Getting the structure:

1. Hold your forearm in front of your face and fist pointed up.
2. Relax (drop) your shoulders.
3. Hold a fist, and turn the wrist to face the palm forwards.
4. Drop your fist down and forward until the arm is straightened.
5. Pull back the other hand to a Hiki-te
6. Drop (relax) your shoulders again. 
7. Ensure the first two knuckles are the outermost part of the fist.

The shoulder has the greatest range of motion in the human body, but this sacrifices stability as a joint. Its is a comprised of a ball and socket joint with three moving bones. The three bones to consider:

1. Humerus (upper arm bone)
2. Scapula (shoulder baled)
3. Clavicle (collar bone)

There are four main reasons for using the hips.

1. wrist takes impact only from lengthwise into your forearm from the face of the knuckles
2. point of impact at first two knuckles; not fore-knuckles
3. condition your knuckles and wrists to take heavy impacts
4. do not block with your backfists
