OK here it goes:
The first picture only makes sense if Tempi asked him to punch his hand. The way he is positioned means that if he just lifts his arm, his palm is to the left of his chest, which would mean that Kvothe deliberately punched his palm. If I misinterpreted his pose, and he is actually holding his hand on his chest to stop Kvothes blow from hitting his sternum, this will only work if he is much much stronger than Kvothe (which he might be, but we talk supernatural levels of strong here). You see when you stand completely straight and with your feet directly under your shoulders (like Tempi does in the picture) it is very easy to push you to the ground. So when I stand like this and someone punches me (even if I intercept the blow), it will most likely cause me to stagger back. A more realistic solution, that would still look very elegant, is to bend your uper body slightly out of the way (for example to the right) and slap his hand to redirect it in the other direction (so in the above example, I bend my body to the right and slap his hand to the left).
Tempis posture in the second picture is good (even so not even lifting your arms is a sign of extreme arrogance, but I guess that is the point ). But for a sidekick (a kick were the force is directed from the left to the right or vice versa), Kvothes hand positions are wrong. When you kick, you have to move the arm on the side you're kicking with in the opposite direction to keep your balance. I learned it the way that the other hand will move to the other side of my face to shield it from a possible counter, but I have seen other martial artists do it another way. So to recap: left kick, left arm goes back, right hand is up to cover your face.
In the next picture Kvothes kick is rather ineffective, you cant really get much speed from that movement. But If he would just continue his movement, he could still hit Tempis shin, his knee, or , if he aims slightly to the left, his genitals. So if you try to avoid being hit there are basically three possibilities: get out of reach (just take a step pack), go closer, to a distance were the kick will not do much damage (a kick has the most force at the end of the leg, so if you just move closer it would still hit you, but hurt/unbalance/damage you less), or parry the kick. The last one can be done in a variety of ways. You can stretch your leg and block his kick with your foot before he can really move his leg and get much speed (this looks extremely cool, if you can pull it off. But it is rather difficult, because you have to move faster than your opponent when he attacks). Or you can lift your leg and intercept the kick with your shin. If he uses a low kick aimed at your thighs, you angle your shin outward to protect them and if he aims at your genitals you angle your shin inward. Both times it is important to shift your weight forward to counteract the force of the kick.
Picture Number four shows a left hook. When you execute this blow it is important that your fist and your arm form a straight line. It looks like Kvothes fist is angled, which means that he would hurt is wrist if his blow would connect. Otherwise the body posture of both combatants is fine.
The last one shows a headbutt, but Tempi is doing it wrong. He is using his head like an axe, but if Kvothe would just lower his head a bit and would move it forward, Tempi would hit his soft face on the hard surface of Kvothes upper scull. A proper headbutt is more of a ramming motion, if that make sense. You lower your head, so that your face is down and the just push forward with your skull in a straight line. This maneuver was actually used by Tempi in the barfight.

I hope that helps. I should note that I trained mostly in Krav Maga and Muay Thai, with a little bit of german style longsword fencing on the side. So Other people may have other solutions/moves.
And again I really like your style and I hope that I did not come across as condescending

Not at all! I inmensely enjoyed reading your feedback, it was really helpful. And even so that you took the time to write your thoughts, thanks for that, not many people care to give a full opinion about a drawing here in deviantart. I'll try to apply what you said next time I draw some fighting!

Gracias! La verdad es que Tempi es un personaje poco desarrollado en los libros... salió de escena super pronto, y eso me apenó bastante, porque para entonces ya era mi favorito en Temor de un Hombre Sabio. Todavía tengo alguna idea más con él en mente...
