玄制流では追い突きの場合、後の足を進めて両足が揃う位置までは突き手を脇に控え、そこからさらに足を進めるときに突き出せと教えられた。余計な力を抜いて、ばねで弾かれたようにスナップを利かせてポンと出せと。また、相手に当てたら手を取られることを避けるため即引くこと。もう一方の手は突きに合わせてしっかり引くことにより、作用・反作用の効果でより効く突きになると教えられた。

突きを当てる感覚を判らせたいとのことで、昔、S.I先生の意向で、ウレタン防具を付けて子供達に腹を突かせたことがある。中学生の男の子達は「一発で倒す」等、可愛いことを言っていたが、当然、突かせても全く問題無い（通らない／効かない）。
その時の子供たちの中にちょっと太めの小学生の女の子が居た。２年生か３年生くらいだろうか。見るからに鈍そうな／貫禄のある／恰幅の良い子である。突くときも素人の子がよくやるように、手を頭上に振り上げて…先生、まだ突きを教えていないのだろうかと思うような動作で…ドスン。『げっ…』それが無茶苦茶効いた。膝を着くかと思ったが気力で耐えた。他の子達の突きは全く問題ない。気を抜き過ぎたかなと思いつつ、順番でもう一度…ドスン…『ぐぇ…』。ウレタンの本物の防具。効くわけがないのに…。辛うじて膝を着くのを耐え、引き攣った笑顔で‥『次…』。以降、先生に気付かれない程度に、その女の子の突きを受けるときは少し身を引いた。それでも…勘弁願いたい突きだった。
その子の突きは全くけんか慣れしていない素人の小学生が良くやる形で、スナップなんて利いていない。その子は鈍い故に空手の突きがまだできていなかったのだろう。ただ、その突きには体重が乗っていた。手で突くのではなく、体で当たってくる／手に体重を乗せる感じ。今でも考えさせられる経験である。

In Genseiryu, in the case of a chasing-thrust, I was told that I should hold aside my hand until both feet were aligned when I would step forward, and that I should stick out when I advanced further. Release the extra force and use the snap as if it had been flipped by a spring. Also, if I hit the opponent, pull back immediately to avoid getting caught. It was taught that by pulling the opposit hand in accordance with the thrust, it became a more effective thrust due to the effects of action and reaction.
Such an image.
In the past Mr. S.I. said that he wanted to make children understand the sense of hitting, so I used to put on urethane armor to attack my body at the intention of him. The junior high school boys were saying something cute, such as "defeat in one shot," but of course there is no problem if they poke it (it does not pass / does not work).
At that time, there was a slightly thicker elementary school girl among the children. She was about 2nd or 3rd grade. She looked dull, thick-headed. She raised her hand over her head like that an amateur child does often when poking ... Sensei, in a motion that wonders if he hasn't taught her yet ... "Oops..." .
That worked crazy. I thought I would get on my knees, but I endured with willpower. The thrust of the other children was perfectly fine. I thought I was too relaxed. Genuine urethane armor. Again in order. "Damn it!". It doesn't work ... With barely enduring, with a twitching smile “Next…”. After that, I stepped back a little when I was thrusted by that girl, so that I could not be noticed it Mr.S.I.. Nevertheless ... I wanted to excuse me.
Her thrust was like that an amateur elementary school student who was not used to fighting at all, and there was no snap. Perhaps She had not yet been able to poke karate because of her dullness. However, her weight was on the thrust. Rather than poked with her hand, hitted it with her body / felt her weight on hand. It is still a thought-provoking experience.
