We are starting weekly online karate classes from the 3rd of August 2024: email dojo@grkc1978.com to get added to the sign-up list. Sanchin kata in Goju Ryu is famous for the demands it makes on the body, as well as its ability to help karate practitioners develop better lung capacity.

In this step-by-step video, we go over the sequence of Sanchin, break down some of the moves and common technical issues, look at the correct and safest way to do the kata, and build on the anatomy discussion from our previous video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVOI6T71M4Y
