seisan

Seisan is a traditional Japanese rhythmic pattern used in karate, characterized by a specific sequence of movements performed in a structured, repeatable form. It helps practitioners develop muscle memory, coordination, balance, and focus. Typically practiced as a kata (formal movement sequence), seisan embodies fundamental techniques and principles, serving both as a training tool and a way to preserve martial arts heritage. Its precise execution cultivates discipline, timing, and awareness, making it essential for both beginners and advanced students to deepen their understanding of martial arts principles.
