Thread: What is your favorite move(s)

    What is your favorite move(s)

    Me, I would say cross-hook or hook cross. I used it the most.

    Kick wise, a front straight legged off the rear mild bend in knee. I used it the most.

    Funny, I trained so much and this is what I always seemed to use. The openings were always there I guess. My memory is shot today.

    Well, it's more about the setups and combos.

    Individual moves depend that context.

    Axe kick

    Not incredibly useful, though.

    I have used it back in my ITF days but not very much. Once I recall and really it was an accident. I threw a spin hook and the guy did something and I just dropped the heel of his collar bone. Everyone thought it was planned but really I just got lucky I think.

    Some guys loved that stuff. Take it to the face/chest and almost everyone gets knocked down.

    When I play the

    - grappling game, "single leg" is one of my favor moves. I had used it to win 7 rounds in a role in one tournament. It's different from the western wrestling "single leg". I'll use just one hand to get my opponent's leading leg while I'll use another hand to deal with his arms and upper body. I have more than 16 different ways to set it up and apply it. I also have more than 6 different ways to finish it. When I'm tired, I just wait for my opponent to step in. It works very well in defense as well. As long as I can line up my back foot with my opponent's feet, I can always get his leading leg. It was the 1st grappling tool that I had put into my toolbox.

    - striking game, "haymaker" is one of my favor moves. I had used it to knock a vertical person into a horizontal person before his body dropped to the ground. It's one of my bread and butter moves when I decide to knock my opponent out.

    Back in my Karate days, I was more of a kicker, and my favorite was the side kick, followed by the roundhouse kick. I was able to make those work especially well.

    Later on, my whole viewpoint changed, and I don't really have a favorite move/strike/kick/sweep/throw, etc. It depends on what's appropriate at the moment. It became more that my 'favorite' move(s) was/were whatever I was landing effectively at the moment. Especially in CLF, where everything is done in combinations.

    Basic scissor sweep from guard

    faovorite moves are plenty. but just to point out leg methods are very important.

    leg sweeping or sao tui.

    leg/ankle hooking or gou tui.

    If you practice shaolin fists, there are plenty of sao tui.

    If you practice mantis, there are plenty of gou shou and tui.

    Not saying it works all the time.

    Just ready to jump if somebody do those leg methods on you. or tornado jump to avoid the 3 or 4 legs sweeps on slaught.
