I was going through my pages of notes on my techniques today... (I have over 20 typed pages these days! I can't believe how much I've learned the past two years!)
Anyway, I started thinking about the nicknames I've given techniques in the past.
For instance, there is a right wrist grab technique in the kata bookset. The day I learned it, my instructor grabbed my wrist, and I yelped in a really high pitched voice, "cold hands!". (It felt like he'd had his hands soaking in ice.) Now I call that technique Cold Hands.
Another one I renamed was shacklebreak. I call it the superman move, because when you counter-grab in the air and rear kick, you look like... superman.
Those are the only two that come to mind right now, but I was wondering if anyone else renamed specific memorable techniques?
