Karate kata

S?chin (??) (Japanese: "Tranquil Force", or "Preserve the Peace")[citation needed] is a kata

practiced in several styles of karate. It may have derived from Dragon style kung fu,[speculation?]

and was taught in the Naha-te school in Okinawa by Seisho Arakaki. It was then passed down to

Shit?-ry?. Later, a variation of it was introduced into the Shotokan style by Gichin Funakoshi's son,

Yoshitaka.[1] Some branches of Tang Soo Do have added it to their curriculum under the name

"Sojin".

The rhythm of the kata is dynamic, characterized by slow, deliberate movements interspersed with

explosive bursts of speed. In the Shotokan version of the kata, the dominant stance is s?chin-dachi

aka fudo-dachi (rooted stance). In the Shit?-ry? version, it employs several stances including

nekoashi-dachi (cat stance) and zenkutsu dachi (front stance). Rhythm is important in its execution.

This kata has been said to develop chi/ki energy.

S?chin is practiced in Shuri Style Karate, not from Naha Style.
