Yamatsuki is (unlike in the manga and anime) supposed to hit with both fists, and will never be used with the intension of sacrificing the upper punch (as a feint) to hit with the lower punch. Hitting someone with a well placed yamazuki shocks the entire body, preventing someone from being able to continue the fight. Targets of the upper and lower fist can vary, depending on the preference of the user, and the position (in front or at the side of the opponent). Possible targets for the lower fist are the stomach, the kidneys and the lower ribs.
