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

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!)

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