EMPI (Flying Swallow)
"The distinctive motion of this kata is an upper level attack following which one grasps the opponent and draws him inward, simultaneously jumping in and attacking again. The movement resembles the up and down and flipping away flight of a swallow".
(Gichin Funakoshi, The Master Text)
