In a karate step, the power comes from the back foot (ground power): The heel is pressed into the ground, transferring the power to the core. The hip on the side of the executing arm is then rotated forward. This transmits the generated power through the torso and arm to the target. The same principle applies to kicks, of course. The use of the hips varies depending on the technique. This type of power transmission results from rapid, successive movements, known as chain movements. Due to the speed of execution, they are barely noticeable to the eye, yet crucial!
