The "Death from Above" move that Achilles uses in Troy. Apparently it is found in various southeast asian systems but I have only seen it taught in Pekiti. I have pulled it off twice. :D

Baaht gim. It's just all about coming from odd angles, delivered from an unexpected position. And it lands like a sack of concrete.

Mograph stated that his friend will intend to hit with the first strikes as well. I was saying that I don't intend to hit with those strikes, since they're set up strikes, but if the person doesn't respond to them I absolutely will follow through.

Oh, well then I disagree with you. Launch in and get 'em. :)

you killed 2 people? If not can you please explain what you mean?

Yes, exactly, I have killed two people in open field battles.

:rolleyes:

I do lots of weapon sparring, I have pulled this move off twice. Due to the blunted nature of said knife and sword involved no one died.

But I did get to turn to the rest of the guys and say "Is there no one else?!"

Sort of, except that you have to hit it from a flank position so you don't wind up trading shots, there is a big torso twist that you don't see in a superman punch because it would rob the punch of much of its power.
