In the Shisochin is practiced to attack by choking or holding techniques or to defend oneself against such techniques. Shisōchin , like Sansēru, focuses on a four-way fight. In addition to finger thrusting techniques that increase the distance between yourself and the opponent, Shisōchin also contains techniques for close combat situations (e.g. joint levers ).
