Gyaku-zuki
The is an attack technique often also referred to as a reverse punch. This is used in many budō disciplines, e.g. in karate or aikidō. This is an embodiment of the "choku-zuki" (straight punch forward). After a step forward from the "zenkutsu-dachi" position, a straight forward punch is made for each forward leg ("chūdan" or "jōdan"), with the hip twisted in, or the hip rotation supporting the impact. The "gyaku-zuki" is the counterpart to the "oi-zuki", in which the impact is made to be the same in relation to the front leg. While the  oi-zuki is used as an attacking technique and with a full step forward, the "gyaku-zuki" is a counterattack that is used in a standing position, without a full step forward. Also common are the two variants of performing the crotch and kick simultaneously, or supporting the thrust (without crotch) by simultaneously sliding the entire body and legs forward. Example: In the left display, the execution of a "gyaku-zuki" is done by the karateka doing a kick with the right fist.
