Morote-tsuki (literally: “pair of hands punch”) or the double punch, is a uncommon-but-valid technique, mostly used as a brutal finishing move with the intent of “sending a message.”
In general, a “double” technique refers to two identical techniques, simultaneously delivered to the same target area, on the same level. Double punches directed at different targets on different levels are mountain punches. Double punches which control the centerline are Kūsankū movements, which exploit the wedge technique for defense.

To prevent off-balancing, both punches must be timed to finish at the exact same moment. To prevent the punch’s momentum from dragging you off balance, you must be fully committed to stance quality. As such, double punches are typically reserved for advanced students. However, they are often assigned to novice students as a pedagogical tool to help develop their timing and stance quality.
