| “ | Funny thing is, I did some spear-hand training years ago. Hurt like hell, slamming my fingers into those bamboo posts. Can't remember how many times I broke or dislocated 'em. Made me start to wish I didn't have any damn fingers... 'cause then I could go around punching as hard as I wanted! I guess I finally got my wish. | ” |

Nukite (貫手, Nukite; literally: Drill Hand) is a karate fighting technique.
Description[]
The fighter uses his hand (excluding their thumbs) which the user then thrust into the opponent's body like a spear.
Every karateka can use this technique, but Koushou Shinogi is one of the greatest experts of this move. He can easily cut human skin and flesh, or destroy a punching bag with one stab. Doppo Orochi is very good at using this technique too. He could easily puncture an oil drum with his spear hand and has also tried using a double Nukite attack during his fight with Yuujirou Hanma.
For the first time in the series, Koushou's Master used this technique against a punching bag in the flashbacks of Koushou Shinogi. Koushou's Master can destroy a punching bag with one Nukite hit. Later in the flashbacks, Koushou proved that he can do the same thing. Yuujirou Hanma has also been seen using the Nukite to bleed dry a deer as seen in one of Baki's flashbacks in the manga series. Jack Hanma also used this move during a fight with Alexander Gallen, and nearly killed him by stabbing Gallen's ribs into his heart. Kaiou Dorian tried to use this technique during his fight against Doppo Orochi, but the karate master managed to easily block it along with breaking Dorian's fingers with his punch. Kaiou Ri tried to use the Nukite technique against Baki Hanma; but the younger fighter managed to easily break his fingers with a punch. Later, Shobun Ron used the Nukite during his fight with Biscuit Oliva.
