, also pronounced as Seienchin (セイエンチン) and the latter often written as 征遠鎮, is a kaishu karate kata. In the lineage of Goju-ryu, it taught by that style's founder, Chojun Miyagi, who in turn learned it from his teacher, Kanryo Higaonna. Seiunchin can be interpreted to mean "pulling".
Meibukan karateka believe that this kata originated in xingyiquan and that Seiunchin's direct translation has been lost. Meibukan karateka refer to it as "Marching far Quietly".
