Delayed Sword does seem to be what I end up using the most often when I am unexpectedly attacked with a right attack. Funny how that works.....the technique I have been doing the longest is the one that i spontaneously use! Hmmmm:shrug:

Today, I'd say "Mace of Aggression" is my favorite. That raking hammerfist is wicked....

Tomorrow, it could be something different, say "Sword of Destruction" or "Delayed Sword".

So many gems, so little time to mine them....

Quite interesting to note that all of those are in my yellow belt syllabus.
Could it be that the old ones are the best?

Well John,
If we're quoting from the original ten techniques taught, I'd have to say "buckling branch" because of the sophistocated actions within it [one of the main reasons it was taken out and placed in later techniques and extensions in the system].
However, if we're using the updated syllabus, the Alternating Maces because it's a foundation used for many of the intermediate freesyle techniques. However I have to say that I'm really partial to attacking mace [whether you do the front kick or roundhouse kick versions]
I hope that I was of some servcie,

Intellectual Departure......Depending on the yellow list you use.

Delayed Sword for it's simplistic, but effective, universal adaptations. Which, I believe, is used on all lists.

I like it several reasons. One is that it is a fantastic teaching tool.
It embodies several of the yellow belt rules.
Distance is your best friend.
Whatever the attitude, so is the response.
Whenver blocking on the outside of an opponent's arm, do so at or above the elbow, never below it.
Deflection, then infliction of pain.
Then look at some of the principles involved in it. You get to see what torquing can really add for the first time.
Add to that the fact that it is a technique that works against a myriad of attacks, not just a push. The technique flows very well and introduces multiple hand strikes. There are a lot of reasons I like this technique so much, these are just a few.

OOPS! or "how to make yourself look stupid":iws:

Anyway, my favourite at the moment is checking the storm, mainly because of the variation in the movement, it feels very 'fluid'

Least favourite, intellectual departure. (but thats just because i haven't learned to back kick properly!)

Hmm, it would be a toss up betwee Flashing Swords, Swords of Fury, or Eye of the Storm.

"Swords of Fury"

I'm a big fan of both Delayed Sword and Sword of Destruction. I'm not sure I could pick between them.
