UN means "to move" and TAI means "the body". UNTAI therefore means "to move the body".

This meaning is not as descriptive as the one for SENTAI.

When we try to describe UNTAI we think of the waves at the beach, as they hit the land with awesome power. An UNTAI movement is one where we use the body weight behind our technique, such as jumping kicks.

Generally UNTAI techniques have up and down movements.
