Koko uchi impacts targets with the web of the hand, circled in red.
Koko uchi (literally: “tiger’s mouth strike”) earns it name because the hand resembles a hungry jaw. All cats suffocate their prey by crushing their breathing passages.
Koko uchi is thrown just like a reverse punch, to crush throats with the web between your thumb and index finger. Because of the extreme consequences of this technique, it is reserved for advanced students, and it is forbidden in kumite.
The setup for wristlocks can also be imagined as a koko uchi to the opponent's wrist.
[Koko uchi fast and slow, from the front ans side several times.]
