GYAKU ZUKI — PART ONE

Back to basics.

The power in a strong Gyaku Zuki starts with the hips. Focus on driving the hip through the technique, creating rotation, stability and power — without overcomplicating it.

Build the foundation. Then build the speed.

🥋 Part 1: Hip Drive

Breaking down one of sensei Meghan’s fights, step by step. 🥋

1️⃣ Set up gyaku-zuki + kizami-zuki, attacking before your opponent can settle.

2️⃣ Draw the defensive gyaku-zuki, then score with ura-mawashi.

3️⃣ When the pressure finally comes, use the pull to create distance and score ura-mawashi.

Set the trap. Read the reaction. Take the point.

Your safety matters. Your life matters.

With the recent surge in violence against women in South Africa, we want to do something meaningful.

This October, KarateZone is offering FREE self-defence training through Karate, for ALL women.

Knowing how to defend yourself isn’t a failsafe — but having the skills, awareness, grit and confidence to respond in a dangerous situation might just save your life.

You don’t need experience. You just need to show up.

Let’s learn together. Let’s get stronger together.

Karate is one of the few sports you can stick with for life, no matter the season.

While sport karate brings challenge, competition and personal growth, our foundation remains rooted in traditional martial arts — discipline, respect, technique and continuous improvement.

Train for the sport. Grow through the martial art. 🥋
