Tate tsuki, the vertical punch, is a specialized move used to strike the torso from [[Zones#Clinch|close ranges]]. Some karate styles, such as Isshin-ryū, use this punch exclusively. When your opponent is closer than arm’s reach -- close enough to grab you -- turning your punches over will cause you to raise your elbows, resulting in weak punches which use only the shoulder, and not the whole body. Also, this exposes your [[Kyūsho#Floating_ribs|ribs]] to attack.

Unlike a [[Reverse punch|normal punch]], tate tsuki ''does not'' turn over, and it does not fully extend. A tate tsuki remains at your side, and ends when the elbow is above -- and not in front of -- the hip. The resulting technique is reminiscent of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%27Em_Sock_%27Em_Robots Rock’em Sock’em Robots] (which like [[Goshin-Jutsu]], also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Marx_and_Company originated] from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie,_Pennsylvania Erie]).

Because tate tsuki does not extend or turn over, it will be weaker than a regular punch. Recall that power does not reside in the arms -- it lies in the hips, legs, and core; the product of [[Ki| efficient motion with synchronized breathing]]. Tate tsuki can only work with proper biomechanics, so learning to throw a powerful tate tsuki is a lesson that carries over to all your other techniques. This is why tate tsuki needs to be a regular part of your heavy bag routine.
