Junior Black Belt Program

FOR PURPLE BELTS

 

 

By now you should be able to do Sanchin Short Form easily.

 

It's time to learn the longer version of

SANCHIN KATA.

 

We'll call it

SANCHIN KATA LONG FORM

in class

but this is actually how

SANCHIN KATA is done.

 

This will be the first time you will turn and continue with your KATA in a different direction.

 

Turning while keeping yourself protected is a good practice and will prepare you for spinning punches and spinning kicks.

 

This KATA is longer so it becomes a bigger challenge.

 

Is your MIND bored? Are you getting distracted? Are you losing count?

 

Is your BODY tired? Are you slowly dropping your arms?  Are you punching as hard as you can

EACH TIME?

 

Are you SPIRITS up? Do you want to give up?  Do you want to cheat? Are you ONLY doing your best when Sensei is looking?

 

These are the battles we must win.


To help you learn and practice at home, you can watch the video and print out the

instructions.
