Immediately reverse the hand movement using shuto completing the technique at the ready punch position, hand open (block or strike) (figs. 12 to 14) (n.b. on both the circular movements you inhale sharply with short breaths).

Immediately follow with a slow morote koken hizo uchi whilst inhaling (figs. 67 and 68) and execute morote chudan shotei uchi with ibuki (figs. 69 and 70).

From this position quickly execute, in a forward direction, a double hooking movement (positioned at height of neck) and slowly return both hands, open, to the ready punch position whilst inhaling (figs. 71 to 73).

Execute morote chudan yonhon nukite to the solar plexus with ibuki (figs. 74 and 75).

The kata is completed by moving the right foot back into musubi dachi (fig. 99) and the mokuso position is retained (fig. 100) until the command “Naore” when the fudo dachi position is taken (fig. 101).

This kata can also be performed in very fast movements to simulate fast attacking and blocking as in combat. This form is known as kenka — your instructor will explain.
