Target, distance, and timing ... with ki, ken, tai ichi.

Your full focused intent extending through the aite ... it doesn't matter what the initial contact body part is ... metsuke, tegatana, shotei, etc. it is all ATEMI.

Different applications of your intent cutting through the opponent at all times. It may be soft and controlling or it may be overwhelmingly powerful and crushing. Fit the effect to the need. It is all "striking" uke with your intent to control their mind and body.
