Can someone give me the name of the reverse hand moved and held to hip in Shotokan karate in Japanese?
Cheers. |

| One of the more literal meanings of the Japanese term is “pulling hand”. This is to emphasize and explain that the hand/arm movement has an important function which is essential to the effective body mechanics required for effective application of hand techniques. |

Yes, I've been watching some Youtube videos with bunkai which shows gedan barai and the hikite as more a grab than simply a styalistic device or counterweight to the punch, and it makes a lot of sense.
Our previous sensai was very dismissive of Japanese technique, but the more I see of it, the more I like it. Still, ours was much more of a sports karate club.
We never used Japanese, either, which means I'm on catch up.
Cheers again |

For what it's worth, the English "reverse hand" would be "gyaku-te" in Japanese, which is something else, entirely
