What is your favorite Freestyle maneuver?

[Goldendragon7]

just curious......

 

[Rob Broad]

I usually don't stop til the parson I am freestyling against is on the ground. If it is free sparring with pads and and point tournament rules I like combinations taht are equal portions hand and foot.

 

[Gotkenpo?]

any hand technique for me...i'm a definate puncher.

 

[Touch Of Death]

The reverse punch is the base of the art.:asian:

By far it is the ridgehand for me. Just a personal thing, no real reason except it always works well for me.

 

[jfarnsworth]

I'm not sure I can put an exact favorite down. I like many several things that work well for me. :asian:

 

[RCastillo]

I used to enjoy sweeping, but have tried to be more of a purer technician, than a trickster through the years. I used to use boxing the ears off of people who got too stupid with me.

The JAB

is my all time favorite, there is so much you can do with it. It can be whipping snapping or thrusting. You can fake with it, control distance with it. It is great for setting up another move, weather it be another strike, take down or choke. It's can be a great stinger. If you really develope it, it can be lightning fast and powerfull. It comes off the lead hand which makes it easy not to telegraph it. It is great from point of origin and feels natural from many positions. I have spent alot of time on my jab and I think it is a great move.

 

[Gotkenpo?]

excellent points

The reverse punch is always the fight ender for me. I like the jab and hook punches and other things too, but it's all to set up my baby. The reverse punch.

Fellow Kenpoists,

I love the sidekick in freestyle and I guess also in self-defense.

The best is when you can hit the opponent right under their guard and not only does it jam their motion, but you can maintain cover of your centerline.

However, the roundhouse kick is great too!!

Respectfully,

ahhh the Front kick is my friend the first we learn and first to be put on a shelf to gather dust.. It's so versatile and in freestyle.. I get it in every time.
Course I love take downs too.. and invariably end up in a grappling match

Ohhhhhhh, I wanna grapple with you! (Just teasing)

 

[Goldendragon7]

The reverse punch is my bread and butter maneuver, however I also love the backfist, roundhouse and ridgehand and of of course the patented Conatser takedowns!

Front kicks are definately out for me. Every time I try to throw one I Jam something!!!!!!!!

I have a hard time answering this one, it's like asking me which of my children is my favorite......

Boy, you're worse than the Goldendragon.

 

[Ceicei]

My favorite hand move is the backfist and my favorite kick is the roundhouse. Of course, I try to vary the punches and kicks...

This is going to sound like no answer, but here it is:
What I rely on depends on who I am fighting and what kind of fighter they are. I am really fond of my front kick, I have a fairly decent round kick, and my spinning side is passable. I like to use a whipping knife hand for my jab and often follow it with a snapping rear hand back fist (reminiscent of raining claw). If someone is charging I like to use a front hand thrusting horizontal punch. I have a right hook with a mind of it's own, I never know when it's going to join in the fray. So for me, it all depends.

Moral of this story:

Stay away from Seig, too much pain here.

Side kicks and uppercuts for me. They work nicely in counters
