What do you fight with?

Out of everyhting that you do and learn, what is your bread and butter? What do you depend on to save your butt?

For me it would be something like:

Punches: jab, cross, hook, bodyshot
Kicks: Teep, roundhouse, sidekick, straight knee
Throws: Diagonal Cut (O Soto) Inside Shoulder Throw, Iron Broom (kicking sweep), Backward Kicking (Uchi Mata), and the single leg.
Ground: Scissor sweep, push sweep, Triangle choke, armbar (mount and guard) omoplata
Defense: Bob & Weave, Wing blocks (comb the hair), Tui Shou (bridging into clinch)

Just curious to see what others actually use most of the time.

-edit- I love to throw shoulders in the clinch too, it’s the main thing I do when I’m swimming for grips. I don’t know where that tech would go though.

We spar with a different strategy.

We yield with 5 steps.

We push and pull.

We trip to fall.

We throw.

We use open palms most of the time.

We walk.

:smiley:

That’s fine and all, but what throws are you using? What palms are you using? What are you specifically using from your system?

What I’m getting at, is that basically EVERY good teacher I have come into contact with says that you will only use a very small part of your art personally. I’m just trying to see what that part is for everyone.

Mainly:

Hands: Willow palm, hook, straight punch, elbow, backfist

Legs: Inside crecent (my roundhouse sucks), side kick, front heel kick

Takedowns: forward sweep, iron broom, hip throw

Ground: RNC, armbar, ankle locks

Defense: elbow blocks, forearm blocks

Hands: 5 element fists, elbow, open hand chops, palm strikes

Legs: front thrust, side thrust, roundhouse, outside crescent, hook kick

Sweeps: Front sweep, back sweep, leg reap, inside sweep

Ground: armbar, various wrist and joint locks, RNC, Guillotine chokes

Defense: legs block low, arms block high. Lots of crossing/rolling blocks to transition into a bridge, trap and counter-technique.

Is that where you like comb your hair and take the punch on your forearm or elbow? That sounds like our crazy monkey blocking at Straight Blast Gym, back when I could go there before I moved. It was awesome. It’s in Elgin. How far from you is that? It’s called Stratight Blast Gym but there’s no Wing Chun in it. Check out the website, here.

It sounds similar to what you described a while back, but for us, it’s used to defend a hook punch, mainly. your arm is bent, glove, hand, etc. is by the ear. the glove/hand and forearm will receive the brunt of the hook punch.

you, on the other hand, use it also to defend straight punches, don’t you?
