How do i write nuki uchi in kanji
is it 抜き打ち or 抜打ち ?

[mandolin]

according to JLookUp, it's 抜き打ち

It gives this meaning: drawing a katana and attacking in the same stroke | doing something suddenly, without warning

That's what you're going for, yes?

[ko777]

Yes, that's what i was looking for
Thank you

Both are correct. For a lot of compound verbs, you can drop the middle hiragana character with no loss of meaning. For example
垂ｵ込む and 錐桙ﾞ

[ebear215]

what does nuki uchi mean anyway?

[Harisenbon]

Mandolin wrote it above:

It gives this meaning: drawing a katana and attacking in the same stroke | doing something suddenly, without warning

抜く　is to pull out 打ち is to hit.

[ko777]

That explains it
Thanks
