Wasim mentioned high, fancy kicks. I think there is plenty of room for growth in this area in the MMA arena - most fighters aren't used to seeing side kicks that much or the follow up kicks that can be thrown from the side position.

For example, lead leg side kick to the mid section to bring the guard down and then lead-leg hook kick to the jaw to hit upstairs then closing with a few punches, since the body comes down if the hook kick goes through or misses.

or side kick, spinning back kick - side kick, spinning wheel kick - side kick, spinning backfist etc.

Tree - As far as judo throws are concerned, I'd have to ask how would they differ from the grappling arsenal employed by the current no-gi MMA grappling arsenal. I'm not really a judoka, so if someone here has a good base of judo knowledge they can explain the difference.

My JKD experience is very limited - I used to attend a few classes now and then at Mousel's - so how would you use trapping in MMA against a decently skilled striker and as a follow up question, would you use boxing strikes or wing chun once you've managed to lock up the attackers hands?
