What is/are your favorite techniques in Karate?

Question

and please state what are your least favorite techniques in Karate or even TKD...thank you

Answer 1

Hook kick. I don't know why.  I don't even have to think about it.  I just happens.

Answer 2

Flying sidekick and back spinkick.  It's been a long time since I've done any Karate (I used to do Shotokan) but I particularly enjoyed both of those, they can gereate tremendous power

Answer 3

Step-behind Shoulder Drag Throw (borrowed from Judo), Reverse Punch and Perry, Liver Stomp Kick, Headbutt (used that one a few times to get out of hairy situations), unorthodox front hand lunge punch.

My favorite, favorite Karate moves though are the grappling escapes because they are so effective and destructive.  That's why I think studying Karate pairs so well with cross training in a grappling art like Judo, Sambo, Wrestling, traditional Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ.

Answer 4

the neck break, the heart stopping punch and the throat Peirce (i spent 4 years in karate)

Answer 5

My favorite is the finger whip.

Least favorite is the 360 roundhouse kick.

Answer 6

My favorite move in karate is either the upward forearm block or the "kote uchi". My least favorite would have to be the front snap kick. That move will only get you taken down.

Answer 7

The ready position.

its relaxing.

Answer 8

Scissor leg takedown and the low round house kick.

Answer 9

My favourite move is a step reverse roundhouse kick(head), land next to them, flip them over the back of your knee, five gazillion fancy punches while they re on the ground, and to top it all off, that weird kick where you bring your leg up and swing it down on their face. That last kicks completely unnecessary, slow and tiring, but its funny when the ref gives you points for it.

My least favourite move is that bloody stamp kick to the knee, that they make you do in every bloomin' lesson!!!

Answer 10

Favourite techniques:  mawashigeri, ura-mawashigeri, tobikomizuki.

Least favourite:  sokuto-geri, nidan-geri, ushiro-geri.

I also love practising kata.

Answer 11

I think anything that spins or leaves the ground is stupid.

As far as a favorite, I don't really have one, but I like a leading backfist followed by a strike from the following hand or foot as my entry. That said I really don't have an absolute favorite, I just kinda do what comes when the moment calls for it.

Well, I have always liked to give a nice little Kage Tsuki with some Fa Jing to the rib cage. The perfect way to end something fast without people seeing what just happened other than the guy slumping to the ground. Gotta love the clinch for that, lol.
