Nanbudo is characterized by a stronger dynamic and flexibility compared to its ancestors. Tenshin (evasive), is e.g. B. a technique that always precedes the block, thereby hard blocks and their waste of strength and energy are avoided. The resulting fight is characterized by a harmonious cooperation between attacker ( tori ) and defender ( uke ).
