Sandifer Newbie Registered: 02/21/02 Posts: 22 Loc: Shelton, WA USA	Has anyone heard of the kata Soshin? I am aware of one called Sochin. If you have can you share any information on it. I have not been able to find any references. Thanks in advance. Sandifer M. Deer

JohnL Professional Poster Registered: 03/24/03 Posts: 4309 Loc: NY, NY, USA	Sochin is one of the Shotokan blackbelt kata. It is a powerfull kata with many double handed techniques. When used in competition it is generally chosen by bigger karateka, as it tends to suit that build of person more so than a lighter person. I believe it also exists in Shito-Ryu, but I haven't seen it done so couldn't tell you how it compares. I've never heard of a kata callsed Soshin but will try and check JohnL

The Shito Ryu version comes from Arakaki along with Unsu and Niseishi (Nijushiho). The opening is a little like Unsu. Three consective cat stances forward, with double yoku ukes (Outside blocks), and one hand pulls back and strikes. Just as in Sachin, and several other Naha-te kata. -Kakushiite

JohnL[/QUOTE] I'd add that it's main purpose is to train in the use of sochin- (Also called fudo- ) dachi, in a similar way as Hangetsu Kata is meant to train in the use of hangetsu- dachi.
