Shogeri - that was a really good article on Sanchin. Of course Seikichi Toguchi has a slightly different take on Miyagi's sudden change of Sanchin right before he died. But that really doesn't take away from the fact of what Sanchin is, and that article had some very thorough descriptions of Shime and what goes into it.

I've personally never seen a child go through Sanchin - but our adult females go through the same Shime that children would go through (according to the article) - in other words, they don't take strikes, but the pressure points are still touched to make sure the right tension and stances are happening.

In my school Sanchin and Tensho are taught at Orange belt level. I've just started studing it.

for us tensho isnt in the regular katas, but in our research katas for all ranks at black belt you need to learn two katas not in our dojos main katas, or research katas. tensho is very fun, i even tried using it in a tournement once. its not very useful as a tournement kata in my opinion. safia is taght at brown belt level.

Tensho isn't taught in the schools I train at until one reaches Shodan, but we also have a shortened version of Sanchin Kata which is taught to students at the time someone reaches Shichikyu.

I am possibly repeating myself, in that Tensho was taught at the Shodan level in our school as well.

I learned sanchin earlier on (the original movement, but with closed hands), but do not recall if it was originally taught at a later rank or not. If it was, then it was at sempai level (brown).

If I ever implement it within my own style, then it will be at a beginner level, right along with Qigong 2 Circle Standing.

Under the goju ryu versus shorin ryu thread I posted this link:

It has many umcompressed videos to some traditional kata.
