counterattack while evading (kendo)
A kendo technique where you dodge the opponent's strike and immediately counterattack in one motion.
彼は抜き技で相手の面を打った。
He struck the opponent's men with a nuki-waza.
抜き技はタイミングが命だ。
Timing is everything in nuki-waza.
Compound of 抜き (nuki, 'pulling out, evading') + 技 (waza, 'technique'). The exact historical origin within kendo is uncertain, but the term is well-established in modern kendo terminology.
