Hisao Sunagawa Sensei 8th Dan in Jundokan Honbu Dojo November 2013 in Okinawa, Sensei explains very clearly the breathing in Kata Tensho. Sanchin Kata has hard (go) breathing and Tensho has soft (Ju) breathing. Kata Tensho throughout is much softer than Sanchin Kata in all movements. This video is very interesting and instructive. Sunagawa Sensei’s great breathing echoes unforgettably in the Jundokan Dojo.
