Yama-tsuki, the mountain punch, is sometimes called a U-punch or C-punch, because of its shape. The mountain punch is a special case of a double punch, and since it is simultaneously and attack and defense, it is also a Kūsankū movement.
Mountain punches are used to defend and counter against circular strikes, like haymaker punches and club swings. Step your same-side foot in towards the opponent to get inside of their arm, so their circular attack wraps around you instead of hitting you.
[video which demonstrates this from the font and side.]
Punch the opponent's face with your same-side hand; your arm will jam the opponent's attack, and shield your head. Simultaneously, use your opposite-side fist to deliver an uppercut to the opponent's solar plexus.

Mountain punches can be also be used as an atemi. After punching, immediately grab the opponent’s belt and lapels to set up a belt throw.
