flashy move effectivety

[Son Goku the monkeyking]

i practiced combat wth my sifu the other day, and, he still can kick my but, though that is besides the point he used some fancy moves that i thought were just really flashy and would be very difficult to pull of in actuall combat but he was destroying me in combat most were from forms though but it mad me really want to learn more of those, can u guys give me some examples of flashy moves that also are effective in combat.

keep in mine y style and try and name some that are orriented around my style.

What moves were they? Some moves, like "tricks" I do during sparring or breaking, but I would be stupid to do it during a real situation. Were they 360's and stuff?

[White Warlock]

Aye, i agree that it would be helpful to know what he did, or at least have it described to us. It may be that he simply was so much more skilled than you that he had 'room to play.'

[tkdBill]

Yes, I use the "room to play" frequently when sparring my students. I like to experiment and try things that i would never try against a peer in competition.

Probly the one flashy move I have used in sparring that has worked consistently is a reverse jump spin crescent. Some call it a butterfly kick, I've heard it referred to as a lot of other names that don't come to mind off hand but just about everybody recognizes it when they see it d/t the movies. The only way I have or would use it though is a relatively inexperienced fighter, have a lot of space and you know you can execute the technique well. I find that most people either will freeze and you can place that crescent across their head or they will take one step back and open their guard for a followup side kick to the ribs or a back fist to the head. I would never dream of doing it on an instructor though, they would just drool in anticipation of the followup.

I usually use high kicks and flashy moves while sparring with lower ranks at the dojo that i never use in a tournament (peer) or a real situation

go to https://www.karatekast.com and listen to episode one or two and my sensei has a lot to say about those types of techniques, and also in episode four he talks about forms that contain these technigues

[Goju_boi]

maybe he used that on you because youre less experienced than him/her,but for somebody close to their level it's not a great idea to use them.Although I have seen people in the ufc use spinning back kicks.

unknownstyle , what exactly is ur style , have any idea ??

Umm~~!! back spin kick , it may be the only flashy & effective move ( although it's not that flashy )

its really a mixed style of matsamura seito and matsubayashi shorin ryu, american kempo, and tae kwon do. and has some ground fighting incorporated. it is a very effective system. we're known to be one of the best schools in our area because of our abilities
