What, you expect a karate-ka to use new moves every single fight? It's always the same few kicks, it's always the same few punches and chops. You don't see us complaining that they're too 'dull' and 'monotonous'.

Professionals always fight with practiced moves in real life. They're the ones that work best. You see in anime that people claims 'aw that guy fights like a practice book, I can read him and counter him so fucking easily!' but in fact it's nearly impossible to do that in real life. Improvisation in fighting fails most of the time, mostly because you're trying to beat a move honed since god-knows-when with one random act of inspiration (in that case you had a chance to win) or desperation (in like 99% cases, that gets you broken teeth).
