 '''Katachi no Chugoku-te Dō''' (“Form of the China-Hand Way”) is another exploration into the understated Chinese influences on [[Karate|karate]]. This [[Kata|kata]] uses lots of spinning footwork transitions in order to teach students how to fluidly move from one movement to the next. By remaining in motion, you become harder to stop. Once students learn how to transition from any one technique to another, they can custom-tailor their response to the given situation without conscious thought or effort. They cease to perform techniques; ''they are the techniques'', much like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evyKPVS_M7E when the dancer becomes the dance].

-Another opponent approaches from #5, attacking with a pursuit punch to your midsection, which you deflect with another ridgehand block (Movement 3). Trapping the opponent’s hand with a thumbknuckle block, you pull them off-balance (Movement 4) and grab them by the hair. Pulling them by the hair, you rest their head on your thigh, which acts as an anvil (“a karate-chopping block”) for a right shutō to their neck or jaw (Movement 5). Grabbing the opponent by the face and the back of the head, your sharply twist their head as you pull it to your right hip, snapping their neck (Movement 6). To keep the opponent’s corpse from collapsing atop of you and compromising your balance, you simultaneously prop them up with your knee and shrug them aside (Movement 7).

-Another opponent approaches from #2, attacking with a right punch to your face. You block their attack with an outside shutō block, and simultaneously deliver a tate-shutō to the grove between their right bicep and triceps. This will strike their radial nerve, causing incredible shoot pain in their arms with some temporary loss of function (Movement 8). Grabbing their wrist, you pull the opponent into a kick to their groin or abdomen (Movement 9) to get them to collapse forward. Using this momentum, you reach behind their head and pull it in to a forward elbow strike to the face (Movement 10).

-Another opponent approaches from #7. You assume a guard stance in preparation of their attack, and move to the side, to let the previous attacker collapse between you and the new opponent, creating an obstacle (Movement 11). The opponent kicks over their fallen comrade, but you swat their kick aside (Movement 12), then twist around, simultaneously stepping over the fallen opponent and off-balancing the opponent further by swatting their thigh to the side with your knee as they rechamber. Then, strike their neck with a makkikomi-shutō (Movement 13).
