Another thing to note about legs is that you can detach limbs from your opponent by closing your knee over that body part. Contracting your knee can also give you a strategic advantage, like being able to launch yourself or have a pending attack ready. By contracting your knee you can often block your opponents kick. By extending your knee, you make sure you give all you can to your opponents lumbar. Contract and extending knees are good practices. Your lumbar and abs are great for directing your kick. Using your chest and lumbar is essential to performing a noteworthy kick. With kicks like this it's always nice to use abs and ankles to your advantage. Try to perfect it, see what you can make out of it:

Here's a kick I developed during my early days in Toribash. In judo, if done right, you may find yourself ripping your opponents in half. If you doing a side kick, use grabby hands to pull your opponent into the kick. By using the opposite side of your body to drive your attacks, you can often do more damage.When doing kicks it's always nice to move your opponents body into your attack. For instance, if you punch, you'll want to use the bottom part of your body to build force. Something I've learned is that alot of times you want to use opposite forces to drive your punches/kicks. Also, try to relax your whole arm on a punch, or at least the wrist and elbow, right before you touch uke. Notice: I dip low in this replay, rise up and line up with uke, then finishing by snapping my joints to create a punch. Here's a replay with a pretty basic, smooth-ish punch. Not completely in the middle, otherwise your punch will miss, or not be as powerful.

Space until your punch is a little centered with uke. Doing the opposite with the other hand for now.

With your hands and body, swing the opposite way you started, and contract that pec, and hold the contracted elbow. Then proceed to bring back your front foot, and push the other foot forward while keeping them on the ground. Preferably try to keep the foot, opposite to your hand, in the front, and the other foot in the back. When punching, contract your elbow, and swing that hand away from uke, while keeping your feet in some kind of stationary position. To dismember uke, you'll need at least 30.00 speed. To do so, try to move realistically and quickly. Look at some replays in the replay section and study their replays, you'll most likely figure out movement eventually.Īfter figuring out movement, you'll need to get the hang of kicking and punching uke. If you're playing in single player on the default mod, change the engage distance to around 250 or 300 to give yourself some space. Try to move your tori as if it were you in real life. Learn to maneuver your tori on your own, before you go around kickin' heads.
