Description of the Tsuki
The "tsuki" is a general name for the thrust forward step in Japanese. In the context of AKBAN Ninjutsu it also means the specific way the hand is formed to hit the opponent with the second knuckles and not thew third. The step in which the kick is used is called an "arrow" step - this step has a very long reach and gives the strike a lot of power but is relatively slow, necessitating correct timing. The back leg moves forward towards the opponent and stops bent while the front foot stays in its place and the leg straightens. The striking hand moves vertically or horizontally and hits the eye or the face creating an open wound.
