any visualization that we should focus on when doing the kata? In the first video you mentioned visualizing air / chi coming down and going around your waist and then up your back? Should that be part of it or should a beginner just focus on the physical aspects (contraction and expansion). Also, should the anus be tightened on contraction or expansion (or is it clenched throughout the kata)? Thank you.
