Part of my Uechi Ryu Shodan test on October 4, 2008.
Seisan is the second original kata of Uechi Ryu and means, literally, "13." It is interpreted as "13 modes/positions of attack and defense."
The foundations of Sanchin should be strong by the time this kata is applied. Seisan is usually used as the Shodan kata in Uechi.
