Bill "Superfoot" Wallace was known for pretty much only using 3 techniques in the ring. Even though you knew they were coming, you couldn't stop them.
I've seen judo rondori where there is only a couple of throws used.
So what's YOUR secret weapon(s) in the ring? The tried and true techniques that you always count on.

For real, I've always attacked when unexpected, and attacked hard and fast at the instant I saw the window of opportunity, often during the "interview" if I figured there was no out. What I did was situational and instinctive.
In the dojo, when I used to spar, I'd often stand motionless like a stone statue until I made my move. I guess it's the same thing.

Secret Weapons?
Well
as i once was told what wins a match is not knowing 200 diferent techs, is hiting one right, as simple as it might be
what i use 90% of the time to score is:
Ura Mawashi in the head after a serie of punches in the head (to open the guard
)
Double mawashis (one in the stomach area, another in the head)
Sweeping then punch in the head (sweeping not to leave the guy to the ground, just to open his guard)
Mae Geri in the stomach in a very low stance (im tall, so i need to bend my knee to go below someone's defences)
and as a defence tech i aways try to lock someone's leg when hes advancing to kick... that unbalances a lot :0

Not much of a secret now, is it.
No secrets. Pretty much basics that I've worked on. I'm pretty good with combinations and I use them to set up a technique.
Right reverse puch to face often draws the person's left arm up to block, so I follow quickly with a right rnd house to ribs or thigh.
I use the front kick a lot, either side, to jam my opponent when he comes in with punches. I use low front kicks to jam the thigh/upper leg of opponent when they try to move in and follow up with quick 1-2 strikes to head (seiken or ridge hands are good, the ridge hand giving a little more reach), or, jam front leg with low kick, grab lead hand and follow with punch to ribs.

Well, it works for me.Hey;
I never was in the ring, but in kumite, whether in the dojo or in a tourney, I have a nasty side kick. I've worked it as long as I've been in karate. I used bags and kicking shields to develop it. Matter of fact, I would put a mattress against the wall behind buddy holding the shield and just blast him into it.
I'd use it to kick through blocks and if I hit them on the arms, well, they tried not to block another side kick. Of course, my favourite trick would be to grap hold of the guy and nail him in the face w/ a strong right to get a blink reflex thing going w/ him. Once I saw the blink reflex whenever I threw something or even just a fake, I knew I had him, especially when they'd put both arms down and get light their feet and pull their head back...almost like what you see in an NBA slap contest, errr, fight. Those were the days before we used knuckle pads which is basically a sock over your fist to prevent getting your knuckles cut if you ask me.
....sigh...thanks for the walk down memory lane...

hit hard, hit fast, and make sure you hit first

I tend to like a technique taught to me by a kickboxing national champion. That was to throw a jab, if the guy stays where he is then you throw a right, if he moves back you throw a roundhouse off the same side as the jab...it all kinda flows together...and if you throw a high roundhouse and he somehow manages to block it then you drop the roundhouse from say head hight to rib height
My other speciality..which I have only ever practised on pads but have somewhat perfected ( although not as well as my eldest son
) is what I call the jorvik spin 
what you do is elbow to the opponents chin with your right elbow, focus through from right to left, then bring it back from left to right , then follow through with a left elbow going to the right and as you focus through spin clockwise and have your right elbow hit him...so 4 elbow strikes
..if you do it right it's as fast as a punching combination and will knock the stuffing out of anyone

You want to see my son do them
.....he moves like sh*t off a wet shovel. It fits in well with most styles..you could even do it in a very traditional Shotokan way...and you can mix it in with elbow uppercuts and bolos....one trick is to stay on one side....lot of traditionalists seem to think if you hit with the right, then you must hit with the left....wrong 
.....if it works you do it again, no vanity ...elbow him in the head, if it lands do it again...
