The term "enzui" is the Japanese word for medulla oblongata and "giri" means "to chop". Thus, an "enzuigiri" (often misspelled 'ensuigiri') is any attack that strikes the back of the head. It is usually associated with lighter weight class wrestlers, as well as wrestlers who have a martial arts background or gimmick. It is often used as a counter-move after a kick is blocked and the leg caught, or the initial kick is a feint to set up the real attack. A common variation of the enzuigiri sees the wrestler stepping up the opponent's midsection, and hitting the back of the opponent's head with the other foot. Invented by Antonio Inoki.
