Angus Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I need a bit of a hand with some terminologies... This form of freestyle karate i do now is Goju based with boxing, aikido, kickboxing rah rah rah, and we use Japanese terminology. I need to know what the following terms mean: Uchi (snapping strikes) Uraken Ganmen Uraken Hizo Uraken s-h-i-t-o Uraken sayu Uraken shomen Shuto Gamnen Shuto Sukutsu Shuto Naka Shuto sukutsu uchi komi Ate (smashing strikes) Jodan Hiji Ate Chudan Hiji Ate Age Hiji Ate Ushiro Hiji Ate Oroshi Hiji Ate Sorry if it takes some time but thanks for any replies.... I know that shuto is knifehand so the other snapping one must best the backfists but i don't know the particulars. Ta!

Karateka Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Different styles have different names. Hiji-ate means elbow. Chudan is middle, Age is rising, Jodan is upper, Ushiro is reverse, No idea what oroshi is. Uraken is like uchi, but it is more like a thrust then a snap back. All the other names are either directions or ways to do it. I am sure the others will help you out on this one.

Tobias_Reece Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 This may be a bit different, but ****TE means under the arm - we use the techniques in several different ways in Kobudo I dont know if this is the same though Tobias "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

Angus Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 Yoda's my new best friend... thanx man, i thought i was gonna have a hell of a time trying to find those names out... that other backfist is a short one with the bottom fist faving upwards... it's supposed to be the quickest and weakest strike... Thanks a lot mate! Angus :up: Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I find the Japanese terms escape the memory very quickly if not used on a regular basis. Like when I am working on a kata I don't think turn migi zenkutsu dachi ken migi age uke. I think turn in zenkutsu dachi and head block. My aging memory just isn't retaining the terms very well.
