Sanchin (三戦) means "three battles," and has been described as a
sort of moving meditation, whose purpose is to unify the mind, body and spirit.
The techniques are performed very slowly and with intensity, so that the student masters precise
movement, breathing, stance, posture, internal strength, and stability of both
mind and body.
Sanchin is a kata of Southern
Chinese origin that is found in the Chinese martial arts of Fujian
White Crane, Five Ancestors, Pangai-noon and the Tiger-Crane Combination style
associated with Ang Lian-Huat. One interpretation of
the name is that it refers to the “internal” battle to unify the physical, mental and spiritual.
