This version of Patsai contrasts the Matsumura version with open palm strikes at the beginning of the form. The key technique is an Osae Uke “palm heel pressing/strike“. When done correctly it will destroy your opponent's attack and neutralize his punching arm. It takes a “live blade“ or a well conditioned “palm“ to make it work--so like everything else you must pay the price of in BST credits (blood, sweat & tears) otherwise it will be weak and worthless. Followed by another palm heel strike to the head/face which sets up a beautiful O Soto Gari (throw). Wether you practice this kata or not the Osae Uke is worth incorporation gin to your repertoire of techniques.
