Technique training. "Sonoba-Zuki"

Online Karate class channel

Sonoba-Zuki is most common and 1st step basic practice in Karate.

Sonoba means "staying in a place". Tuki (Zuki) is thrusting.

But here, most common misunderstanding for non-Japanese speaker is difference of "Zuki" and "Tuki".
Yes, actually, meaning is totally same. But when "Tuki" comes after some word, pronounce becomes "Zuki".
So, when we say just "Tuki", it is Tuki.
And When we put some word in front of "Tuki" becomes "Zuki". (ex, Jun-Zuki, Gyaku-Zuki)

We must be careful. Basic technique is just for learning. Not for use in self-defense situation.
This "Sonoba-Zuki" doesn't work in sparing. But we have to get important things here.

1, Don't make gap between your arms and body.
Your fists should go straight, and hit earlier. Even when opponent steps forward, this straight punch works well. So, this straight th
rust is important techniques against attacking enemy.

2, Hikite, Take your the other hand backward. The fist need to be on side of your chest.
Automatically, your body will remember proper position, and you can use more muscle in next Tuki.
And, punch don't hit the moving target so easily, in fighting. Therefore, you can catch his hand or cloths and punch, it is efficient technique. Hikite is for this practice, some masters said.

3, Turn your fist in the last moment of Tuki.
This twisting is very important techniques. When we turn our fists, muscles on shoulders and back also work. It means we generate large power by larger part of muscle. Especially, this is important thing in defense techniques.


4, Use full body.
Arms don't generate strong power. Power comes from the ground. You kick the ground and twist your body then transit it into arms and fist. This is also very important technique in Karate.
"When you do punch, use legs. When you kick, use your upper body". This word from old master says about this. You need to try to use full body part anytime.
