caught my eye.

Why This particular dead horse? Prettier ?

Easy answer, right?

Yes, to bad it wasn't in the OP with the 7 or 8 other questions.

Yes, those "worthless" techniques have worked for me as well.

The simple answer is, yes. Yes you can use the techniques in live sparring, yes I have used them in live sparring, and yes, they worked.

Easy answer, right?

Obviously not, if so many people consider this a dead horse getting beaten down on again. The theory I posed isn't a ****-ton of anything. If this is something that to you or anyone else doesn't merit an answer, and it's that bothersome to see, then don't post. Easy enough?

Excuse me? I don't whine. I'm stating the obvious. Drop and beat your face.

Example: Kenpo: LONE KIMONO (front left hand lapel grab)

1. Standing naturally, step back (to 6 o'clock) with your left foot when your opponents grabs your lapel with his left hand. Simultaneously pin his left hand to your chest with your left hand and deliver a right upward strike against his left elbow just above the joint thus causing the elbow to break as you pivot into a right neutral bow.
2. Then circle your right arm over and down (counter clockwise) with an inward-downward strike against opponent's left forearm. Make sure that your opponent's left arm is driven down and diagonally to your left.
3. After cocking your right hand slightly toward you with your right palm up, deliver a right outward chop to the right side of opponent's neck; stance throughout is still a right neutral bow. Cock your left hand at your solar plexus, ready to check when needed.

That is a technique.
Kickboxing is obviously what the name says. It has it's own methods. I'm not saying that it isn't effective by any matter of means, but it isn't Kenpo, or Praying Mantis Kung Fu, or Shotokan Karate, and it isn't considered a TMA imo.
If you are trying to gauge my knowledge in the arts I can save you the trouble: Look at my profile. There ain't much there.
I really am curious about what I posted.

If you double up with a jab or lead with an overhand right, are you doing your combos wrong?

It isn't a theory it is an observation. A flawed one at that.

What happens, if say while doing your "Raging Kimono" technique, the opponent reacts differently and you need to pull something else out of your training. Say the double elbows to knee from "Crossing Talons" (as I assume you are using the same site I just Googled).

Are you doing it wrong?

Edit, I just realized it is "Lone Kimono"....

Your cognitive dissonance astounds. I answered your question with very few words so you would be sure to get said answer. And still you missed it.
