Trick questions/answers aside, answering just the exact question of a "move," and not something more broad:
A punch to the face.
There are lots of principles/concepts that can be used to deliver that punch to the face. There are lots of things you can do to make it more effective, or counter an opponent's defenses to ensure it lands, and so on, but when it comes right down to it, a punch to the face is probably the highest percentage fight-ender that exists in fighting, statistically. |
Personally, I'd say a good strong punch to the solar plexus, but a punch, none the less. |

Jamming!!
The core heart of Shindokan's Tuite; this is the hub of our brand. If my opponent can't complete said technique, then I've set in motion as to neutralize my opponent.
Nothing more enjoyable than seeing that confounding look roll onto my opponents flushed face as my jamming sets my Tuite in an effective motion.

sensei8, this is excellent and I agree. It can also be called "stuffing." This is the approach many grapplers and wrestlers use as well...close the range quickly so that a striker can be neutralized...and Tuite is grappling at close range, so it works.
Also, I agree with a lot of you as well...a good punch is a good technique.

The exclamation of our brand of Tuite is that our goal is to get behind our opponent through angles and space management transitions; not many move effectively when their opponent, you/me, are behind them...and all the while jamming them to the nth degree with one set-up/checks after another.
Shindokan is quite adamant about many things, but right at the top of the list is...If you can't get behind them, then get out; you've no business being there in the first place.
The game of chess is at foot...or hands, as per our case.

Interesting...the Tuite we do does not have us getting behind the opponent, however we do move laterally and angularly to get on the flank of the opponent, and out of their center line.

As we do as well, prior to transitioning behind our attacker because that is necessary to do on the way to getting behind my attacker. However, if the opportunity allows, then getting behind our attacker isn't necessary, even though that is our ultimate goal.
However, just what good is our ultimate goal of getting behind our opponent/attacker is I've not the effectiveness understanding of movement?! Getting behind an opponent/attacker isn't all that simple because my opponent/attacker doesn't want me behind her/him. Albeit, it can be just that simple once one understands the effectiveness of movement.

Most effective technique...
1 - Avoid fight (As said above)
If not...
I heard this same question asked to my instructor long ago... What is the best thing to do in a dangerous situation?
He replied... What is the first thing that we do in class?
Kihon and solid techniques? - pupil replied
No, before that?
Warm up and stretching ? - said pupil
No, before... - sensei replied
Before that ... we run,... (in my language no difference between jog and run )
So the instructor replied: that's it... that's what you shall do when facing a serious threat... run!
It is really "un-martial"... but the truth is that the only winners in a war are these that remain alive when the war is over... no matter which side you were figthing for.
There is not a definitive and most efficient technique. As long that your opponents are varied and different, your approach has to be adapted to the circumstances. Silver bullets do not exist...
If such tecnique existed, what would be the good in developing a whole combat discipline if everything could be solved with a definitive misterious single technique?
So... learn a lot and "be water... my friend"
