Body & Mind Training Center

Thank you so much for the explanation dear Ostad.
To'A!

Dear Ostad Jalilzadeh, as you know sometime I get confused by the name of some techniques, and it takes me a while to try to memorize them. To do it I need to understand them, and when I try to understand there is an explosion of questions in my head! I have a question about the hands techniques with straight fingers.

We have for what I got 3 kind of technique:

1- Soyato
2- Nokton
3- Cutting

1- Soyato is the one we find so many times in Suto, for example to defend from a kick and hits from up to down (when we say the kia "Hattoyo", or when we hit double Soyato to the head and the neck of the opponent)
If I got it correctly it hits with the middle side of the hand.
2- Nokton hits with the top of the fingers, and we find it very often in Samsamaeh.
3- The cutting hand is both in Suto and in Samsamaeh. Here we need to take the little finger under the ring finger to protect it.

If I got it correctly I should say that the difference between them is:

*Soyato vs Cutting: Soyato hit with the middle part of the side of the hand, the Cutting hand hit with the top of the fingers. In cutting hand the little finger goes under the ring finger while in Soyato I don't need it, correct?

*Cutting vs Nokton: when we cut, we move from the side while Nokton move straight. If it goes from down to up, I call it Nima Nokton.

I could also try to find a definition for the motions, related with the kick:

-Toyo: from up to down, like an hammer. Example: toyo haney keyeto
-Nimaiy: from down to up. Example: Nimaiy Keyeto
-Haney: from one side to the center and hitting with the top of the heel, like in haney keyeto
-Haima: from one side to the center and hitting with the front of the foot, like haima keyeto.

But does the name change because it is different the direction of the motion, or because of the part of the foot that is hitting? Or as third idea, because of the combination of direction + part of the foot + height of the blow.

Haima remember me an Horayad that hits low!
I hope I don't have mixed everything!
(my head is already going on Haima in Anattawa....from the side to the center)

Hi dear Patrizia,

Every thing you wrote and explained about the names and definition of them are correct.
except, you have one mistake about "Haima",
Haima is a "Kia" not a name of the technique.

Thank you.

Thank you so much dear Ostad!
Please let me understand, do you mean "haima" in Anattawa?
In Anattawa we do Haima 4 times, the two times we do it with the right hand we say the Kia (first going forward, the second coming back). I got that Haima was also the name of the technique. Did I got it wrong?

We don't have any technique's named Haima.
Haima is a Kia.

Ok dear Ostad, thank you. Got it and memorized it.
