I'm sure you can find several of these moves on Youtube, but I personally think these moves look more martial arts and not just fooling around:
+ side kick (looks good & lot of power too)
+ side strike
+ palm fist
And don't forget blocking moves: high block, muscle block, low block (making sure your other closed fist is not just flailing about with no purpose but held to the waist, fingers & palm up)
1) To make those moves look impressive you have got to stretch and improve your FLEXIBILITY for height in kicks. People are impressed with high kicks even if the kick doesn't have a lot of power.
2) Excellent BALANCE can make an imperfect move still look tight because you're more controlled. Perfect form means nothing if you are wobbling all over the place.
3) Make sure your moves are fast and SHARP and just about anything you do looks cool.
This advice is for performing moves for fun or to look "kwl" - just like you asked - but if you find you really enjoy doing this and want to perfect the techniques, check out a martial arts class near you. :-)

Those aren't VERY easy moves. Try a round/jab kick.
For punches, try jabs, hooks. For grappling, try a ankle lock or a knee bar. Those are pretty easy for a person who has not done any sort of martial art before. You can search youtube or some other websites on how to deliver these attacks, i believe they do have videos on that.

Book information is basically notes for a student who has a teacher. There is so much missing information in a book that only a teacher can provide - feedback being the primary one. You will gain knowledge - thats true. But you will also learn things wrong without the correct feedback to fix your mistakes. And you will make mistakes. Use the books to LEARN about what the styles ARE. Once you start doing that you will find that book learning just doesnt cut it when it comes to the training. Too much missing information unless you already have been exposed to it. FYI: If you really want to learn, you will find a way to cross that 200 mile barrier. That will teach your first lesson: discipline and perserverance and dedication and willingness to learn: Traits a teacher seeks in a student.

Hehe.. Well, to each their own!
Don't worry.. I did this when I was younger. You're not alone.
If there's a Chinatown near by, check out their bookstore. I used to be able to find step-by-step instructions on how to do Wushu forms. Looked cool to me! But I'm sure I was doing them improperly.. You can also buy books with similar teachings. You also never know, maybe they'll inspire you to take on some professional training.
Have fun and good luck! Be sure to stretch so you don't hurt yourself.. Heck, be sure not to hurt yourself period. =D

So you want to lern some moves so you can go out and impress your friends huh? What are you going to do when somebody decides to call you on it and wants to fight to see how good you are? It will happen, and you are going to be using stuff that is totaly worthless.
I suspect many of the stories of black belts getting beat up is because of just this thing. Anyone can claim to be a black belt, and do things that "look" cool to the un educated, but when push comes to shove they can't defend themselves for c***, and beleive me someone will test you.
If you do not study under a qualified instructor what you train will be useless when this happens.

I'm afraid you can't learn to do any martial arts moves at home.
All you get, by doing so, is a distorted and retarded version of those moves that don't work.
