I love the backbreaker

The only Master Key on the Poll is 5 swords.....
and Snapping Twig is a sub of it

Back Breaker and Leaping Crane are subs under Thundering Hammers

Man, how do you put a favorite on those four techniques!! I guess If I have to be forced to choose I would go with leaping crane. Although each in it's own right can have many different combinations accompanied to it I like working behind the guy finally being taller than the opponent for once. I must admit though my own personal favorite is detour from doom. After I learned that technique nothing can beat moving up the circle & blasting the guy in the face when their on 1 foot. I was able to use it once & I didn't get past the vertical punch in the face.

1 inside the arm (hot zone) Five Swords, then 3 outside the arm. Hmmm.... how about Parting Wings or Obscure Claws?

If I have to chose, it would be Leaping Crane, with the extension. I do Five Swords so much, I just want something different I think. I am with the Master Blaster Conatser on this, I like them all. Tough choice.

Have a good weekend all - I will be out of town for Mom's Day.

I like five swords also, it has several different strikes, a nice continuos pace, and nice stance changes to develop power, 5 swords also looks awsome when you can get past the mechanical part of it! I do not know back breaker. When is this technique presented??

I realize I'm dredging up an old thread, I'm still catching up on them and it will probably happen again. I am partial to Raining Lances, I also really enjoy Rotating Destruction.

my favorite technique is shield and sword...

mostly because its one of those techniques that nobody in my studio (instructors excepted, of course) can seem to remember it... one of those techniques thats easy to forget, I guess, but I put it in a self defense competition routine and haven't forgotten it since.

Y'all got some good points -

Of the 4 - I would say I like Snapping Twig, and I am goin' to tell ya' why -

1- Maaaan, what a nasty arm break.
2- The frictional pull into the outward handsword. I don't know too many who will be surviving that.
3- If 1 and 2 aren't enough, lets annhiliate the Zygomatic arch as well with a hammer fist, he he he
4- ohhh wait, almost forgot - if the person was talkin' a little trash, let's simply crush the Mandible for good measure -

ANYONE - GOT KENPO!!!!

Of course we all love 5-swords, but lets be different.. Today Snapping Twig - tomorrow maybe Back Breaker -

What about - DOMINATING CIRCLES - There is a whoopin'
or, another personal fav - ENTWINED MACES -
RAINING LANCE is good to, if your into that sort of thing
