Tekki Sandan

Tekki Sandan, has 36 movements. It is a very quick kata, having a rapid timing with many consecutive techniques performed without pause. T3 offers some new techniques such as zenwan-uchiotoshi, zenwan-hineri, and zenwan-gedan-furisute.

Many of the techniques in T3 are executed with the "added hand" (soete) for additional support. T3 teaches the student that the added hand may also be used for grabbing or trapping an opponent's techniques.

Much of the bunkai of this kata revolve around this idea of "trapping," meaning to immobilize the adversary's attacking limbs so that they cannot make further attacks.
