14 CHITO-RYU KARATE-DO

Basic Techniques

HOW TO MAKE A FIST

1) Without your thumb, wrap your four fingers into your palm.

2) Place the inside of your thumb pushing down between the first and second joint of the index finger

3) Perfectly grip tightly with the fist, being especially careful that the thumb and little finger are not loose.

HOW TO PUNCH

1) The fist starts to twist as the elbow passes the side of the body. As the punch goes out the elbow rubs the side of the body.

2) The fist takes the shortest course, sqeezing the elbows at target.

3) In order to punch quickly, pull the opposite fist to the hip quickly (kikite). (mid-section punch) 4) Contact is made with the first 2 knuckles.

UKEMI WAZA (Breakfalling techniques)

Correct ukemi will allow the uke to suffer the least amount of damage possible from a fall. If done correctly, the force of hitting the ground will be spread out along non-critical parts of the uke's body. By properly doing ukemi, the uke can roll out of danger and move into their next course of action without being damaged too much by hitting the ground.

1. Zenpo kaiten ukemi - a forward roll from the leading foot's shoulder to the hip on the opposite side.

2. Mae ukemi - a forward breakfall. This can be in the form of a hard slapping breakfall or more of a forward roll like motion. There are subtleties in the different types of forward roll but the principle is that when being thrown forward the uke (person being thrown) is able to roll out of danger in preference to sustaining an injury.

3. Kōhō kaiten ukemi - a backwards roll.

4. Ushiro ukemi - a backwards fall. Pull the chin in so as to absolutely not hit the head. Look towards the front of the belt. Like a ball, roll, first the buttocks, hips and then the back.

5. Yoko ukemi - a sideways fall. When the body is almost touching the floor, the hand strikes to minimize shock (arm straight out, 45deg). The purpose of this is so that the shock is evenly distributed across the body.
