One Minute Bunkai: This classic technique always appears externally as a simultaneous block/counter combination, using one hand to block or catch an attacking hand and using the other to strike with a knife-hand to the neck.

Not everything is always as it seems to the naked eye, Karate uses many intricate locks, twists, and traps that are part of the repertoire of Tui-te. In this case this classic technique defends agains a wrist grab and after a deceptive entry and walk-through you end up in a position/posture identical to the Kata delivering the exact same strike.

This type of strike to the neck is an easy knock-out technique and on the way down to the floor you can position your opponent’s head to deliver a knee kick which in the Kata is the subsequent front kick.

Like all these techniques be very careful with your partner especially when targeting the neck.
