Sanseru, written in Chinese characters, is the
number 36. Symbolically, it is calculated from
the formula 6 x 6. The first 6 represents eye,
ear, nose, tongue, body and spirit. The second
6 symbolizes colour, voice, smell, taste, touch
and justice. Sanseru is from the Goju-ryu system,
with slight differences between Okinawan and Japanese
Goju-ryu. These styles have many kata names derived
from Chinese numbers symbolizing certain Buddhist
concepts

Description:
(36 techniques)
Sanseryu is a kata of 36 different fighting exercises.
The number 36 could be symbolic of the 36 families
who settle in Kume village (Kume Mura), Okinawa
in 1392. This is a more advance form which relies
on strong kicking ability and also koshi. Koshi
is the ability to use your hips to pack power
in your technique. Another characteristic in Sanseryu
is the foot placing after the Sokuto (edge of
foot kick). This is very important when performing
certain techniques.
