Some content to approach ,I push out from Sanchin more than I pull back to it ,I spend more time on Sanchin than any other facet of the system ,so it remains in front of the material always ,more is radiated outwards in this way ,I don’t develop intent in sparring it’s tested in sparring ,intent to do anything is developed in Sanchin .
Modern uechi does all those things that bring one back to Sanchin ,but this can be by passed by ,in not really leaving Sanchin in the first place .

Basically I use two approach’s : one is designed to attract new students to public dojos ,the second is my own personal home dojo,were i hope to feed more committed parties back too .

It’s a bit like seisan was the thirteenth room kata etc ,I tend to think you did not get to that room unless there was the developed attitude and you were truly ready to take that kata on ,so it’s not some were you attain to in a pre-mature state ,so you have to be ready ,very very keen to advance one’s self ,for me Ones Sanchin development needs to be ahead of all other aspects so in this way ,you are gonna fight straight out of Sanchin ,plus you are going to feed this development forewords into what Seisan offers ,so speed and power etc is fed from Sanchin to say a pad drill.

So in the first approach I am trying to get more effort into Sanchin ,but in the second approach I expect maturity towards Sanchin ,I will never forget the excitement I felt. When taking Seisan on board ,so I want this transition to be exiting and not simply a black belt kata ,I want it to have a thirteenth room aura .

Taking into account personal change over the years ,and having considerable experience of real fights in rough and ready terms ,I instinctively new fights,self defence could be multi sided ,but just grew up with things taken things for granted at times .
To me approach is vital to getting to grips with the essentials of combat ,so Sound workable principles are a must to a approach .no matter how much skill and quality is presented to the student ,sound commitment from students,or no approach will work in taking a student towards objectives.

A first battle in it’s own right would be to get some to review is / her motions from the harmony perspective .

Yes it’s understandable ,and it’s a part of research. As we go forwards subjects have to be brought under the spotlight checked double checked ,it’s the same with the tuck .

When uechiryu was passed to the west ,exaggerated aspects came too ,I personally think the first practitioners and afterwards others learned things in a rapid way ,with big gaps in further instruction ,plus I also think the okinawans too were altering what was a Chinese system .

Now I am not saying this Chinese system was picture perfect ,passing things on intact is subject to all manner of things,the create change ,we live in a world of quick fixes ,were things are not always seriously studied and tested and re tested to validate .

Also over exaggerated it tightens muscles on upper front thigh ,which impedes better motion .then say you kick ,the tuck is slightly lost ,and then you would have to re tuck ,waisting time .
