Sanchin-Dai embodies the principle characteristics and components of each of the three individual kata that make up the Sacred Trinity. The Sanchin-Dai Kata utilizes the Sacred Trinity in the following order: Seienchin Kata, Suparunpei Kata (mandala section) and Sanchin Kata. It is therefore, a condensed version of the three kata.
Esoteric Sanchin-dai Kata begins with the esoteric path of Seienchin Kata. It then proceeds to the mandala module of Suparunpei Kata. If you do not know either Kata, you may use this link to learn the mandala section: https://senseijohn.me/2024/01/03/sanchin-dai-kata-learn-for-free-lesson-two-suparunpei-the-mandala-1-module/. .
Sanchin-dai Kata concludes with the last three moves of Sanchin Kata with and an added Mawashi-uke at the end (Similar to mandala number one). If Sanchin Kata is not in your kata repertoire, then you can learn my version in the video below. Note that the video starts from the transition posture after the mandala module using one mandala. The transition portion for the full three mandala module appears at the end of the video.
You have now completed my Sanchin-Dai Kata using the one mandala version. You can now add in the second and third mandal for a more complete esoteric experience.
A “Two-for-one” video of the full Sanchin-Dai Kata ( 1 Mandala version ) for the tutorial on the 3 mandala version (Lesson Four), please see the page-tab on the right for Sacred Trinity. After the recent death of my father and previously my father and younger brother, it was left to me to manage the estates which included selling the house we all lived in since 1974. I performed a cleansing kata for the buyer and performed the single mandala version of the Sanchin-Dai Kata for your use and also as an additional cleansing kata. Enjoy but pardon the emptiness of the environment.
One final word. After I conclude either the Sacred Trinity of Kata or the Sanchin-dai Kata, I perform the Ghost Hand Kata and sit in Zazen. You can learn more about my Ghost Hand Kata using this convenient link: https://senseijohn.me/2023/06/30/katannabis-unique-ghost-hand-kata-learn-this-powerful-kata-for-free/ . .
