47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 What is cooler, the look or the effectiveness?
sansoo_texas Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 since i am in san soo, a not so flashy MA. I would say the effectiveness is cooler. but i like watching the flashy stuff.

dear john Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 it is strange, the more i work on the flashy stuff the better my technique gets with the simple stuff, but if you think about it you must have the simple stuff down before the flashy becomes good. the funny thing is that i know im wrong and i know your right, yet you keep argueing like it will change my mind. you should really know, you dont have to be right to win:)
foreveryoung001 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I like to throw a few side kicks out to hold off my opponent, and then shuffle into a hook kick coming up behind their head. For effectivness, a big grandiose shuffle outside cresent kick over their head. Their eyes always seem to follow the foot. As my momentum carries me towards them, a simple reverse punch seems to land consistently. I don't know how flashy those are though. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.
