So... could someone please define Sokumen for me?
"Soku" ( 側 ) basically means "side" (as in the side of a house). "Men" ( 面 ) basically means "face" or "surface." "Sokumen" usually then refers to a technique which affects the side of the face.

Here's one series of photographs of sokumen iriminage:
