duki, Jun duki or a jab in boxing, is used to activate sequence of techniques because it can be delivered without big movement of the body.

Jun geri is useful to stop your opponent's attack. You can deliver Jun geri with small action. Speed is very essential for this technique. Gyaku geri is a powerful straight kick. But, it is rather easy to dodge it because it travels long way. Apply it after you make your opponent unable to guard or dodge, that is, after putting him in unstable condition. Mawashi geri is a hook kick to hit your opponent horizontally. To deliver Mawashi geri, geri lift your knee aimed at the target and then give your foot circular momentum by turning your hip.

Tips and explanations Back

Basic technical explanations and tips are listed below.
Direction of force in Nuki waza Back

By understanding the right direction of the force you have to apply in Nuki waza, you can easily escape from a grip. Those animals developed thumb can grab things tightly. That means if you can make a force of the thumb grabbing your wrist weaken, you can easily escape from the grip. Thumb can resist against the forces shown by red arrows in the left figure, but can not resist forces shown by green arrows. Shorinji Kempo utilize this fact, using (1) direction are Kote nuki and others, using (2) direction are Kiri nuki and others. Another way of escaping is applying force in the direction of locking techniques and make your opponent release his grip because of the pain the locking techniques causes.
Meuchi Back
Once your opponent is prepared for your next move, it may have become difficult to execute a technique, that is, your waza on him. Especially if your opponent is stronger than you, some special techniques are called for. You should try to make it difficult for your opponent to concentrate on the essential elements that determine the effectiveness of your techniques. This category of techniques is called Meuchi and consists of flapping at eyes with fingertips. Delivering Meuchi, you can create a window of opportunity to getting rid of his concentration. You do not have to actually flap at your opponent's eye balls, just waving your finger tips in front of the eyes is sometimes enough. Use Meuchi whenever you try to execute Juho.
Kagite Back
Kagite is a typical guard style used for preventing your opponent from controlling you once your opponent has seized your wrist. Once one of your hands is in your opponent's grip, do not try to free your hand by pulling it directly back towards you.Your opponent, with greater strength, will hold fast to your hand. Rather, treating your hand-arm-body system as a lever, try to

23/06/2009 11:03
Do not try to pull the hand grabbed.
Point in the right description to see Kagite.
position the fulcrum of that system close to your body. The leverage gained will magnify your strength. This is a simple physical principle. Open your hand as illustrated in the left figure. By opening your hand, your wrist becomes thicker and this makes your opponent a little bit difficult to fasten the grip. However, this gives your opponent a chance to grip your finger at the same time. Therefore do not be in Kagite style for long. Move to the next technique as soon as possible. Remember, to effect this guard style, put your body and not your opponent's grip, near the fulcrum.
Sankaku shuhou or Triangle guard position Back

Sankaku shuhou is a guard technique against your opponent's offense, trying to twist your arm in a direction shown in the left Fig. Do not pull your wrist toward you, but rather put yourself near to your wrist seized and put it as close as your side body. Your arm will make a triangle shown in the left figure below. As you can see, your opponent's grip has already weakened just after you take Sankaku shuhou guard position.
Point in the right description to see Sankaku shuhou.
Nisoku tenkai Back

As illustrated at left, Nisoku tenkai, which means two steps full turn, is a way to turn 180 degree in two steps. The quickness and economy of movement this allows is important in throwing techniques.
Tips on Boshikyu Back

Boshikyu , or thenar, refers to the part of your palm just at the base of your thumb. Usig Boshikyu, the aim is to control and push the back of your opponent's hand in such a way that your arm and your opponent's arm form a straight line.
One man training:(Figs. below) (1)Put the palm of your left hand against the back of your right hand so that both palm faces you. Your left hand is to execute this maneuver on your right hand, which plays the part of your opponent's hand.
2 of 3
23/06/2009 11:03
(2)Hook the middle and ring fingers of your left hand around the fleshy base of your right thumb. (3)Using the leverage afforded by your palm, press the Boshikyu of your left hand against the back of your right hand to fold your right wrist. You shall be able to easily fold your right wrist as far as it will go and, thereby, point the fingers of you right hand at your chest. This will make your arms form a straight line (4)Twist your left hand to check a direction of the force you should apply to give the maximun pain. You can feel how the leverage gives your left hand control over your right hand.
In step 3, it is important to press your Boshikyu against the back of your opponent's hand and not twist your opponent's wrist with your thumb. Beginners sometimes try to twist their opponent's wrist, however this allows your opponent to escape from your grip. It does not work to your advantage at all, especially when your opponent is stronger than you.
Yubidori Back
This technique is used to lock an opponent's wrist and thumb. Use your Boshikyu firmly attached to the back of his hand and twist his thum in the direction shown in the right Fig. (C)Copy right, K.Hayashi.
