Re: What would you do here ?
Zanshin "senses" the Chi of something within the PC's awareness circle. Tamashiwara is the Art of Breaking with their fists, feet, elbows, etc... So, unless the PC has really long arms or legs, I am not seeing how they intend to break something 8' away. There is nothing in the core rules which suggests a PC can throw Chi to do damage.

Ok, let me clarify, there is nothing in the core rules regarding the two martial arts powers in question which suggests a PC can throw Chi to do damage.

He can't do it. Zanshin circle is a sensory thing and has nothing to do with dealing Chi damage.

He has an area of awareness of 10' and wants to know if he can "break" a target 8 feet away. basically he wants to be able to throw a tamishiwara ball at targets in his zanshin circle. Would you as a GM allow that and if so, how would you let your bad guy save against it ? If I asked the question badly let me know so I can ask better. Thanks all.
The char with the zanshin would be able to throw something at an attacker behind them.
Tamshiwara must be use with a hand or foot strike. It cannot be used with a thrown or any other ranged strike.

Tell him to stop watching Dragonball Z.
Then take a look at my new martial art Kiaido which is posted here, as there's a "Shatter Yell" which is Tamashiwara at range."I know twenty-six different points on your body I could hit and release enzymes into your brain to compel you to tell the truth -- Talk!"
