Sanseiru is the sixth of the nine traditional Zen Do Kai katas.

This is the third form of the second group of Kata. Its purpose is to exemplify the devastating forces of nature. The practitioner, having travelled through the storm in the fourth form and the lightning of the fifth form, is required, in this form, to lock the left foot to the floor around which the body will form a full sweeping circle and execute twenty one devastating manoeuvres. The student is thus centred in the eye of a tornado, protected by its walls which have become deadly.
