Seiken
(Clenched Fist)
正拳
(せいけん) |
 |
All five fingers are bent like you have a
clenched something. You should not have space left in the
palm. Clench hard as if you are squeezing a stress ball and
tighten the thumb. The arm and the back of the hand have to
be parallel and when you look from the side, the back of the
hand and the fist have to be at a right angle. |

Uraken
(Reverse Clenched Fist)
裏拳
(うらけん) |
 |
This is the same as the Seiken but you use
the third joint of the forefinger and the middle finger. |
|
Kentsui (Tetsui)
(Iron/Hammer Fist)
拳ツイ
(けんツイ) |
 |
These are the middle muscles between the little finger and the wrist when you make Seiken and set the fist vertically. Use this part the same way you use a hammer, the fist and the wrist have to be together and fixed. |
