Nihon Nukite

Precision thrust delivered with two extended fingers

TechniqueStrikesAdvancedKarate

Key steps

  1. Extend the two striking fingers evenly and support them with the thumb and remaining fingers so the hand stays stable.
  2. Thrust the hand forward on a narrow precise line with the elbow tracking behind the fingers.
  3. Keep the wrist firm and use focused control rather than raw speed, because accuracy matters more than force for this technique.
  4. Withdraw the hand smoothly and close the fingers back into a safer shape immediately after the thrust.

Coaching points

  • Stay relaxed until the moment of impact.
  • Let the hips and stance support the strike.
  • Recover quickly so the next action can flow.
