![]() ![]() You can smash the boards in a competition or destroy your opponent in a street fight with a correctly executed direct hit. This seemingly innocuous little move is devastating when executed by an experienced hand. Remember to strike with your two biggest fingers and aim at the center of your imaginary opponent’s chest. This push-pull effect gives your shot more power when timed correctly. Simultaneously, step forward with your right leg and bring your left hand back to a ready position at your side. Stop just before your elbow is fully extended and don’t lock it or you risk injuring yourself. When you attack, turn your hand so your palm is facing down. To punch with your right hand, perform your punch from a leaning stance at your side, palm up. ![]() To perform a straight punch, start in a neutral position. The straight punch is a favorite among karateka and is incredibly powerful when done correctly. However, it holds a special place in karate because karate is considered to be a very linear, almost spasmodic style. You will see it being used in many styles of martial arts. Karate Moves – The Direct Hit: Choku Zukiīasic straight punches are among the most commonly used martial arts moves. However, these three poses are the most common and the most basic ones that you can use in different situations. They should always be wider than shoulder-width. Bodyweight is usually distributed on both legs, about 60% on the front leg and 40% on the back leg. The front foot should always be straight, the front knee bent to 90 degrees and the back knee rotated no more than 45 degrees. It consists of a straight back with a straight back leg and a slightly bent back knee. In karate, the Zenkutsu Dachi is the most common stance. The pelvis is held upright while the neck and back are kept straight. Both knees are usually bent, the front knee slightly bent and the back knee strongly bent, as most of the bodyweight is on the back foot. Kokutsu Dachi is usually performed with the front leg straight and the front feet pointing straight ahead. The majority of the weight is usually shifted to the lower body. Kiba Dachi depicts wide feet parallel to each other with feet and knees pointing inwards and a straight back. The arms are usually held forward and bent towards the body. This is done with your legs shoulder-width apart and both feet forward. Hachiji Dachi is the direct successor to Musubi Dachi. It is performed with the feet together in a V shape while the hands rest on the sides of the body. This is the most basic posture you hear when you first step into the dojo (karate practice room). Now let’s focus on how to do some poses correctly. There are several postures, each of which coincides with different situations that will be discussed later. Correct and proper postures allow us to maintain balance while attacking and defending with greater effect. The poses are simply classifications, but some basics are needed to perform them correctly. Do not rush at any cost! Stances (Tachikata) It can be very easy to practice at times, but the key is to understand and “feel” every move. I will go over each technique and especially how to do it correctly. A stance is a tachikata, a punch is a tsuki, a block is a uke, and a kick is a geri. The basics of karate are named after Kihon. I dare say that one can master the art of karate by learning mostly the basics without going to higher levels. In short, it’s important to keep practicing the basic Beginner Card moves. It will take your time to focus on strategy and tactics while giving your opponent a split second to attack and score a point. If you haven’t practiced the basic techniques often enough, you’re probably thinking about how to position your feet or arms before attacking. Imagine you are fighting an experienced opponent. Regular practice of the basics trains your muscle memory so that you can execute every move naturally and skillfully before consciously thinking about a fight. ![]()
