Kawashi
Kawashi is literally "interaction" in Karate kawashi can be explained by the ability to read and understand your opponents actions.
In Kawashi practise, you pass through your opponents attack, in effect exchanging places. Unlike kumite, you do not catch the attack and sweep it away, nor do you stop back or to the inside. Instead you step in, towards the attacker, whilst turning (kawasu) your body to avoid the attack
