    What is your favorite technique in Karate?
    Personally, mine is the middle roundhouse kick, mostly because it packs power and is easy to perform, but I found a slight flaw that it requires a certain distance before this technique can be perform so that it can reach max effect.

    OSU!

    Low roundhouse kicks. I enjoy the leg chopping competitions in full contact karate :)

    The spinning back kick. I'm a sucker for raw, biomechanical power.

    fave punch = gyakazuki to the solar plexus. ball of foot - hip twist - connect - down they go.

    fave kick = mae-geri. simple yet extremely effective at sending someone flying :D

    For me, it would have to be a neat little combination - like a feinted maegeri to draw your partner's guard down, then land a quick tobi komizuki or nagashizuki to the head. Nice'n'simple.

    The straight and simple hard punch to the chest makes them remember me for a few days ;)

    The front kick is my favourite and most practised, you can get the opponent a good few feet back and it hurts when hit in the face good :D

    Kick - Mawashi geri, aimed at the knee
    Punch - Can't beat a good old reverse punch, failing that, the jab to the face.

    Mine would be a combination -- Jab-reverse punch, sweep and backfist as he loses his balance.

    Can I change my mind? (women's prerogative :p )

    Going all out on a bag with a spinning hook, just for the feel of landing a really heavy technique.

    Stepping side kick. Plant one of these into someone's mid section and watch them fly ;)

    What the who the how the?

    Kick is maegeri to lower part of the stomac.

    punch would be gyaku zuki (reverse punch)

    But hand technique would be haito (What the Who the How the **** did that thing land on my face)

    Regards Kerling

    Face? I like to do these to the abdomen - duck under your partner's strike and dive straight in with the haito. A surprise haito to the groin can be fun, too :p Being a little on the short side, I think I'd have to do a jumping technique to get a good haito to the face/neck. :D

    if i it was allowed in my tourneys, the shin roundhouse.

    if not, then the outside crescent kick, because it's pretty fast, and hits on the outside, so cheap smacktards who hold their hands up all day are hard pressed to block it. same reason why the hook punch is my favourite punch.

    Gyaku zuki.

    A descending kick with the back of the heel - what do you call that move?
    Looks like i have unusual tastes there, no one else seems to like that move.

    btw, has anybody heard of a kicking technique that is like:
    jump in the air, do 3 jump kicks before landing?
