Hi. I have been looking all over the internet and I couldn’t find a clearcut answer and I was hoping that I could get one here. Does Jujutsu have the Hiraken Tsuki (Leopard’s Paw) as a vital area strike? Or does anyone know if the Samurai used it? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out with this.
The name of the system escapes me, but I had seen it done to the back of a hand that was holding a weapon...followed by a kote gaeshi/omote gyaku.
Do you mean this shape? I'm yet to come across it, though my experience is limited. I can ask my instructor?
Did you teach a leg strike with this at a MAP meet Smurf? or was it a single knuckle? I recall a dead leg or two
Yes it’s used in some styles as a primary fist Generally speaking there are a very broad/open range of fists taught to give you a lot of flexibility in terms of targets, angles and limitations in terms of power generation
or you could use it like this in practice it is actually a half striking half grappling hand. not necessarily the best for either but with great flexibility of application.
