Tai-Atari (Body Contact)

Execute a forward strike attempt that is blocked or closed by the opponent at close quarters.

Drive forward continuously, bringing your body into full contact with the opponent's front body frame.

Hold the Shinai vertically centered against your chest with both hands, hands resting at hip/chest level.

Keep your base stance wide, knees bent, pushing through the legs to off-balance the opponent backward.

Create separation immediately off the bounce to strike an open target line.
