Chinte
Chinte ( Japanese 珍 手 , dt. Rare hand ) is a kata in karate , ie a stylized fight against several imaginary opponents. This kata is practiced in the styles Shōtōkan , Shōtōkai , as well as Shitō-ryū and Shōrin-ryū .
Surname
Chinte has its presumed origin in very seldom used attack and counter techniques on vital points (eyes, nose, ribs). Representative for this kata is e.g. B. Nihon nukite (two- finger prick in the eyes) ( 二 本 貫 手 ) and the strongly circular movement elements . Chinte has a strange ending sequence of three smaller jumps. These are sometimes seen as a simple return to the Enbusen starting point, as it is assumed that the correct conclusion has not been handed down or has been forgotten. Another interpretation is the reinforcement of a lever or holding technique.
