This chiishi exercise is a variation on the basic routine and incorporates the kentsui uchi that occurs in the kata Saifa. As in both the kata and this exercise, the forearm and fist (tettsui) are brought round over the top of the head and down, as if on to the opponent's head or collar bone.
As with the other exercises, the chiishi is initially tilted backwards rather than directly sideways to avoid excessive leverage causing damage to the elbow joint.
