With pleasure.... Yokomen and shomenuchi are sword cuts essentually and can be used for atemi and are, we also include punching and kicking as from karate also the direct staccato punching from wing chun, elbows, knees and palm strikes....
The pathetic attempts I see in many dojo makes me want to puke....
Of course start gently and work up to full blows, that's common sense old boy....
