2 技を殺す kill the technique
Do not allow the opponent to execute their strongest attack/best technique (Tokui waza) beat them to attacks and contain constrict their techniques.
気を殺す kill the spirit
Overpower your opponent with will power, assertively stoping the opponents attempts to attack will cause him to lose his will to attack/fighting spirit.
