Hiraken uchi (literally: "leopard-fist strike"), is a more robust variation of the four-finger spearhand strike. Hiraken uchi is thrown just like a front-foot or reverse punch, but impact is made with the second knuckles instead of the seiken.

Hiraken uchi is used to attack soft tissues, such as the opponent's throat, solar plexus, abdomen, bladder, or armpits.
