Sacred Trinity Of Kata – You Need To Practice These Three Kata Every Day – Right Now!

14 Nov

In these unsettling and perhaps dire times – 

A very important post from Sensei John Szmitkowski and FREE resource! The following was re-published, with permission, from Sensei John’s blog.

“This isn’t the way I planned on introducing you to my ‘Sacred Trinity” of Kata, but recent unsettling domestic and global events have moved up my time frame. So, let’s get into it.”

Without rehashing all the gory details, the world, including the United States wherein I reside is in turmoil, chaos and war threatens. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit doomsday-ish. Based upon my own Esoteric Kata daily practice and online commentary and research, many spiritual leaders are warning of the need to fortify and prepare oneself not only physically, but mentally and spiritually for the chaos ahead. Being a martial artist, you may already have three of the most powerful tools at your disposal to do just that.

There are three very powerful Esoteric Kata in Karate-Do. They are so powerful that when I learned the last of the three, Sensei told me, “Never perform this Kata (Suparunpei) with an unclean spirit.” That was thirty-five years ago and I remember the comment and discussion as if it were yesterday. I call these three powerful esoteric kata, the “Sacred Trinity” of Kata.

The Sacred Trinity of Kata are, in the order that one usually learned them:

  • •Sanchin Kata;
  • •Seienchin Kata, and;
  • •Suparunpei (Pechurin Kata, in Okinawan dialect)

If you know these three kata, you MUST start practicing them everyday. They are imbued with esoteric spiritual capabilities that will sustain and nurture you during the current and future chaotic and war-like events which seem to indicate an escalation. Many spiritual leaders are offering their insights into the coming days of turmoil, wars and other impediments to a peaceful existence. I’ll jump into the fray with Esoteric Kata advice – daily practice of the Sacred Trinity of Kata. In future posts, I’ll delve into the esoteric import of performing the Sacred Trinity of Kata daily. For now – start today!

My daily Esoteric Kata Ritual Meditation session includes the Sacred Trinity Kata. Alternatively, I perform my Sanchin-Dai Kata as a substitute when necessary. I tend to practice the Sacred Trinity Kata, after performing five preliminary Kata, and in the following order: Seienchin, Suparunpei and Sanchin. I will elaborate further on the esoteric reasons for doing so in future articles. For now, again – start practicing the Sacred Trinity everyday. If you do not know all three Kata, do what you do know. As you practice, for now, simply open your heart. Seek guidance, wisdom, compassion and truth as you perform the Kata. If you are religious, you may silently add a prayer as you perform the Kata. I have done just that, in various forms with all three Kata. There are links below you can access for more. 

I will be posting articles and videos to assist you in the event that you do not know all three of the Sacred Trinity Kata. I have developed a full Kata to encapsulate the esoteric imports of each of the Sacred trinity Kata. I hope to have this available to you shortly.

In the meantime, you should:

  • Third, you should immediately supplement your daily efforts with the following. I wholeheartedly encourage you to become familiar with:

I’ll post future articles in the new “Sacred Trinity” category to the right of this page. Check back often. In closing, please perform the Sacred Trinity Kata daily with a pure heart and a clean spirit. You’ll thank me later. I remain,
