I recently found myself musing on those techniques that I love seeing - and in many cases, then wishing that I could too perform - in competition. For example, I have often found myself marvelling at the elegance of a strong uchi-mata in competition and sought to try the same in my own shiai. Now while I may never be able to perform this technique with the same grace and style as Kosei Inoue or other world-class athletes, the intent of this thread to spark a conversation about favourite (dream) competition techniques.
To start the ball rolling with my own list, with those that I have already been able to complete in shiaistruck-out:
What techniques or combinations are on your dream competition 'to-do' list?
