Feel free to give me feed back, I want to know if these moves are actually usable or just hokus pokus.
Replay overview:
HEADBUTTS- obvious
-Head butt 1
-Head butt 3
SPRING KICKS- I've covered these in a previous post but I'll just post a few replays. Feel free to look back to the old post on page 32 of this thread.
-Spring Kick 9
SOME OTHER KICK I DON'T HAVE A NAME FOR- I'm reluctant to call this a side kick, but the movement of these moves are all similar enough to be the same thing to me
-WTF Kick
-Spear Kick
-Kick Throw
ELBOW STRIKES- obvious
-Elbow Strike
Alrighty im here.
So i shortly addressed headbutts in the striking section of Principles of Aikido saying
"Headbutts seldom offer fracturing or dismembering attacks but more often inflict more damage on your own tori."
I still stand behind that, I think headbutts have more risk that is not worth the reward, ofc there were always be exceptions for example i think your first headbutt replay is beautiful but i dont see it being reliable technique.
Spear Kick and Spring Kick 9 can be labeled as Inside Leg Kicks however i find the the "spring" force off the floor into spring kick 9 to be key part of and should be written down somewhere.
WTF Kick looks like a front leg side kick. Very clean i want to try this myself.
Elbow strikes are already part of the striking tier as i have had great success with them as short range, surprise attacks.
Kick throw looks like what I'd call a standing kick sweep where a normal kick sweep is a ground sweep when you're based off your hand and you use the kicking force to start the sweeping momentum.
