From the FUNDAMENTALS OF MARINE CORPS MARTIAL
ARTS
Comes this
interesting abdominal striking drill. In my opinion this could be a form of Kokite-ti.
l. Abdominal Strike (sit-up strikes).
Partners will assume a sit-up positions
with the feet interlocked. On the first count
they sit-up and each strikes the others stomach
with the right hand followed by a left hand strike. They then return
to the down position which completes
one repetition. The strikes
should be centered between
the navel and xiphoid.
Avoid striking the ribs, below
the navel or sternum and do not hyperextend the arm while punching. Begin at a slow
speed and power
and increase
as proficiency and toughness develop. Some soreness will be experienced initially. Begin by alternating with 10 repetitions
to each arm.
