A bit of history: Sanchin
Sanchin is the fundamental form of the Naha-te styles. My cousins learned it in Uechi Ryu and I recently was talking with another Uechi-ryu 5th dan, and we were discussing the point of the form. While he was aware of the widespread use of the form in styles like Goju-ryu, he did not know about its chinese roots in white crane / whooping crane. Many of the ‘hakkutsuru’ movements that we associate with the crane had their start there as well. As luck (and youtube) would have it, I found a whooping crane Sanchin / Samchien video:(Please click through to watch)
