absolutely right, though i think ... a cup of tkd with a bit of karate mixed in and a pinch of kung fu = syaoran's fighting style

Hello!

I took up a bit of taekwondo so I have an idea of how it's done. Now that you mention it, I guess Syaoran's fighting style is sorta like taekwondo, but I was thinking it was more of a street fighting like thing. Haha, either that or an anime-type fighting style. I mean, I honestly think almost all anime characters fight in the same way, I mean, if they don't give a definite martial art to it. But then, there are differences. Hmm... Syaoran's fighting style is purely Syaoran! Haha, even though we can't really tell, he's good at it, whatever "it" is he's doing. :P

syaoran's fighting style synopsis:

kung fu: no- not fluid enough. chinese kung fu is usually very... what's the word... loose and relaxed compared to the next two
karate: no- while karate and tae kwon do share some of the basics, karate does not emphasis kicks as much as tae kwon do.
tae kwon do: yes and no- kicking is a BIG asset in tae kwon do but we also use punches (tho i hate using punches because it requires you to get closer to your opponent and closes the striking distance) most of the kicks that syaoran does are very tae kwon do-esque but he never does a roundhouse kick which is the staple of any good tae kwon do fighter. it's always a side or an axe strike he does. effective but becomes very predictable after awhile. throw in a couple of flips and you no longer have tae kwon do but an anime version of tae kwon do.

i know for a fact that in tae kwon do we do not have flips that can be turned into a kick (refer to the oni-slaying syaoran). it's impossible to do a backflip and kick someone in the process AND at the same time and land perfectly. the first time we see his flying jump kick (ep. 8) it defin. reminds me of a tae kwon do flying axe kick. as for the rest, they all take after some tae kwon do kicks but at times, it looks like CLAMP may have added a little flare to it.  the episode where syaoran is confronted by that stupid son who gets really jacked because of hijitsu for example- when he grabs syaoran's leg and then syaoran uses it to his advantage, that is more of a hwa rang do (different form of korean martial arts) than a tae kwon do move.

sorry for the long-winded talk but i got interested in this particular anime because a friend kept annoying me about these "awesome" kicks that this character kept doing. glad i saw this post. hope this clarifies things.

Did anyone else notise this about Syaoran's style?
Seishirou taught him, but it's very different to TB!Seishirou's style. He was much more a "stab em in the heart with your pointy hand" kinda guy. Syaoran asked to be taught how to fight because Seishirou was alao missing an eye. You'd assume they have the same style. So AU Seishirou fights differently... not really important but something I notised.
TRC!Kamui fights with TB!Seishirou's fighting style.
