The kissaki points down slightly to clear the groin of the opponent. The cut finishes so that the tsuba is slightly lower than the right knee, and even with the kneecap. Your arms should be slightly bent throughout the cut. You should step forward with your right foot at the same time, so that your legs have the same position as in the end of nukitsuke. The feeling should be of throwing away the tip as far as possible. This is accomplished by first tightening the grip of the tsuka and then rotate your wrists as your arms start their movement forward-downward. As in all big and powerful movements, the tip of the sword must start. No further movements or adjustments of the hands on the handle should be made before immediately cutting down. Grasp the tsuka with the left hand in the proper cutting position in a very relaxed grip. The right hand moves so that it does not block your vision. The sword is raised to a jodan (upper, above the head) position (furi kaburi).
