-This kata requires fighting three battles. Your idealized self battles the pessimistic version of yourself, and the pessimistic version of yourself battles your idealized self. While these two sides fight their two battles, a third battle -- the struggle to survive -- occurs in the background. Regardless of which of your aspects prevail -- good or evil, right or wrong -- your basic needs must be met (e.g., food, water, warmth, etc.).

 ==Origin==
-Sanchin has its origin in Chinese martial arts, as it strongly resembles ''sam chin'', a form which is is practiced by several kung-fu styles (e.g., White Crane, Five Ancestor Fist). There are also obvious parallels to Iron Shirt [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong chi-gung (qigong)]. However, any further details have been lost to history -- while many origin stories exist, each school or style is adamant that their version is true; most of these stories conflict with each other; and no one can prove any of their claims. As such, many variations of this kata exist.
