Outward Hand Sword recommendations

Below are some essential and detailed recommendations to consider:

  • The technique at hand bears resemblance to the Japanese technique known as Shuto Uchi, yet it distinguishes itself through its unique execution. In Traditional Karate, this technique involves keeping the other hand in a chamber position.
  • In Kenpo, it is crucial to note that this technique is never executed in isolation, as the other hand remains prepared for a subsequent action. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining readiness for a follow-up maneuver.
  • During the execution of this technique, it is vital to keep your fingers together. This ensures optimal transfer of power upon impact, maximizing the effectiveness of the strike.
  • It is worth highlighting that this technique serves both a defensive and offensive purpose, enabling practitioners to effectively counter and attack their opponents.
