What is your favorite strike?

[LoneWolf1]

My favorite strike is the ridge hand not because it's the most effective just because the first time i ever used it in a fight. i landed one at the tip of this guys chin and knocked him on his ass. The look on his face was like where the hell did that come from. PS i was only defending myself the guy tried to punch me in the back of the head.

My favorite strike wasn't listed so I didn't vote... I'll leave ya all to wonder?

I like most of them but my bread and butter is open handed striking. And throwing.

I am just trying to get a good conversation started. I personally like the backfist.

Just a quick Q here. Do you lunch your backfist from your shoulder or you just lunch it form whereever??

BTW I vote for the side kick!!

[Xtschneider]

Single: Axe kick, a great way to drop someones guard, also if it lands on top of a persons head, even better

Combo: Axe kick>Front kick(same leg)>Knee Strike with Elbow Strike

I've taken a few people out with that one.

i see i am not the only one partial to bringing up old threads!!! Rouse house for me, why? because its simple, extremely powerful and fast.

[Piston]

it doesn't sound like a very effetive technique, but i've never seen it done before.

There was a video on these forums a while back, not sure where its gone now, but it was an TKD tourney in N.Korea supposedly, showed the most effective use of the "tornado" (c'mon theres gotta be a name for it less "Mortal Kombat than that!) kick I've seen in a long time.

I would only use it against another martial artist expecting me to back kick or some such, but it does generate a load of power.

Favourite strike? Side kicks, loads of 'em!

From wherever. They're less telegraphed that way. BTW I prefer hitting with the bottom of the fist (hammerfist) to hard targets - if you miss with a backfist and slam the back of your hand into someone's skull For targets like the side of the neck (carotid whatsit [brachial plexus?]) I prefer to strike with the ulna.

My favourite strike - inward horizontal elbow to the mandible.

You know, the good stuff that's not on his list of things to vote for.


"open handed" striking? That should be a clue. Head butts...?


Throw a knee? That's what I'm talking about> Just a distraction or a bit of pain to take them off balance a bit.


Close the gap.

HEHEHE my thoughts exactly

[Tom Yum]

I think hook kick is up there twice.

[Sagacious Lu]

I'm going to go with elbow strikes.
