Sure, in Japanese. I'm just saying, the literal translation doesn't serve as a very good description in English. We generally don't refer to an entire fighting style as a "fist".

As opposed to, say, Ansatsuken(Assassin's Fist) from Street Fighter, which is Ryu and Ken's fighting style. But back in the day ended up being translated to "shotokan karate" which is a real karate style, but not what they actually used.

Now adays Capcom just calls it Ansatsuken everywhere.
