(“Four Directions Battle”) This kata stresses four directional fighting. When performing you imagine striking and pushing away four opponents. As you strike, power is concentrated in the palm heel and tanden, and you exhale as you strike. In additional to pushing techniques, which create distance between you and your opponent, the kata also contains techniques for close in fighting such as joint locks and attacks, nukite, and hiji ate. Thus, in a real fight if you fail to distance yourself from your attacker, the close combat techniques of the kata can be used effectively.
