Using Your Imagination Part 7 - Sanseru Kata

_ Your foot movements should resemble the time lapse of a hypnotic Cobra snake.

From the first kame and punch, imaging you are trying to extinguish a lighted candle without touching it.

On the retraction and the turning of the hands, imaging you are doing Sanchin breathing without noise, at the same time your arms are as powerful as a boa constrictor, until the Juji Uke, which resembles the bite of the Cobra.

_ The kick, elbow and punch suggests a stampede of horses.

From the Juji Uke think like the stealth of a tiger, ready to pounce and surprise it’s pray.

As to the last move, this resembles a begging or happy dog.

The Element that this Kata portrays is Fire.
