【GEN Spotlight】

In this episode, Tozaki explains some of the important details when doing Seienchin.
First of all, you should step in while having a clear image of your opponent in front of you.
Then by moving in from your foot you can take the space without your opponent being able to attack you.
Next, when performing the elbow strike, you should not turn your body around your centerline, but instead, turn your body around your front hip to gain more power.
※「追加」Lastly, when doing the last Ura-ken make sure to step forward from your heel, that way it will be easier to extend your arm out all the way in the strike.
