Re: types of atemi

If you have real power behind your strikes, then I think the atemi an attacker does not even see works best.

In training, maybe not so much... Maybe there the atemi they see but does not have to land works best.

Other things to consider, atemi with body parts other than hand to body parts other than face...faces have teeth, which can cut your hands.

Best,
Ron
