Think Flynning, but with martial arts instead of swords. This page is dedicated to all of the 'amended' martial arts that populate Martial Arts Movie, manga and anime, especially high-flying spinning kicks and other telegraphed moves. Lots of times, this comes from the directors following the Rule of Cool, but many other times, they just Did Not Do the Research. If there is a Hand Wave coming up, appeals to Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers may be thrown in - after all, a "highly telegraphed" multi-spin roundhouse is a lot less easy to counter when your foot meets your opponent's face in the time it takes for him to blink, and if you can shrug off a tonne of hits and kill the one guy with one then a punished whiff is not as critical.
