Mastering a martial art requires absolute precision. To learn complex choreography, you must replicate your master's movements exactly.

Precise Instructions with "onako kako"
To tell someone to execute a move exactly as demonstrated, use the correlative phrase onako kako.
- onako means "in that way" or "like that"
- kako means "how" or "as"
Combined, onako kako translates to "exactly as" or "the way that." It connects an action to a precise example or standard.
| Perform the technique exactly as I showed you. | Izvedi tehniku onako kako sam ti pokazao. |
| Execute that strike exactly as I showed you. | Izvedi taj udarac onako kako sam ti pokazao. |
This structure is often used to coordinate different parts of the body:
| Use the hip the way you use the knee. | Koristite kuk onako kako koristite koljeno. |
Continuous Actions and Defense
Precision also applies to continuous actions like breathing and maintaining your defense.
| Always breathe the way we practiced. | Uvijek diši onako kako smo vježbali. |
| Hold the guard the way I showed you. | Drži gard onako kako sam ti pokazao. |
Notice how onako kako keeps the focus strictly on matching the correct form, even in longer sentences:
| He who wants to win must execute the block the way we learned. | Onaj tko želi pobijediti mora izvesti blokadu onako kako smo učili. |
| Your strike must be faster, and the hip must move the way your fist moves. | Tvoj udarac mora biti brži, a kuk se mora kretati onako kako se kreće tvoja šaka. |
