突きは踵で打つ。突くとは手，腕，拳で敵を打つことであるために，我々はつい，その手，腕，拳そのものに力が入ってしまう。しかし，空手の突きは，手で打つというよりも，足で打つ。もっと具体的に言えば，腰と腹で打つがそれを支えているのが足であり，その足の接している大地でもって打つ。つまり，突きは大地で打つ。そして，その大地と身体をつないでいる重要な結節点が，踵，特に後ろ足の踵である。したがって，突きは後ろ足の踵で打つと言っても良い。大地の上に二本の足で立って敵を打つことの秘訣は，大地でもって打つことにある。
Punching is made by the heel. Punching means an attack to an enemy by the arm, hand, and fist, so we unconsciously tend to strain that arm, hand, and fist. But, Punching in karate is made by the leg, rather than the arm. More specifically, it is made by both the abdominal and the lower back region, which are supported by the legs, which contact the ground. Accordingly, punching is made by the ground. Then, the important node relating the ground to the body is the heel, especially the one of the rear foot. Therefore, it can be said that punching is made by the heel of the rear foot. The secret for punching an enemy while we stand on the ground by the two legs is to punch him/her by the ground.
