Tenshin Happo is a basic Shito ryu karate training method of shifting the body (tai Sabaki) to apply offensive and defensive techniques in eight different directions. The eight directions are, forward ( mae ), backward ( ato), sideways to left and right ( yoko ‘hidari’ & yoko ‘migi’), forward diagonal to left and right ( hidari mae naname & migi mae naname ) and backward diagonal to left and right ( hidari ushiro naname & migi ushiro naname ) . Different types of footworks can be practiced in these 8 directions. You can refer to my previous blog on footworks to see it’s various types.
