I have a strange style that I desperately need to work on. I tend to kick a lot more than I should, which is already bad since 99% of people I fight are taller than me and/or have a longer range. If I get sick of kicking, I'll come in and attempt to do a close sort of fighting, but usually end up getting punched in the head because I'm short. Unfortunately, I also tend to drop my hands when kicking, which I am trying very hard to work on.
Probably the one thing that I have going for me is that I'm slightly fast and have fast kicks which can get in and out before people react. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but I also tend to switch stances a lot, as I kick equally well with both legs, and often change since one kicks slightly higher and another is slightly more powerful.
Favorite combo:
Rear leg roundhouse kick, spinning back kick using momentum from the roundhouse, and punch. Use it way too much, though. xp
Oh, I also like multiple sparring, as I love sprinting and just run away from everybody before they can catch me. blaugh
Overall, I tend to get whaled on because I'm short, skinny, and have little to no upper body strength. 5'4, 115 pounds. sweatdrop
Oh, and if anybody has any tips/suggestions for practices/drills/training regiments of any kind, that would be awesome, as besides sparring (which is only offered once a week), I don't know what I can do to improve. sweatdrop

DarklingGlory Atman Well in sparring it really depends on who you are facing as to what techniques you use. Such as yourself you say you have long legs but what if you fought someone that was 1 or 2 feet taller than you? Your aggresive kicking might not do that well so you would have to react to your opponents attacks to close the gap. Although I would have to say I'm a mix of aggresive and defencive fighting and tend to use hand grabs to my advantage. Lol, to be 1 or 2 two foot taller than me they'd have to be 7 an a half to 8 an a half feet high.. that'd be so scary I wouldn't try an fight em... But if I did my basic style would stay the same, I'd be hopin that someone so big wouldn't be able to move so fast, wait for them to make a move, move past whatever they chucked them glide in with a kick to the body (I can kick to 8 foot but I wouldn't recommened it in sparrin) followed up by lots of hands then get back out again (ideally helped by a kick on the way back out). I can see what you're sayin about adapting to somebody elses style and I do to a certain extent but you cant to much otherwise you end up fighting in a style that isn't comfortable to you and they are so you'll probably lose anyway. And yeah backfists are awesome, if you get yourself turned around in a fight ( a bad position to be in) a spinning backfist will do wonders for keepin people away from the back of your head.. Well, I usually spar with my friend who is a foot taller than me. We are really great friends and give eachother pointers and such and point out small mistakes, such as hand strikes gone astray and stuff like that.

I've only ever managed this once, must've stunned the girl to pull it off...
High roundhouse to the head, drop the leg past their body while their guard is raised, close reverse punch to the solarplexis.
She hardly moved after that. It's a very slow technique, that's probably way it's only worked once. But then again, haven't tried it in a couple of years
Other (I wish I had've broken he's ribs though - he'd broken so many peoples it was he's turn, but I backed off and did enouh for it to hurt a little):
works well for someone who favours blocking with the same arm every time. Punch to the head and while the opponants arm is raised, short shift around the body and uppercut to the floating ribs.
If someone catches your foot (and stupidly holds it in front of their stomach), jump up and forwards and launch your foot into their gut.
Haven't really got any set combos, the guys at my club tend to pick up on favoured combos too easily, so best to be spontanious to keep them off guard a bit

I don't have a favorite technique. I just link a bunch of combos together that will open up my opponent.
I would have to say that I like to throw a simple mountain punch after pushing my opponent's defensive arm out of the way.

My biggest problem in sparring is that I always lean forward into some of my moves, many times leaving my head exposed.
I generally do repeated round kicks and then go in for a hook punch to their head. Often times by then, I'll have set a precedent and can distract them simply by shifting my weight and feinting a kick, which opens up a lot of possibilities.
I very rarely go for really high kicks; I see little point. Generally I do round kicks to the ribs, and for anyone advancing I use side kicks to the gut. I'm flexible and tall enough to kick most people in the head, but I don't find it practical.
I honestly wish people would hit me in the head more so I remembered to keep my weight in the center, but generally I go unpunished. I think people are thinking about their gut most of the time.

hm... i'd say that i'm a combination, depending on the opponent.
counter attacker, kamakazi (leaving openings to bluff your opponent into attacking), momentum user, and i prefer to use feet whenever possible. but i favor my open palm fighting technique. ^-^ especialy when counter attacking.

We are really great friends and give eachother pointers and such and point out small mistakes, such as hand strikes gone astray and stuff like that. She is also a higher rank and has alot of blackbelts. I am an endurace fighter and she is a "get out quick" fighter, so our styles really contrast. If we were in a real fight, she would knock me out with a few hand strikes to the sternum if I didn't keep my guard up. I perfer to use hand strikes, but I also use kicks when needed. My sparring partners always tell me that my punch is really powerful, so I use it to my advantage; considering that I'm not really confident in my kicking abilities.

It's funny when they go "oof" and bend over. then just kick them in the side of the head and its all over.

I agree with that. A good round kick in the ribs is always good to make them think twice about messing w/ you, especially if you do a little bit of damage. Even just a little bruise will send them a message that clearly says, "You don't wanna mess with me."

I honestly wish people would hit me in the head more so I remembered to keep my weight in the center, but generally I go unpunished. I think people are thinking about their gut most of the time. Get better competition. Any decent TKD fighter would take your exposed head as an invitation for a defensive front leg axe kick or a spin hook kick. Any boxer would tee off it with hooks and uppercuts and any kickboxer would see it as an easy window for a thai clinch with knees. There's plenty incentives for high kicks. High kicks can knock down opponents or even flash KO an opponent and end the fight. Rarely will a kick to the ribs do such a thing (though I've seen it happen). High kicks are harder to block and harder to catch as well. Even in most point sparring styles where KO's aren't common, head kicks are generally scored higher. In a TKD match, a head kick that knocks down can land you 3 points, which is more than enough to rally behind (along with the possibility of a KO victory if your opponent is unable to get up after the count) Granted, high kicks are harder to land but the point is that if you're capable of them, you should be looking for opportunities to land them. One should be more worried about their head if head contact is allowed. A blow to the head is far more damaging and dangerous than a blow the ribs or stomach. Strong core muscles can absorb the shock and impact of a blow to some extent, the brain however has no such luxury.
