Karate | Okinawan Goju-ryu | Seiunchin kata
In this sample clip, the choreography of the kata is shown with a certain speed and rhythm intended for group training as practiced within the school of Martial Mindfulness.
Except for the embusen (format/pattern) of a specific kata, the rhythm, speed, details and even execution of techniques can differ per individual according to his or her interpretation and imagination of the bunkai (combat application) and personal abilities and preferences while performing.
Within the Martial Mindfulness school, both hard and fast, soft and slow and/or combined movements are part of the kata practice. From reactive and concentrated actions, arising from our fighting spirit (resulting in a more closed tunnel vision), we try to open up again through slow movements and silence (pause/stop). Practicing slowing down and pausing (no movement) are an essential part of the exercise. Depending on your goals, you can pay more or less attention to one or the other.
The name Seiunchin or Seenchin/Seienchin means "to remove while marching calmly" and "to control, pull, and suppress."
The kata cannot be traced be traced but probably originated in China.
In Seiunchin, the shiko dachi is employed particularly often. This stance strengthens the leg muscles and is very suitable to direct the force during throwing techniques upwardly and to remain stable while experiencing resistance. This kata also employs unique techniques in which one arm/hand supports another.
