A Break From Tradition
This is a classic Karate Kata action, it is a movement that is in many a Kata. The two examples I used in comparison are Bassai and Sanseiru. If you practice it in Bassai, you've got this classic U punch that is also in other Kata like the Heians. In a form Sanseiru (Uechi/Pangainoon version depicted), there's a movement that comes in with stacked Shoken (Ippon Ken). I am blending them, or discussing them together as they are basically the same action.
There are a vast number of possible uses other than simply striking the head and body, as with Kyusho we have so much more potential. For the upper target we are going to use the Hohan Soken targets called Shofu and for the middle target, Denko.
