Jin-i
This kata was originally a part of Genseiryu, but the kata is only trained today in Shinen-ryu and a few autonome organizations that unrightfully claims relations with Genseiryu.
Translated from Japanese Jin (also sometimes spelled as Hito) means person. Jin is a part of a triangle proportion heaven (ten), person (hito) and earth (chi).
The kata Jin-i[edit]
Jin-i, also by some referred to as Jin-i no Kata is a kata once used as a basic kata during the experimental development period of Genseiryu. To mature the style of Genseiryu, it was decided to discard the kata, together with Ten-i and Chi-i. These three kata were eventually 'reformed' as hokei according to Taido standards, and Jinsei no Hokei was created as better suited for the initial principles of body movements. Certain techniques of the Ten-i, Chi-i and Jin-i can be seen in Tensei, Chisei and Jinsei no Hokei.
Nowadays one can see its varieties by styles derived from Genseiryu, such as Ryounkai, Genwakai and Seidokai.
