Sanchin was used in the past to develop the body and a lot of patience (you will need to wait 3, 4 or more years to get a beautiful body practicing Sanchin daily). It is a good exercise for improve the tonus, the breathing and the posture. If you practice exercises with weights (body building), you will not need do Sanchin. Miyagi was a body building enthusiast, and he liked a lot to work with weights and his school was eminently a gym academy. However, in order to keep the memory of his master Higaonna (*), he split the Higaonna’s kata in two other for teaching beginniers.
Weight work develops quick results, while Sanchin needs 3, 4 years of daily training to get some results. Those times Japanese army needed to prepare physically strong youngs in few months, and Sanchin was too much slow to this. The use of weights was spreaded and adopted in karate since.
However, Sanchin is the bettter physical method to develop discipline, attention, self-control, and good posture.
