Kill with One Blow

一拳必殺 (ikken hissatsu)

The Japanese phrase 一拳必殺 is composed of the kanji 一 (read ichi) meaning "one", 拳 (read ken) meaning "fist", and the word 必殺 (read hissatsu) meaning "certain kill".

Kill with One Blow (ikken hissatsu) is the martial arts ideal when the objective is to kill with a single blow and is reminiscent of the sniper motto "One Shot, One Kill".
