Sanchin Basic Analysis [Bunkai] (三戦基本分解)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ธ.ค. 2024
- These bunkai are simple applications and follow the motions of the kata very closely. They are very much "what you see is what you get" applications. This is appropriate given that Sanchin is itself a kihon-kata. More complex bunkai and combinations from Sanchin (for instance dealing with multiple punches) will be posted at some point in the future.
Techniques are intentionally performed in a staccato 1-2-3 rhythm to facilitate learning. Once they are learned it is a very simple matter to do the techniques in one smooth continuous motion.
------------------------------------------------------------
Some of you may be wondering why it took me so long to start posting new material?
As many people know, I got my butt kicked by Guillain Barre Syndrome (aka "French Polio" or "Landry's paralysis"). The loss of muscle mass and physical coordination has been fairly pronounced. The diminished level of physical activity has not done my waistline any favors (neither did turning 40 for that matter). ;-)
I have recovered some of my strength and coordination, but I am still pretty self-conscious about my clumsy hands and plodding footwork. I'm not real happy about the weight gain either.
This has made me very reluctant to complete my planned bunkai video projects. I have promised several people videos on Naihanchi trapping, Sanchin Bunaki, and a short clip showing three Okinawan "sensitivity drills" (my favorite three).
I've recovered enough physical ability to try recording a few things but I have to warn you that you will not be impressed...
However, further procrastination won't provide much incentive to work on regaining my previous skills. So, I am now filming new material for the channel.
Thanks Ryan, very informative as I never thought sanchin had practical application aside from breath control
As a martial artist who has limited kicking ability due to automobile accident I am very grateful to you for doing these videos any Kata form that is primarily hand strikes and certain body movements I can do planning to return to forms over 50 competition including weapons primarily nunchucks and the small Kamas.
By far one of the best analogy on Sanchin. Well done Sensei, well done. OSS!!
Great video and break down of the techniques. There's a lot of information presented concisely in the format you chose. Positive thoughts for a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much for the kind words and well wishes! Coming from you they mean a great deal as I consider you one of the best karateka in the country.
What is the song you used?
Your bunkai are excellent! I've seen others that you've done and really enjoy your insights. It's always good to keep an open mind. There's never just one meaning to any of the moves in kata. Master Shimabuku knew that. One has to be willing to dig deep to find them and they're not for the beginner to see or understand. Thank you for sharing your insights and your humble attitude too.
teddypantelas there is one meaning my friend.
You are an inspiration,keep up the good work,all the very best.
I learned some Kyushu applications very similar to this years ago. There was an open block, then a strike to an inner nerve near the bicep and an open strike to the throat with a ridge hand. I practice Uechi-ryu so the ridge hand is taken from angling the straight sanchin strike in our system slightly. Always good to question and explore your art.
Nice video and applications. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your insight .please keep it up .The Toudi lives
Simply I Say ,Scientific Evolution for the Best Results.thanks for sharing,Appreciate Bravo
Awesome sensei thanks OSS
Ryan mate you have to remember Myagi changed the open hand to closed. Please rethink what you have in the first half of the video based on this. I assume that you study Goju? If so whilst the twin arm lock is ok it doesn’t represent a finishing technique unless taken to its conclusion by a throw. This is however only a basic technique I am sure you know many more. Also you have not shown the block/push/strike section. I wonder if you are sharing fully. Anyway I would love to start a conversation with those interested in form, rensuku kumite, practical strengthening and application.
Great insight
Very nice and intuitive stuff. Thanks for sharing this! Osu!
I very much enjoyed this video and am looking forward to practicing it with a partner.
If I can give this video more than like I will
Osu! What system of Karate do you practice? I practice Kyokushin and Sanchin is one of our katas.
The reason why I ask is because our version is a bit different from those of other systems despite our Goju-Ryu roots.
Awesome
I really don't agree that this is a "What you see is what you get" application. There's a lot of movement that's either being added or modified in these bunkai. Sure that's not unprecedented, but what about the unmodified motion? There's a lot there when you stop thinking in terms of just blocking, punching, or grabbing an arm.
+Paul Holsinger I guess we will have to disagree to a large extent. Other than doing them in a staccato 1... 2... 3... rhythm (when kata and actual real world application does the movements in a smooth 1-2 [with no break between the two beats], I believe that the movements match the kata almost precisely... Especially with respect to Morote-chudan-uke, chudan-uke/gyaku-zuki, and tora-guchi (making very small adjustments regarding target etc depending on whether one is on the inside and so on). As explained in the video description the staccato 1... 2... 3... rhythm is being employed to facilitate learning... and that once the techniques have been learned, doing them is a smooth non-staccato manner is fairly easy (with a small investment of time and effort). The stuff in the middle is admittedly significantly more modified (and is based on a very similar sequence in Tomari-Seisan which matches what I am doing better than Goju-ryu Sanchin). I do that sometimes... ie I use similar applications to other applications to other kata with similar sequences... Sometimes they fit better than others. I am willing to acknowledge this case may be one where the fit is not so great.
I want to say, I do really like your technical execution but all of your examples modify the angle, direction, and timing of the arms, hips, and torso from what is seen the kata. Even an untrained eye could see this. My grip here is that no (and I mean absolutely none) modification is necessary to get even more realistic applications out of these motions. I really respect what you are doing but I think we need to acknowledge any modifications when talking about bunkai otherwise we risk loosing the meaning of a lot of purposeful motion. There's a reason the opening movement of synchin isn't practiced with a double block to one side and then a backfist. There is purpose to the symmetrical structures and motions done as the arms come out in the opening. These purposes cannot be preserved if modifications like this are promoted as strict bunkai.
+Paul Holsinger I am *always* ready to amend and improve my understanding of Okinawan martial arts based on whatever new (or at least *new to me*) information becomes available. I would be very eager to learn any and all applications which mirror kata movements *even more closely* ... (regardless of how difficult I currently believe this may be possible).... That said, it does seem that you may (based on your most recent post) still be hung up on what I explained from the beginning as merely a learning aid... Perhaps, I need to re-film these techniques using correct *real world* timing to make sure people are evaluating what I am *truly* trying to offer, not merely the dumbed-down, simplified learning aid I taught. In any event, I am *ALWAYS* willing to adapt, reform, or even radically alter, my understanding based on new *concrete* information... Specifically referring to new applications demonstrated in person or at least on video....
+Ryan Parker Short of that (ie new applications demonstrated in person or at least on video), I will have to adhere closely to the best understanding/applications I currently have... and put any supposedly better (but currently unrevealed) methods on the back-burner... at least until somebody is actually willing to show them to me.
Just saying.
With music it is way better! It was boring and even hard to follow without it.
It is a good video, as the one that deals with naihanshi aplications. But all resembles the trapping hands from Kung fu. Not strange if we have in mind the origins of Okinawa karate: China and its Kung fu". Going back to the origin for understanding the present is good.Francisco
