Okay well I started karate class May 12. Anyway this was my frist karate class and myself being in the poor psyichal conditon I am had to take a breather about 30 minutes into it. During this time my Sensai decided to show the others the punching techniques. Well I missed out what the japanese names for them were, and the second class I still had no luck remembering.

 

Anyway can someone please tell me the japanese names for

 

left jab

 

right reverse punch

I'm not able to ask my sensei right now. The dojo is incredibley crowded and my sensei has a knack for escaping the scene rather quickly.

Then ask your seniors. What did you practice before that has you so afraid to ask questions?

 

On Shudokan: Is that the Toyama Kanken lineage, or teh Goju-Ryu lineage? I know of one Goju dojo in Yakima, but I thought they were IOGKF.

Uki = block

 

Tsuki = punch

 

Geri = Kick

 

Mae geri = Front snap kick

 

Mawashi geri = Roundhouse kick

 

Yoko geri = Side kick

 

Mae kegato geri = Front heel kick

 

Ushiro geri = Back kick

 

Hisa geri = knee strike

 

Seiken tsuki = reverse punch

 

Tate tsuki = vertical punch

 

Utski tsuki = palm-up punch

 

Maewashi tsuki = roundhouse punch

 

Empi tsuki = Elbow strike
