Kakie is a traditional form of Okinawan training similar to sticking hand practice from the Chinese Martial Arts such as Tai Chi and Kung Fu. It is also a fundamental part of Tegumi or Okinawan wrestling. For those familiar with Taira Sensei's teaching you will recognize the sticky hands in his drills

 

In my Isshinryu studies there was a somewhat similar drill

and I continued to teach it.

 

It certainly is similar to the tai chi double push hands drills I studied.

 

It also resembles some Chinese short range striking drills

I learned then called Jing Do.

 

Each a bit different but similar.
