Saifa (砕破)

Execution notes (Ōkami Dō training notes):

  • The first three movements are performed in a straight line.
  • The jump is made as far as possible, to build speed and explosive power.
  • The jump is followed by a truly deep Zenkutsu-Dachi. In the two-handed strike, make sure the fists actually grip.
  • Then the fist is on the side of the front leg; the gaze follows downward.
  • The front leg turns, and a Mawashi Ryōte Nukite to the eyes is performed before the technique repeats.

* Naihanchi and Passai come from Shōrin-Ryū, not from Shorei-Ryū.
