The Japanese language is oddly-specific about which techniques are [[Punches|punches]] (tsuki) and which are strikes (uchi). This is unusual; especially since this is the language where the English idiom “you can’t make a mountain out of a molehill” is untranslatable, because the Japanese use the same word to describe both mountains and molehills. In general, punches transmit their power parallel to the forearm (like a thrust or stab), while striking transmits power perpendicular to the forearm (like a slash).

Punches are intended for general use, since they are adaptable to all [[Kyūsho|target areas]]. Strikes however are specialized moves. Specialized moves are not “special moves” -- life does not imitate animé. Certain strike can only be used in certain instances, which tend to fall into one of three categories:
# [[Atemi]].
# Techniques for hitting opponents from the [[Zones#Clinch|clinch]].
# Techniques custom-tailored to destroy certain [[Kyūsho|kyūsho]].

The striking techniques used in Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō are listed below:
*[[Backfist strike]]
*[[Hasu-shutō uchi]]
*[[Tate-shutō uchi]]
*[[Makkikomi-shutō uchi]]
*[[Elbow strikes]]
*[[Palmheel strike]]
*[[Hammerfist strike]]
*[[Uraken uchi]]
*[[Ridgehand strike]]
*[[Spearhand strike]]
*[[Hiraken uchi]]

 The Japanese language is oddly-specific about which techniques are [[Punches|punches]] (tsuki) and which are '''strikes''' ('''uchi'''). This is unusual, since this is the same language where the English idiom “you can’t make a mountain out of a molehill” is untranslatable, because the Japanese use the same word to describe both mountains and molehills. It is claimed that "punches" transmit their power parallel to the forearm (like a thrust or stab), while "striking" transmits power perpendicular to the forearm (like a slash), but there are still exceptions to this rule.
