Re: The use and strength of atemi application

If you happen to knock out the person from the atemi, well OK. But the goal of atemi is not to knock the person out. The main goal is to distract so that you can continue to the next step in the technique. Once the technique is finished, then you have the person's life in your hands. You can now decide to spare it or to finish him/her.
