Show-off or make a point

Ok, I hope I'm the first to ask so here it goes.

We all have been with friends, just chillin out and blabing away about our martial art training, the pro's and the con's and how our instructor is a total badass and such. Sooner or later someone is gonna try to trow a monkeywrench on things and call your bluff regarding the "awsomeness" of your style. So, if you had to do a move, technique, etc , to impress your buddies, family or girlfriend/boyfriend what would it be? If you can name one for each art you did or just one big "all convincing-oh-my-god-I'm-gonna-run-to-your-gym-and-do-that-****-too" move. Just try not to kill your buddies.
I'll lead:

Choy lee fat - leen warn charp chui , I think that was the name of the technique. I maybe be wrong it was a long time ago

White Crane- the quinna of the style are pretty cool.

Shuai Jiao - Hell, all the throws are sweet, specially those where the other guys lands on his head.

Muay thai - Knee to the ribs after you clinch...it's a life altering experience

Brazilian jujitsu - I'm a noob but I just LOVE to triangle choke people.

If this is the wrong placefor this thread, please move it.

I'm still trying to shoot other people's arrows out of the air.

If you have to ask, it is.

Let me take this moment to state I love MEGA JESUS-SAN's avatar. I would love to "steal" it in an argument I am having with a creationist on ANOTHER BOARD [Boo. Hiss.--Ed.]

As for what d34dly technique to show? I suppose it depends on the situation. I rather like what a sparer I know gives to the standard, "but what if I do this to you":

Shoot you. Or, if I feel particularly merciful, use this nightstick to beat you, then arrest your ass! This is why I am a cop. Welcome to the 20th Century.

How about finding the biggest, meanest, most vicious ************ you can find, and proceed to take a piss on his feet.

Then, when he's about to blow you beat the **** out of him so badly that some caveman a way back in the past suddenly get's knocked out. Or if it's your instructors badassedness you want to show, just find a way to sic Mr. mean on him so he can do it.

Oh and BTW, don't do this...

That was stupid.

Just tell your friends your too deadly to do any sparring. Or better yet just tell them your showing them some kung-fu as your explaining why you are too deadly to spar. Further explain how your kung fu was so quick,you move to fast for anyone else to see.

Someday you and your friends will discover ***** and no longer need to have these gay-ass circle-jerks.

I just break out the camer aand show them a video of me fighting or if there's a computer (and there always is) hit my gallery and show them something. Someone showing "moves" isnt paticularly impressive imo. What you can do with them is what matters.
