Toad Style is nearly flawless. There is of course a hidden weak spot, but it is difficult to find and hit. Even the iron maiden does not work on the toad.

Snake style allows attacks with both the head and the tail. In order to defeat a snake, one must control both the head and the tail.

Scorpion style includes the deadliest kicks known to man and a powerful pincher style of punching.

Centipede style is extremely fast, but is very vulnerable to the Toad style. Centipede style also incorporates several deadly poison attacks with darts and hooks.

Lizard style is very acrobatic and allows its practitioners walk on and fight from walls and ceilings. This style has good overall balance, but is probably the weakest individual style, however, two lizards can coordinate attacks and defeat all the other styles.

Watch some Fight Quest episodes. Many martial art styles borrow from animals.

Learn the five pointed palm exploding heart technique and you shall be unstoppable, my grasshopper.

They can be effective; ultimately, a free-flowing style that takes aspects of multiple forms is far more effective.

 

[ondarkness]

lol
Jump style

Kill Bill 1 and 2 robbed extensively from the film I referenced or from films that robbed from the film I referenced. KB is basically 4 hours of Martial Arts and Western classics robbery.

Most karate you see is just for show. A lot of its either Chinese or Korean based as well. But if its meant to keep you safe then it works. Im a black belt in Okinowan Kempo and its not flashy at all.

no, please, anything but that!

I prefer doggy style the most.

Styling the movements of a martial arts style after those of animals have some rational thought behind it, above and beyond the showy hollywood trappings. The hunting and fighting styles of animals have evolved over time to be more effective. Beyond inspiration these styles were then crafted and modified for efficency.



In the end, the skill of the fighter plays a much greater roll than what style they use. Granted styles that do not incorporate grappling or ground techniques have areas of disadvantage. Ideally styles that have more damaging impacts could disarm an opponent before grappling occurs but why leave out an entire area of possible encounter.

LOL I remember that one. Wasn't that from Kung Fu Theatre?

**edit** AHA! Just read the rest of the thread. I still remember Kung Fu Theater as a kid though. It was the best!
