KarateKid7 Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 does anyone kno or understand the significance of the dragon breath employed in the sanchin kata (karate's form of moving zen)? "Life is a journey, not a destination""Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless""Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do"
Why_Worry Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 In the style i practice there is a kata called I-Hon kata which also does breathing techniques. In fact its basically all breathing with a little moving. You breath out to make the chi move into the other parts of your body which moves yoru body however you want or doesnt move it however you want. They thing is if your muslces are tense, the chi cant flow. You need to relax and breath and mvoe from your center (a above your lower area) (search hara on google if you dont know wher eyou center of chi is). I just allows you to practicing moving your chi, but just to say something all of the katas in karate, form what i have learned, can be refered to as moving zen, but sanchin focuses more on it for people starting the kata. Focus
