Gedan Barai -Morote Heiko Tsuki
This technique is illustrating a very important point that you you will see a lot in kung fu, but not very often in karate. After the gedan barai, how can we perform the punch with the same hand? The classical way is to stop the hand completely, to bring it back, and to begin the punch from the initial position (near the armpit). However, it is very slow and the energy-consuming.
The 'martial ' way is to continue the gedan barai, turn the hand (in a tate tsuki position, with the baby finger down and the thumb up), but almost without moving it back. Instead, your hips make a powerful 'back-forward' move, making your shoulders move back and then forward at very fast rate and making the punch very powerful.
A word of caution, though. If the technique is not enough, or if you are not warmed up properly, you can easily hurt your back muscles.
Jodan Shuto Uke - Attack to the Temple Area (Ura Shuto)
In this technique, your hands are not moving very much, All the job is being done by the hips. Also, note that your opponent has to countereact the power of your hips with the power of his hand (which is almost impossible) and his head (yes, it will hurt). Ususally, when done with enough power, the technique wipes an opponent off his feet.
Soto Uke -Uraken Shomen Uchi
After the soto uke block is complete, your hand is resting on top of your opponent's hand. giving you an advantage. The Uraken Shomen Uchi is one of the fastest punches. If necessary, you can do two or even three of them before your opponent can do something.
The shoulders and the hips area used in this technique, contributing to the speed and the power of it.
