 '''Yohon-nukite uchi''', the '''four-fingered spearhand strike''', is more robust and is used to attack soft tissues, such as the opponent's [[Kyūsho#Windpipe|throat]], [[Kyūsho#Solar_plexus|solar plexus]], [[Kyūsho#Abdomen|abdomen]], [[Kyūsho#Bladder|bladder]], or [[Kyūsho#Armpit|armpits]]. Four-fingered spearhand strikes are often performed with the reverse hand to maximize power.

 '''Nihon-nukite uchi''', the '''two-fingered spearhand strike''', has only two applications -- to pierce the [[Kyūsho#Eyes|eyes]] or [[Kyūsho#Windpipe|throat]] of your opponent. Two-fingered spearhand strikes are often performed with the lead hand as an [[Atemi|atemi]].

 Some [[Goshin-Jutsu]] [[Kata|kata]] and [[Waza|waza]] use a "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeyRnq8cEpM Three Stooges]" variant of nihon-nukite uchi to strike the eyes. Some karate styles call this a snake-fist strike (hebiken uchi), since it resembles a snake's fangs. However, the [[Goshin-Jutsu]] version is performed with the palm facing ''upward'', to prevent the fingers from buckling on impact.
