Stars | There are 3 stars on the patch. One stands for your Physical state, one for your mental state, and the last for your spiritual state. |
The Guy | The guy on the patch stands for you, (if you are a Sanchin-Ryu student), the missing part of his head stands for open-mindedness. He is fighting on water to symbolize that even though its hard to fight on water, he won't give up. |
The Sanchin Star | The round, red, pointy star on the outside of the patch stands for Chief Grandmaster Dearman and all of his desciples, with each big point representing a desciple, and the smaller points representing his desciples desciples, and so on. |
Yin Yang | There is a reversed Yin Yang in the background of the patch. The white side stands for Sanchin-Ryu, and the black for karate. The reason they're that way is because Sanchin-Ryu is about protecting yourself, Karate is about fighting, therefore they are opposites, like the black and white of the Yin Yang. |
