BeccyGani Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What is a WA TSUKI / ZUKI ? All descriptions say it's a 'two-arm, horizontal circle thrust.' which I can't get my head around. If there's a diagram, photo or video of this technique I would be very grateful if it was shared with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaiguy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Maybe you're thinking of mawashi tsuki? Here's a brief clip, although it's not the best presentation of the technique I've ever seen.

BeccyGani Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks, but Wa Tsuki uses two arms in all the descriptions I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaiguy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Sorry, two arms. In Shotokan we have a technique called hasami tsuki that might fit.

bassaiguy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Couldn't do it, but here's a site with a decent pic of the technique: http://www.karatekas.com/tecnicas/tsuki/tsukiJ.htm "Honour, not honours." ~ Sir Richard Francis Burtonhttp://oronokarate.weebly.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojobo Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 As I understand it, Shito-ryu has a double circle fist punch called Wa-zuki.In Wado we have a Wa-uke which is a technique where both arms block above the head with elbows slightly bent forming a circle.It is so named because the circle that the arms create resembles the appearance of the Kanji for the word "Wa"和In Karate, techniques are often named as a result of the shape they form compared to the Kanji.Yama-zuki is another example of this, Yama means mountain and the Kanji for mountain is 山.The arms in the Yama-zuki are the two smaller upright strokes, and the slightly longer central stroke is your head/body.Don't know whether that helps, but I would suggest that the technique is circular in form/appearance.bassaiguy - hasami means to pinch - ie a strike from both sides.Sojobo I know violence isn't the answer... I got it wrong on purpose!!!http://www.karatedo.co.jp/wado/w_eng/e_index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
