Illustrating knowledge of, and ability to, evade effectively, enter, defend softly  when appropriate, trap the opponent's standing foot, and grip his throat with the finger-tips, all of which place the attacker in a vulnerable position to be taken down, this photograph depicts some of Master Gichin Funakoshi's original Okinawan karate / Ryukyu kenpo / karati teachings.
