The kata you refer to is that from the Gokui,but the kick is not to the ribs?
Lee, yes, last year, Sensei demonstrated Zanshin metsuke on me in the dojo and the kick definately wasn't to the ribs.

However, according to Russ (From what I understood), this just wasn't one kata. It was quite a few where the Tori would give the Uke a kick before withdrawing into Ichimonji no kamae.

Have you seen any other kata in the the Gokui like that?
