Thank you for sharing this detailed video. Is there a particular reason why in Uechi Ryu the hand goes across the body first, instead of pulling straight back as it's typically done in Goju-Ryu?
My understanding of the movement is that you are practicing a guiding/push block when performing this motion. I also interpret bringing the hand in to practice strong body mechanics in the clinch, where you might be controlling and pulling in a head, hand, or article of clothing. The inward motion is more stable and stronger against resistance.
Are you referring to the noise made on the exhale? While it may sound like the Goju-Ryu style of breathing, internally it is Uechi-Ryu. I also do the more familiar "Tst" sound with my breath, I just didn't do it in this video. If you are interested I talk more about breathing and how I teach it in this video: th-cam.com/video/dPouy7vKDXg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching and good question! Usually the gi top is taken off for demonstration purposes, for testing so the judges can look more closely at muscle/skeletal structure, or to explain certain aspects of the kata. I wasn't discussing the internal aspects of the kata too deeply that would deem taking the gi top off, so I honestly didn't consider removing it. I don't normally remove it for teaching anyways as I feel I can explain the concepts without doing so. I hope this answer helps!
Thank you for this video! I really liked the way you broke it down with explanations!
Glad it was helpful!

@@leithkarate Thank you, it's interesting to see the explanation from another style.
although its a kata from Uechi Ryu this version of Sanchin, your breathe is completly wrong, this is not goju ryu! its uechi Ryu!

Great video. Any particular reason you didn't do it with the kimono top off like it's traditionally done?
