SHUKUMINE NO BASSAI
The special techniques in Shukumine no Bassai are the movements either forward or backwards while keeping the posture of Neko Ashi-dachi and then shifting into Hanmi Kokutsu-dachi. You can use Mae-geri in the posture of Neko Ashi-dachi responding to the enemy's movement or you can use your knee as a block by raisning it up in front of the enemy's kick. Then apply a counterattack by executing a kick. This kata is representing the free changes of both offensive and defensive techniques by measuring the distance to the enemy.
 
Another special technique shown in this posture is Nukite-gamae, which is used in every posture. Front hand Nukite is always aiming towards the enemy's eyes. Attacking with Nukite and blocking with Shotei is like two sides of the same coin (see chapter 3).
 
In this kata there is a part, which utilizes Mae-geri and Nukite at the same time, but Nukite is in this part not for sticking toward the eyes, but merely for cutting the eyes from the side. This usage must be another special technique.
 
The enemy can evade these techniques of sticking and stabbing with Nukite by turning his head to either side. But after the enemy has turned his face, the usage of the cutting to the sides followed by Nukite, might give you more effective results.
 
 
Shukumine no Bassai used to be called just Bassai, but after having ensured the approval from Shukumine the name was changed from Bassai (dai) to also include the founder's name and thus changed into Shukumine no Bassai, when Kunihiko Tosa published his book: "Genseiryu Karate-do Kyohan II". Changing the name to include the founder's name was done in order to distinguish it from the Bassai no Kata specified by the JKF.
