Abstract

The objective of the review was to determine the punch and kick impact of the karate. The attack impact of the male karateka had the following result: gyaku zuki with 993 to 3501.93±370.83 N, oi zuki with 6884 N, mae geri with 1082.42 to 1208.69 N, and mawashi geri with 1211±219 N. The oi zuki moves forward to strike the opponent, then all the body is used in the punch. But, with the gyaku zuki, the fighter practices the punch with trunk rotation. Then, the oi zuki's mass is greater than the gyaku zuki (3501.93±370.83 N) and this causes greater impact on the oi zuki (6884 N). The torque of the kick phase of the mae geri (223.6 mkp) was greater than that of the mawashi geri (143.7 mkp). The action of the hip internal rotation has less torque than the other hip actions. The hypotheses of the greatest impact of the mawashi geri are explained through of the Newton’s second law. In conclusion, the study of the attack impact of the karate is important to improve the performance of the karateka.
