If you are referering to Aikido tai sabaki, tenshin may refer to a front foot step back at a 45 degree angle. It is usually used as a defensive move against yokomenuchi attacks. Tenkai is a pivot on the balls of the feet used for ushiro tsuki with a jo or it can be
used in a technique like shomenuchi iriminage to shift the hips without having to step forward or switch the feet.
