What do you believe is the powerful technique in unarmed, martial arts combat?

I see your Goldberg Jackhammer and raise you an Undertaker Tombstone Piledriver compilation.

There is no MA technique that's more powerful than the "head smashing".

Peter Graham's rolling thunder.

I actually had a mate of mine try this in a fight.

Or the head hunters spinning heel.

That's a falling spinning heel kick...

If it lands, it's over.

For people with sleeping issues, this is better than an ambien. I think it’s the extra back support that makes it the most powerful kick.

He didn't really "spin", meaning there's no torque to it, he's much smaller than me,. etc.

So, you don't like Cung Le's kicks...

Please, educate me. Compare and contrast your kick with the one Cung Le used on Scott Smith. I must be missing something... because I obviously have a difference of opinion on whose kick was better. Perhaps if you would educate me here, it would help.

His wasn't engaged. He was half turned and slapped with the foot. I didn't say my kicks are better than his... I was only talking about the kick you linked.

He kicked with his leading leg. Which means it had to travel a further distance than your back leg spinning kick. Didn't you say when the leg moves farther, it has more power?

InfiniteLoop said:

What do you mean by this? He figured out Scott's movement, used his own movement to create an opening and was able to deliver his kick on target... a long developing kick. After the kick, Cung Le was on balance and in position to continue to attack. What do you mean he was not engaged?

Are you saying he did not have power? He certainly took Scott off his feet and bounced him off the cage. There was a lot more power delivered in that kick than what was demonstrated in your bedroom.

You are confusing his step-in. The step in didn't add any power. It wasn't a spin it was a turn with his leg stepping in. Two different motions. And I can't see how it landed.

The bear hug from Andre the Giant. You'd eventually **** out your innards if there was no referee to stop him.

Now I am confused. Stepping into a technique adds power to it. Why is this one different?

InfiniteLoop said:

Explain the difference between a 360 degree spin and a 360 degree turn? If you are going to say that a spin is tighter and Cung Le was not tight enough to be a spin, wouldn't that mean his foot traveled farther, thus generating more power?

InfiniteLoop said:

You are the one who claimed he slapped with his foot... Were you wrong? Since you can't see how it landed, how did you determine he slapped?

The difference between a turn and a spin is velocity, in that a spin is in done as one unit of continous and accelerating motion. Physics isn't different for bedroom warriors. I spun in my clip, he turned. A step-in of the sorts he did there does not add anything in terms of kinetic energy. It's a feint and a positioning maneuver.

Reverse roundhouse kick 35:13

Mine is better. I don't think his is good enough for an instructional tbh..
