🥋 Precision. Power. Karate.
The upper punch in karate is executed at chest or neck level, aiming directly at the opponent’s face or upper body. It uses the opposite arm as a counterbalance to add power and maintain form. The punch should appear strong, with the fist or wrist slightly protruding to show impact. The movement is sharp, controlled, and typically finishes with the arm fully extended, just as the elbow is covered by the sleeve. This punch is similar in effect to a straight punch in boxing and is a core technique in karate for both offense and defense.
