Effective opening moves
Please List your best opening moves.

I don't really have one but I usually do this.

// Quick opening move

Hold all
Contract left pecs
Rotate Chest right
Rotate Lumbar right
Extend both gluts

(Created by rock) I think.

They can be complex or simple.

Thank You
Re: Effective opening moves
Here's the most effective move against 90% of attacks:

DON'T contract all

Extend pecs
Extend Wrists

Space x1

Contract hips

Vary from here.

Re: Effective opening moves
I like the ducking one.

Mine (I didn't create it, but it's what I usually open with):
Hold all
Contract left hip
Extend right hip (or you can reverse the two hips)
Extend both ankles
Contract both knees
Contract abs
Space x1
Extend left knee

You can adjust the direction with the chest, so it's hard to dodge (although you do lose the shatter effect). And if you rotate your chest in the direction of your kicking leg, you kick off an AFKer's elbow.
Re: Effective opening moves
Hold All
Raise both shoulders
contract both wrists
contract both elbows
make grabby hands
Space

This move is very effective. [size=1pt] for the other player.
Re: Effective opening moves
i have a few for judo, but the best is my sig and i dont want to give that out srry. but u can try this...

Hold all
Contract one hip
Extend the other
Extend ankle on the leg you extended
Contract the knee on the led u contracted
Contract both elbows
Contract both pecs
Grab hands
Space...

then do what u can from there

NOTE: This is a very risky move, if they dodge one hand it will backfire do to the elbow and break off the other shoulder
