Toward this end Kanei and other senior Uechi ryu practitioners created four new kata between 1954 and 1958. These were to be used as steppingstones between the three kata that Kanbun Uechi brought from China.

In February of 1910, Kanbun returned to Izumi and took up life as a peasant farmer. On June 26, 1911, Kanei Uechi, KanbunÂ’s eldest son was born. Due to economic reasons Kanbun left Okinawa in 1924 for Kansai, Japan and began working in a cotton mill. Here he met Ryuyu Tomoyose, who with great determination convinced Kanbun to teach him Pangainoon. In 1926 Kanbun, with the assistance of Ryuyu, opened a school in the cotton mill complex where he taught portions of three katas (Sanchin, Seisan, and Sanseiryu) as well as forearm conditioning (Kotekitae) to a select group of students.

This style has 3 forms, they are, Sanchin, Seisan and Sanseiryu. It is said that to understand Sanchin you turn to Seisan, to understand Seisan you turn to Sanseiryu and to understand Sanseiryu you turn to Sanchin. The backbone of this style is Sanchin. This style is based on the movements of the Tiger, The Crane and the Dragon. Uechi-Ryu Karate Do is based on this style.
