all martial artists what is your favourite technique and best marial art advice received?

Answer 1

Well seeing as every one is sayoing round house kicks and next to impossible to do techniques in the dojo let alone in a competition or fight.
I will bring something different and more practical. I have over 13 years of Judo training.
When competing I love to go go in for a leg sweep called O Uchi Gari, then when my opponant lifts his leg to defend against it I quickly turn and throw him for Uchi Mata. then once on the ground I go for a hold down called Kesa Gatame or a armlock called Juji Gatame. In the event of an attack, I rely on basic leg swees and chokes or arm locks.

The best advise I receive is we are constantly learning for the rest of our lives. If we ever get to a point where we feel we can no longer learn. We are wrong.

"When your enemy comes, welcome him... When he leaves, send him away"

Answer 2

My favorite technique would be the hip toss from the clinch. I use it more often than any other takedown.

Roundhouse kick from my back leg would be my favorite strike.

The best advice from my teacher had to do with teaching. He said the best way to be an instructor is to both a master and a servant. As a master, you control the class and how the students train. But you must also serve as a servant because you work for the students to help learn and grow.

Answer 3

Favorite technique? Can't say I have a favorite really, but when I am doing randori or jiyu waza in class or messing aroung with a karate buddy of mine, one that seems to present itself all the time is Sankyo - a wrist locking technique.

Best martial arts advice I've received? Hmmm.... My Sensei recently said that to really learn, you have to become to an extent obsessed. I think he was right. You do. The other would have to be sort of a mantra in my dojo which is "Remember, you are next." Meaning, that as you practice technique on your partner who has willingly put themselves in harms way to help you learn, don't forget that you will be in your partner's place real soon - don't go too far just because you can or you will pay for it.

Answer 4

I like just the plain old round house easy to learn and can be very effective

Best advice no matter the art you choose or the rank you achieve you do not know the art you study the art there is always more to learn

Answer 5

Best advice

Just keep going! All martial arts are the same its all about movement and being able to move in a natural way. If any style is teaching you to be rigid and to follow a pattern then how can it be right?. Remember we are not monkeys, snakes, tigers or dragons we are people and should be able to move efficiently as humans. Use the forms to teach you the principles. It shouldn't be a painting by numbers exercise.

Answer 6

My all time favorite bit of advice: "Your opponent will try to read you like a book, so just make sure it's in a language he doesn't know!"

Another tip I heard was that "Any worthy opponent will recognize any pattern you have, and thus, be ready to counter (it) before you even attack. Developing a 'trademark' is not something you'll want to do"

I've learned that uncertainty can be the best defense. If your opponent doesn't know what's coming he won't be ready for it and that's exactly what you want!

Answer 7

My favorite technique is a teep (push kick) to the face because it's incredible difficult to pull off.

I've recieved so many good advices that it would be hard to pick one. However I really like this one:

"In training, don't ever slack off because in real fight, the opponent will throw whatever he want to at you and you'll have no choice but to deal with it. You should look at training this way, the coach throw what he want to at you and you have to deal with it"

I don't remeber where I got this advice from though :-(

Answer 8

I don't really have a favorite technique. The best martial arts advice I ever received was 'Train like you fight and fight like you train'.

Answer 9

My favourite technique would have to be yoko geri kekomi (side thrust kick) or gyaka chudan tsuki (reverse middle level punch) best karate advice I've gotten hmmmm, I would have to say is to stay calm in grappling, the more you struggle the more energy you waste.

Answer 10

David N: if you cant answer the question, stop 2 point whoring with lame not committals. since when is defending yourself needing to prove anything? lame.

as for the question:
throat strikes.

best advice would be not to play chess when you fight (you hit, he hits,you hit. it is unnatural to fight like people get trained), as a fight is all one way: the winner overwhelms the loser. so once you decide you have to, go crazy and keep the heat up.
