wrist uppercut

[kilat02]

HY

me again.
umm. we train a lot of jurus lately and there is a technique
where we point te fingers in a bird beak kind of form and with the wrist we beat up to the chin. I thought some sort of wrist uppercut or something.

My question is whether there are other styles that use this technique?
and what the real name of this technique is? :thinking:

There is something similar in a few MA's including Lau Gar although i am not entirely sure how or when to use it effectively.

It's in many styles of Karate (called Koken).
Check out the goju-based kata "Tensho". There's koken at with either hand and both at once.

also called kakuto in karate. also used as a defensive technique

YouTube- Kyokushin Karate Encyclopedia (Iko1-Matsui) - 12 (around 4:30)
YouTube- koken uchi traning 2ngo

You say Kakuto, I say Koken, Kakuto, koken *sings*...let's call the whole thing off.
