Seiyunchin

To Control and Pull in Battle (制引戦) A derivative of a very old Chinese kata probably originated from the Hsing-I system. Seiyunchin is a long and strength-sapping kata.  It contains pulling and gripping techniques, throwing techniques and requires a strong upper and lower body, good breath control and lots of stamina.  There are no kicks in this kata. The techniques are well suited for practical, close-in fighting. Seiyunchin is the most-performed kata at tournaments throughout the world. Watch Higaonna Sensei perform Seiyunchin:
