Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to identifying the biomechanical determinants as a function of developing some simulation exercises for the combined attack of imbalance by sweeping (Uchibarai) and striking with the back of the fist (Uraken) in karate. The descriptive “case study” approach was used with motor analysis at the first level to identify the technical aspects of the performance due to its suitability and the nature of the research. First-class karate players, and the sample was tested intentionally from among the distinguished players in performing the combined attack, “Unbalancing by sweeping (Uchibarai) and striking with the back of the fist (Uraken)” with an open weight, and the player performed 5 attempts, the fourth attempt was analyzed for obtaining the highest estimated score. One of the most important results reached by the researcher is that: When performing the combined attack performance, imbalance by sweeping (Uchibarai) or striking with the back of the fist (Uraken), the average values of the instantaneous values of the biomechanical variables of the body’s general center of gravity vary during the three stages of the performance (preliminary - main - final), and when performing the first part of the main stage (Sweeping - Uchibarai), the leg parts work in different directions, with varying strength horizontally and vertically, increasing horizontally and vertically heavier. One of the most important recommendations recommended by the researchers is that: Paying attention to the combined sweeping attack with striking with the back of the fist as part of the kumite attack methods and not limiting it to strikes, and using the suggested exercises during the special physical preparation period for open weight karate players.
