"Hi, I am Dave Nelson, and I am a Sanchin-holic."
Most of you who know me know I am fanatical about this Kata. If there is a version of it, no matter from what style, I want to see it and do it. So far I have studied versions from Goju-ryu, Isshin-ryu, Goshindo, Uechi-ryu, Kyokushinkai, Ngo Cho Kun Kung Fu and Feeding Crane Kung Fu. They are all great!
I am always on the hunt for versions and interpretations of Sanchin and I am looking for other Sanchin-holics as well. I know you are out there.
If you know of or have a post or comment about how you interpret the 'Three Battles' , or know of others, I would love to hear from you. Whether it is straightline traditional or so far out there people question your sanity, I want to read it. Nothing is too far out there.
Hope to hear from you,
Shinzen
Don't know if you have seen this one:

(Indirectly commenting zenHG), Sanchin is a powerful karate training tool that is often misused, abused, and misunderstood, but esential. But don't get me off on it. I'll remain silent.
Thank You Mr. Morales-Santo Domingo. I had not seen this. It's great!
ReplyDeleteI will have my students tune in.
and ZenHG...I agree with you...Sanchin is often misunderstood, abused and misused...that is why it is so fun to study!
