Hello and welcome to PSG.

These are just stripes created with the Pen Tool and positioned on different layers with layer masks. Grunge brushes are used on the layer masks.

Note the same grunge brush pattern on the upper ends of the yellow and green stripes.

Also note that this is probably only one or two stripes that have been duplicated, transformed, and re-positioned. The brown and yellow stripe are the same stripe just turned upside down. The orange and blue stripe are the same, one is turned around.

Layer masks and grunge brushes.

The black silhouette of the Martial art stance is added on the top layer.

This is a very simple effect.
