Very original. It's a nice reminder of the superhero cartoons of the 1960s.
This was a project I made for school sometime last year, the prompt was just to do a how-to animation on whatever we wanted.
Heavy Inspiration from ultraman and other tokusatsu series' :)
Once again HUGE thank you to CraigSmith, he had the perfect sound libraries for what I was going for.

The fluidity of your animation is excellent, and the use of different camera angles is a great decision as well. The animation is very expressive, with good sound and music. It's a funny animation with great action. Now I know how to fight—very cool! The silhouettes are very readable and are a great asset to your animation.
@DaddyBen what is it like animating in Toon Boom Harmony?
@DaddyBen if you were to start over learning animation, how would you begin?
@DaddyBen the way you animate the fluid motions of the arms and some of the action scenes reminds me a bit of Superjail! I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence, I primarily see it in the arm movements.
Thanks for the review! To answer your questions, working in harmony is great. There's a lot of options and it's really easy to adjust things after they've already been drawn, though I'm not sure I'll pay for it once I no longer get it for free from school.
If I were to start learning animation again, I'd probably focus a lot on getting stronger poses and perspective. After that though, starting small with things like ball bounces and jumping to get used to using arcs and all the 12 principles of animation. That way, once those are out of the way the better posing would allow for more dynamic and interesting shots.
As for Superjail, I have seen it and am a fan! I can't say it was a direct inspiration but the animation in that show is really good an unique, there's a good chance I picked up something subconsciously while watching it.
