Thanks for demonstrating the defensive and offensive bunkai of sanchin. The fingers strike - nukite was very impressive, I wouldn’t dare strike with my fingers like that, unless in something soft like an armpit. Very impressive

[@PaSaRyuMrPhoenix]

The “nukite” strikes are called kakushiken. It represents/mimics a crane pecking with its beak. 👍🏻

J'aime beaucoup le karate
Pour moi c'est la recherche martial la plus approfondie
J'ai déjà pratiquer le shotokan et le kyokushinkai
Et je dois dire que je style uechi-ryu me plaît énormément
Osu !!

Sanchin in Uechi-ryu is obviously different from Goju-ryu. A lot of Muchimi in Goju and it is Chiru no Chan Chan in Uechi. Different roots of the same tree :)

Does anyone know at 1:07 what type of wood and what cross section dimensions are usually used for these types of breaks? (Ie with the long wood across the belly, I sometimes see it across the leg or on the forearm as well)
