Most Powerful Technique Category

[Chikara]

Cool! I hadn't really explored the Chinese arts before at all, none of the American arts. I come from a very rigid Okinawan dojo (in America).

 

Oops! Gotta go right now! More later, sad home issues.

I have seen the ads for that book. I have the 4 original, and have considered purchasing this one as well.

I didn't read all the comments so if this is already posted my appologies.

As mentioned before it depends on what range your in at the time, and how good you are from transitioning from one range to another so you can employ what your good at. This all happens in a split second. So It also goes back to training methods of drilling the techniques down until you don't have to think to much about them but more on a reactionary based or automatic pilot stage.

Also depends on what you as an indvidual have developed during training. Fine motor skills is the first to go in altercation especially when emotions and adrinline come into play that can cloud the judgement and effect motor skills and reaction time. So basically if you have a resistant partner and you are training with one, getting partner feed back, and developing your skill sets to where you feel strong at or are able to apply that is what is going to be your best defense. Not neccisarly the range. However some people may be more stronger at a particular area, grappling, striking, take downs, and defense from the clinch.

Now when you look at altercations for example street fights on youtube and other altercations, people arguing and it breaks out in a fight, as well as what you see in real life, I seen fights where people argue and go at it, I seen sucker punches, I seen the fights broke up as quickly as the start, and fights that go on for awhile, as well as multi opponets and ect... So when you analyze that what things happend as far as physical stand point. Distance, suprise and what not. Basically one area if you go into technique and range building would be the clinch if you are able to strike from the clinch move away from the attacker, take down defense, and able to take down, as well as from a distance, I seen some vids of wrestlers going for the shoot so learning to defend that as well will be hepful. With that skill set you can build off the others. You can stay in the striking zone more effectively or you can take it to a grappling area if y ou feel the person is about to over whelm you in strikes. Either way I think that area will allow you to switch ranges better then just doing striking or doing ground fighting.

Some people think they won't ever go to the ground, and some think they can get there opponent to the ground. Have your training parter give you some resistant and slowly build it up. THis way you can have that as a test to see what is working for you what you need improve ment on. Then drill on those weakness.

Throws are the most powerful attack, not that many people can take a throw as well as one can take a punch or kick.

Miscellaneous, Grapple, Throw, Punch, Kick.

Although truly, I would use a combination.
