Im just wondering does anybody know the three types of kime?
Quote:
The essence of karate techniques is kime. Them meaning of kime is an explosive attack to the target using the appropriate technique and maximum power in the shortest time possible.
Quote:
kime may be accompished by striking,punching,or kicking,but also blocking. A technique lacking kime is not true karate.
Quote:
Power Sequence
All physical techniques have identical time flow to them, moving through three phases. these are 1)initiation (generation). 2)acceleration, and 3)impact (focus).
