Sanchin: Mental Visualizations During Resistance Training

Hello everyone, I created the video linked below to share some of my current thoughts on one way to use the mind and the breath when doing what some people call a "hard" sanchin training. (I did the video in one take so please excuse any small mistakes. It is kind of hard to show this trai...

Hi everyone, I writing to announce that I'm stepping away from my roles as administrator, moderator, and contributor to GEM's forums and closer to my roles as a parent, partner, student, and teacher. My thanks to everyone for the many years of spirited discussions, humor, and insights. I'm not stopp...

You are right about one thing, Dana, and in a way you hadn't really thought to bring up. Uechi Ryu's hojoundo bring that ambidexterous training ideology into Kanbun's system in a way that "the big three" (Sanchin, Seisan, Sanseiryu) do not. Telepathic are you? In classical chinese trainin...

Tensho was developed as a variation of Sanchin for open hand technique (reportedly from concepts in the Bubishi). That makes a lot of sense to me. Both forms are training the power development for fundamental movements. There's really only 2-3 techniques in tensho that aren't in Uechi sanchin and t...

I like the potter example because it really highlights what I think is the problem. The potter says "whole body" you say "sanchin" he says "Yes." But what does he mean ? What do you mean? Shana, I think that while your observations are important for the idea the feeling...

Re: Chinkuchi - a hogan term for what?

Chinkuchi was written in katakana (from my understanding the older writings of Okinawa), next to it were the writings for "impact" and then a large display of kanji which reads "destruction power" (Chinkuchi). I do want to note, as I was recently reminded, that hogan was not a w...

Hi Shana,

I don't think you're far off base at all. I think the challenge is that it is very easy to think that any kind of training is going to develop the ability you're describing.

Based on what you're just written, what kind(s) of training do you think would best develop that ability?

Yep, semantic diversity abounds. So I'll share my current understanding and folks can take aim and fire away with other perspectives. Remember - what follows is my understanding and mine alone.

Chinkuchi - a hogan term for what?

I've written about chinkuchi in the past but I'm really interested to know if anyone else has run into/discussed this hogan term with their teachers, in their training, etc. I think the idea gets roundly confused with kime. Kime and chinkunchi aren't the same thing at all. There are endless definiti...

What good will come of such a thing in the consumer market?

-Speakers and others blinded on the platform
-blind pilots
-kids blinding each other
-animal torture

I mean, I'm all for a right to bear arms and all that...but this thing should be classified as a gun, not a "pointer".

Sorry if I gave anyone the impression that I thought there as a correlation between Autism and a vaccine. I don't, never have, and never will. I believe the person who just lost his license should lose his money and go to prison for life, for manslaughter. He started an epidemic of vaccine aversion ...
