Hidari-yokomen-uchi

(striking the left side mask)

This is shown in Plate 117 and after lifting the blade exactly to the centre it is canted over to strike diagonally to the opponent's left temple. Note that the cutting edge has turned inwards to strike the rim of the grill at ninety degrees. The follow-through will appear exactly as for Shomen and apart from the canting over, the same form applies.
