Focus

決め (kime)

The Japanese word kime in everyday Japanese means "rule; agreement". In the Martial Arts though it is used to translate "focus" or "the instantaneous tensing at the correct moment during a technique". See the Wikipedia article Kime or The Many Faces of Kime by J. Timothy Hanlon, M.D. for more information.
