sushi_error Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I started karate back in September and currently am a white belt. I am having difficulty remembering the open hand techniques:- shuto sakotsu uchi- shuto sakotsu uchi komi- shuto hizo uchi- shuto uchi uchi- shuto ganmen uchiI have a list of terms, but I don't find the descriptions clear enough. Can anyone please help me out (e.g. direct me to images, videos)? Thanks so much in advance.
Wa-No-Michi Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Google +/- Youtube is your friend.Type those into them and you will come up trumps.WNM.ps.. the hand itself may be held in "Shuto" which = Knife hand in Japanese Karate, the other words you mention refer to either stances or direction of strike...Uchi=inward etc.Think they are Kyokoshin references perhaps.

Kruczek Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Google is your best friend for this. I looked it up and found some stuff, personally never used those terms before, but after seeing the video I have a better idea of what you want.Also in the future, include your style or school/website so that others from that style can give you better suggestion.

white owl Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I agree with what was said above also maybe order a reference book on your style or similar. That can be very helpful with terminology and for example your open hand techniques.
