ok i play a pretty rought sport and a few days ago i got pissed at a dude and pulled him out of the pool( waterpolo is the sport).
So i slugged him but i felt like it didnt do enough damage?make sense?i feel like im not fighting to my fullest potential..
i fight in this sport alout i dont lose alout im pretty big but i usually wait till they miss then hit them once and they give or i wrestle them to the ground..
i dont know one good fighting techinqe tho.
any easy ones to learn and dangerouse ones to have ?
Let's tackle your concerns one by one, shall we? =)
1. "i feel like im not fighting to my fullest potential.."
---That is because you did not put much strength into your attack. Stand 2 feet away from a wall, have your two legs lined up, and then try to push the wall with your arms.
What do you feel? Is your entire body being push back instead? And you are feeling like you are not using all of your potential strength, right?
That's the wall's resistance to the force that acts upon it. Everything has some sort of resistance, strong or weak. To actually be able to push it, or damage it, you need to have a stronger force (or, as in some Chinese kung fu, use their own force against themselves, which is extremely hard).
Now, try to push the wall like you would normally do. What do you see now?
Yes, notice your legs are no longer lined up--one leg in front, and one to the back. You are now putting your entire weight into the push. This, my friend, is how you throw a strong punch.
Punching is much like pushing. A strong punch does NOT use only your arm, it requires YOUR ENTIRE BODY acting together. Your entire body weight, your muscle, the speed at which you throw the punch, plus a power boost from your leg help make your punch much stronger. The more synchronize your body movements are, the more powerful your punch becomes.
2. "any easy ones to learn and dangerouse ones to have ?"
---So, here are the EASY ONES:
***Note, all these are assumed that you are fighting against a person who knows nothing, or have little experience in fighting.
-Kick his BALLS! INSTANT WIN! EASIEST! ~hahaha (and most dangerous, too).
-Palm Strike at the nose. This is not dangerous, but enough to create a 2-second opening for a full-power punch.
-If you happen to be able to get on top of your opponent or force your opponent up against a wall, on his chest put your left hand over your right hand, and push with all your strength. (Very similar to doing CPR, only with a lot more strength and a lot faster) You'll hear some crunchy-cracking sound =D (Extremely dangerous against a normal person, this less-than-one-second move will instantly put your opponent into the hospital, don't use this if unnecessary).
-If you can grab one of your opponent's fingers, then you pretty much have 60% of his arm under your control. Unless he is willing to sacrifice his finger =)
-Kick the knee! Trample the knee! Knee is very important in a fight.
-Strike at the throat. If use against a normal person, the fight will end quickly =)
Here are the ADVANCED TECHNIQUES:
***NOTE: advanced techniques need excellent skills in order to use effectively. These requires extensive training. If not, you will be the one who gets hurt. These are techniques to use against those who have previous knowledge of marital arts.
-Oh, typical punches, what should I do? With proper stances, Black Tiger Steals Heart and Mirror Hands are perfect against punches =)
-A quick, 2-inch left jab? Darn, he's planning on a full punch next, what to do? A great counter of this is the Throw Ball in Waves patterns, aims at the ribs and solar plexus.
-To keep it short (else, it'll take several hours to list all the techniques), any chin-na techniques is good to counter attacks and lock your opponent, but again, prepare for at least five years of practice in order to use those techniques adequately (yeah, not perfectly yet).
-Chinese Kung Fu (or Chinese martial arts) have many deadly techniques, but oftentimes, a person who practice Chinese martial arts will have trouble fighting against a person who practice western martial arts. Reason being that Chinese marital arts are typically 65% skills and 35% strength; while western martial is typically 30% skills and 70% strength.
And just for your information, if you are planning to study some kind of Chinese kung fu, even after 7 years of studying, we won't be like Bruce Lee, so don't dream on it =D Real life is different from movies =( (which makes me kind of sad)

If they grab you for instance by your jacket plant your feet, grab their head and pull it down for a knee. Yu can also drop someone if they grab you by planting your feet, and pressing the elbow joints of your opponent hard enough.
You need a strong jab, learn how to throw an uppercut too. If someone comes in on you throw a front kick to the gut or the groin. Never aim high or to the head as you're body won't be warmed up--and besides if you haven't been trained in kickboxing don't try anything but that kick.
All you need is enough skill to get someone off of you. forget fighting to your potential. Fight to defend yourself and nothing else. Never create a fight but know how to finish one if someone attacks.
Also, if someone attacking you is coming in close set them up for a body shot by going left side forward, slip and break like a boxer and pound to the kidneys and liver.
As I said before DO NOT use these techniques UNLESS ATTACKED. If someone pisses you off walk away. Strike them only if they hit you first. Learn to jab, upper cut and right and left cross. join a self defense class too.
There are lethal strikes and blows but they're not for you to know how to do unless a trained instructor shows you and gives proper instruction and warning on when it's to be used.
There's a lot of palm and other strikes designed to shatter or break bones but like I said you need a trained self-defense instructor to show you them or judge whether you need to know them at all. Irresponsible people shouldn't learn them. Not saying you are but others reading just may be. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
