Description

Twenty-four steps varied in application of tension and relaxation, and immediate transition from slow application of technique to rapid execution of consecutive techniques. This form affords practice in various grasping and countering techniques, and employs the use of elbow and open hand blocks and counters. It also demonstrates the use of distraction to gain advantage. Early forms may not use the sidekick. Movements resemble waves braking on a cliff.

Believed developed by Ankoh (Yasutsune) Itosu (Okinawa).
