What is your favorite Freestyle maneuver?

[Shodan]

Back knuckles and wheel kicks would be at the top of the list for me.

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

I'm with Mr. Ryer on this one...sidekick has to be my fav. in sparring. 'specially that nice little corner with the floaters and the diaphragm... but I also enjoy a good placed round kick...people don't think a fat guy can move. I just really like my distance between me and the person I'm squaring off with...

That's true, people don't think a fat guy can move. I believe he is talking about his experience with his instructor, Chronuss is not fat at all.

use to be...still got some pounds to shed...'specially after X-mas and such...but people look at me and believe I'm a slow and lumbering individual...which I usually am until given a purpose.

I always liked a good side kick, ridge hand, and hook kick. haven't seen anyone mention the hook kick.

We generally use the hook kick as part of a kicking combination. Very seldom do we use it as a stand alone move, unless the opponent just leaves us no other option

 

[Chronuss]

yeah...the hook-round combo hasn't been used in quite some time...we all got use to use to it...last person I used it against was Sean, wasn't it Seig...? ...think he got a side kick after that.

The most effective and probably least used freestyle technique is one I patented. I point at their chest as if they dropped some food on it and when they look down I quickly brush my fingers up their face. That gets 'em everytime.

:rofl:

...sounds like the Kenpo Mind Trick strikes again.

 

[Seig]

If you delete the kick from Leaping Crane, it works great in a freestyle situation....
