Wikipedia definition
1. Kuji-kiri​Kuji-kiri (九字切り lit. "nine symbolic cuts") is a practice of using hand gestures found today in Shugendo and Shingon Mikkyo. It is also present in some old and traditional schools of Japanese martial arts including but not exclusive to schools that have ties with ninjutsu. Originally thought to have originated from Taoism and brought to Japan from China by Buddhist monks, it is often misconceived as a spell or curse (jumon) to cause ones adversary to meet a foul end.
