Eighty year old Master Yu Yu Lin performs the San Zhan Pattern (Three Wars) of the Eating Crane Style (Shi He Quan). San Zhan is a key foundation pattern across many different southern styles of kung fu, from where it has been exported into Okinawa and Japan to become the Sanchin Kata of Karate. The basic pattern is designed to practise one.s stance and posture and build up internal strength through breathing exercises. On top of this each style introduces its own characteristic movements thus making the pattern its own.
