Sanchin..anyone able to help with this?

[jwU]

I had it mentioned to me that sanchin either involves 3 gods or 3 battles. Is anyone able to clarify if it is 3 gods or battles?

If it 3 gods does anyone know the names of the 3 gods?

If it is 3 battles ,is it refering to a specific 3 battles ??

 

[Imua Kuntao]

It is three battles and refers to the three battles in the kata, battles being combinations or techniques against 3 differnt opponents.

It refers to the 3 inner battles that you develop as you practice the kata, those being physical, mental, spiritual/emotional. It can also refer to the 3 "centers of ki/chi" in the body and how to unite them.

Sanchin can also translate to "three conflicts" instead of battles.
