Kime (in Japanese 決め) is a Japanese martial arts term. In karate it can mean 'focus' - the instantaneous tensing at the correct moment during a technique. In judo, the 'Kime no kata' are often translated as the 'Kata of Decision'. In other budo the term refers to attacking a pressure point. In all cases certain finality is implied.
