*Age Tsuki*
Age tsuki is your rising punch, built to split a guard wide open. The fist drives upward from the hip, using the legs and hips to launch under an opponent’s chin or into the solar plexus. It’s the punch you throw when someone crowds you and you need to create space violently. In knockdown karate it’s a fight-changer because it travels through the middle and catches people ducking or leaning forward.

*Kizami Tsuki*
Kizami tsuki is the jab of karate, but with bad intentions. It’s a fast lead-hand punch used to blind, measure distance, or set up power shots. Unlike a boxing jab, it’s thrown from a deep stance with the whole body behind it, even when it looks light. Fighters live and die by kizami tsuki because it controls rhythm. Land three of them and the opponent starts hesitating on everything else you throw.

*Morote Tsuki*
Morote tsuki is double the problem. Both fists punch at the same time, usually to the midsection, with one hand reinforcing the other. The power comes from compressing the core and dropping weight into the target. It’s devastating in close quarters where you can’t load up a single big shot. Think of it as a battering ram. It’s used to break guards, stop breathing, and force the opponent backward.

*Shuto Uchi*
Shuto uchi turns your hand into a blade. The classic “knife-hand strike” uses the edge of the hand to target the neck, collarbone, or temple. Speed and precision beat raw power here. The arm whips out like a sword cut, and the strike is meant to stun or disable instantly. In self-defense it’s brutal because it attacks vulnerable anatomy that punches often can’t reach cleanly.

*Heiko Tsuki*
Heiko tsuki means parallel punch, and it’s about raw, balanced destruction. Both fists fire straight forward at the same time, usually to the ribs or chest. Your stance has to be rock solid because the force goes straight through you into the target. It’s a wall-breaker. In knockdown rules, fighters use it when
