Practice Sanchin Striking propped against a door jam to focus the elbows in tight against the body. In Sanchin Strike, elbows stay in close to the body, and rub against the gi, palm up, right up to the strike. The Elbow Strike deploys with bent wrist and slight torque of shoulders. The Shoken (one-knuckle punch) pivots 10 degrees past the palm-down point for added penetration. The Riken (backfist) deploys with forearm moving in a straight line from sanchin arm position to target. The Shuto (karate chop) leads with the elbow, then the handblade snaps out deploys like Sanchin Strike. The handblade should be held with the thumb touching at the base of the third finger keep the hand stiff. Strike with the first two knuckes only not all four. The fist is made with the thumb touching the knuckle of the third finger, and closes in a two-step process, gradually rolling the fingers into the palm. Don’t lean into strikes stay squared off. Strikes should accelerate, not deploy at one constant speed. Striking Tips: All strikes should deploy with focus coming from the center of the body not from the striking limb.Practice 8-Form Stepping to be able to spring into Sanchin stance from any position and direction. from chest, hands held at 45 degree angles and fingertips alligned with shoulders.
