(“Three Battles”) represents mind, body, and spirit.
When you are young you practice Sanchin kata with all your strength to develop power.
As you get older, your focus should shift to developing the movements of the kata into smooth, flowing techniques, as well as utilizing strength and power. After you have practiced Sanchin kata over a period of time you will be able to concentrate all of your power in the tanden (concentration is placed on tightening the muscles of the lower abdomen and preparing the spirit for combat). This accomplishment, many believe will not only help you to live a longer life, but will also help you to deal with stressful situations in a much calmer manner.
