7 attack opportunity

[rainmaker]

I was told that there are 7 opportunity to attack and I forgot what it is.

1) when they finished waza
2) Right before they execute waza
3) When they inhale (?)

Anyone who can help me ??? I thought there are certain name for that too...

i thought there was only "3" (appropriate) timings to "start" your own attack, but 7 or maybe 5, maybe less ways to deliver your strike.


one of which is when your opponent is in the middle of his attack,

another is when he/she is about to finish,

hope that helps!

p.s I know nothing of actually implementing these "correct" timings,

[Bokushingu]

Datotsu no Kikai
Literally, chance to strike. The five most important chances are:
Debana: as your opponent's attack is beginning.
Waza ga owaru toki: when the opponent's attack is finished.
Itsuka toki: when the opponent has settledd. Observe patterns of breathing or movement.
Uketometa toki: after a block or parry.
Matou-toki: when the opponent is uncertain.

Mittsu no Sen
The three basic categories of counter-attack (see also the section on Techniques (Waza):
Sen sen no sen: before the opponent attacks (e.g. debana waza).
Sen zen no sen: when the opponent's attack has begun but can be avoided (e.g. nuki waza).
Sen go no sen: when the opponent's attack has begun but can be countered with a parry (e.g. suriage waza, kaeshi waza, or uchi otoshi waza).

I don't know about an official seven... But here are some of the ones of that I am trying to use-

1) Just as the opponent is about to begin their attack (i.e. debana)
2) After the opponent has begun the attack, but you hit first (nuki-do, etc.)
3) You attack the same time as the opponent, but your strike is the valid
one. (Sort of an ai-uchi situation.)

The other ones that I can possibly think of are-

1) When they show weak ki. (First tournament mudansha)
2) When they retreat or back up (ni-dan, san-dan waza)
3) When they try a hiki-waza, chase them down and counter.
4) When they have just finished their own attack, before they can rebuild.
