For those of you that practice Sanchin kata, I was curious as to where you style places it.
I have heard that Sanchin is the root of Okinawan Karate and is the foundation of all other katas, so it is the first one learned.
I have also heard that Sanchin will slow a student down if it is introduced to early, and therefore is the last kata learned.
If your style does practice it, what style and where in the order does it lie?
Also, I would be interested to hear if your style does not incorporate Sanchin, have you done so for your own study (either sanchin or even something similiar like "iron thread" from Hung Gar).
