Kime

Kime (Template:Lang-ja) is a Japanese martial arts term. In karate it can mean 'focus' - the instantaneous tensing at the correct moment during a technique. The tension at this time is mostly focused in the Tanden/Hara and Abdomen. 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.

In Suriname there is a successful karate dojo named KIME. The governing body is the Suriname Karate Associatie (SKA).this sucks
