*Atemi Waza are techniques for disabling an assailant by attacking with the fist, the knife edge of the hand, the fingertips, the elbow, the knee, the ball of the foot, the toes, the heel, the forehead or the back of the head. The techniques may take the form of striking, punching, chopping, thrusting, jabbing or kicking. The results of making forceful contact with a vital point can be pain, loss of consciousness, disablement or death. Atemi Waza are practiced in Kata, never in Randori or competition.
The following seven types of kata (prearranged forms) are recognised by the Kodokan.
