Seiyunchin or Seienchin / Sēenchin ( Japanese 征 遠 鎮 or 征引 鎮 ), Chinese Sui Yun Jing is an old Chinese kata in karate . This kata is taught in Gōjū-ryū and in Shitō-ryū .

Surname

Sui means to follow the changing situations of a fight freely, Yun describes the movement and Jing means power or energy. Seiyunchin teaches you to be able to follow the movements of a fight with constant pressure. The name Seiyunchin can also be interpreted as "pulling".

origin

The origin of this kata can probably be traced back to the internal Xingyiquan system. The techniques only use hand movements and no foot techniques , which is unusual for a kata.

content

Seiyunchin was developed to promote a strong and stable stance . Without a strong stance, it is impossible to develop full strength. That is why the Shiko dachi position is strongly emphasized in Seiyunchin. Seiyunchin also contains several pulling and throwing techniques for close combat situations.
