Yama-zuki is defined as the U punch in Nishiyama Sensei's Empty hand karate book. It essentially is the U punch as in Bassai Dai, if memory serves me

It is kind of an odd posture with punches(bassai dai) or knife hands(hangetsu) extended overheard or at angles from the body. It is called that becuase the posture of the arms and hands in relation to the body resemble the peaks of mountains.
