I was so air punching during the explanation of the left, right, left tactic. It seems very against the equilibrium and center of back as well as the angled torso stance whilst legs spread, sort of like a basketball players defensive stance.
Street fights have no rules! It’s a different world. Organized combat has rules usually. I knew a guy that all he did was throw a punch to the throat in the streets. Nobody ever came back from it that I saw!
can you just do and tell it directly?
Nine times out of ten you can take their legs out. Climb on top. Keep stance and rain down blows. A lot of times they'll turn over to protect their face then you can go for choke. I've ate punches just to get in close enough to take out the legs. I don't advise it though, lol! Watch for knees.
run away sneak kill another day
My mustache curled after watching this vdeo.
A well executed side kick can end a street fight in minutes. 1v1 assuming.
I'm pretty sure 99% of the commenters here a truly a bunch of loosers. Find something useful with your life, fighting is the a very childish focus to have.
1-1 street fights are a thing of ancient past not worth discussing seriously anymore. I never in 30+ years, from being in an elementary school boy to being a middle-aged adult man, never for once fought against a lone guy or witnessed 1-1 fight, but I was jumped up by a group of thugs many more times than I wish to remember. And fighting a group is really difficult and complicated thing to do. Anyway, from my experience (which is not too bad because I never got seriously injured and never allowed anyone I had to protect to get injured), here are a few things I learned about street fighting (lone against a group):
1. If you are going to hit, hit suddenly while pretending to be scared, hit the biggest and/or the most aggressive attacker, but if and only if you are confident that you will immediately disable him, knock him down, injure him. The first punch will never get out of the blue sky, there will always be some intimidating posing, yelling, pushing. You can use that time to concentrate The point is to make other guys scared. This will create enough confusion that you will be able to walk away like a winner. And it's unlikely that you will be attacked again, the thugs will find an easier pray. Managed to pull this off several times (and I'm by no means big guy or skilled fighter).
2. Control distance, track where all the attackers are. The heaviest punch never comes from the most aggressive guy who is charging like a mad dog at you, as said in the video, he will spend all of his strength on wide swings and telegraphed headshots which you can easily defend from and also absorb quite a lot if you just protect your face and jaw. Danger comes from a guy who is getting behind you or by side and who has all the time he needs to concentrate his strength into one serious and accurate hit. So, you must always have all attackers in your sight. Easier said than done, but possible if you have a lot of open space, so you can constantly pull back while kicking and punching from a distance, or if you have your back in the corner, or you are in a tight corridor, or you have a higher ground (for example if you can jump on a bar or a bench, that's a good idea).
3. While you are standing, things are OK. Those wide swings, you can suck up hundreds of them. When you get serious and life-threatening injuries is when you are on the ground. Because, contrary to what's said in the video, once you get down, the attacker won't throw rabbit punches, he will start kicking you with his boots, stomping you, and jumping on your head with all his weight. And his buddies will join from all sides and angles. At that moment you can be MMA world champion, you have no chance. So, by any means, don't fall to the ground.
I worked a psych ward for many years. Very aggressive patients, most of which are not trained fighters, but they sure like to fight. As someone who had to intervene many times, I learned that untrained fighters want to go for the quick KO and always the head. I've been swung on so many times and you can almost count on a big right hook every time. Maybe a left if they're lefty. I'm not a fighter, I will if I have to. I'm not saying I'm a bad ass, but I'd wreck alot of those guys who have swung at me. We just weren't allowed to. Those guys became so predictable when they were standing in my face, first the yelling because they're not getting their way. Then you gotta watch the eyes and hands. You'll see it coming and should be able to dodge every time. I couldn't believe how many of my coworkers would get popped and not see it coming. Anyways, I'd always stand about an arm length from the guy who's escalating, and I'd be at an angle, never straight up even face to face. My eyes are going back and forth to their eyes and fist. Stay safe everyone and always read the body movements.
I used to fight a lot when I was younger,never lost a fight cause I run very fast
I'm one of those guys. Lol
Grew up in a poor neighborhood, and enjoy fighting. There's just something too good about fighting in the streets.
These guys are spot on.
Really solid stuff. Scientific and logical. Thanks!
If there is going to be a fight. Not of your wanting, just a bully wanting to fight and wont give up. A slight distraction is all you need. A quick look, like you are looking behind him, he will think some one else is there and possibly look, a fraction of a second of hesitation on his part is all you need. No fighting moves, they are waiting for that. Use unorthodox methods, keep them guessing is to your advantage. They're not waiting for these. A quick snap to their adams apple will bring down anybody, no matter how big. A knuckle straight to their eye is best. A chop to the side of the neck with the bottom, hard part of you hand will take them out for a few seconds. A cupped hand slap to their ear will pop their ear drum. They're starting chit, there is no rules.
They have no rules of honor 😉
Back in the 90s, I used my friends ID to get into a bar. I was 19. This guy wanted me to buy cigarettes from him and I was blunt, no I don't want them. He slapped me. But I was their with five 26 to 30 year old's and they instantly hammered him. His face was swollen in 5 seconds. But he wanted the easiest fight, so he said let me fight with him (me). They felt bad because they wrecked him instantly on slapping me. I hadn't fought since the 6th grade. This guy was 5 inches bigger than me 4 years older, and I didn't know how to fight. So I went for the football tackle. Every day since then I realize the football tackle is a pussy move out of fear.
Or you could just shoot the mfer and go on about your business
I’ve found that the wrong distance can put you in grave danger..
I'll have to strongly disagree with your theory. Boxing will teach you how to take a punch and to hold your ground without exposing your chin. If you tie up there is no comparison between a street fighter and a skilled wrestler, Judo or Grecko fighter. Like they saying goes, tough just ain't enough.
IF no one is around, you go straight for a throat punch or temporal strike – that will finish them, if there are people around, back off. The minute someone grabs you or puts their hands on you no matter who they are literally, you attack as fierce and as fast as you can. If its a group you will most likely have to terminate the leader and the rest will flee. No martial arts class or training will develop the path ways needed to fend of thugs. You have to visualize yours self being the most brutally violent person for years to develop enough nureopathways were which your switch is instant. He who is prepared to fight to the max wins. Bruce Lee " consider yourself dead in a fight and fight that way"
Sorry this bold guy is off base and clearly has never fought or spared! This is your basic Traditional Martial arts nutter! The info that was discussed was correct the bold guy just tried to argue it was wong! Also a double leg your knee does not hit the ground! Uneducatted facts. The auther was way more right than bold Traditional martial arts guy!
I've won about a dozen or so street fights. Growing up all I had was a boxing bag and watched Mike Tyson box. Never have I joined a martial arts class. I did join the US Army and served in an 2/327th infantry regiment. I've done a deployment to Kosovo in year 2000 where I did enforce martial law and you can see those videos on my YouTube channel. I've worked in security for a long time and have to take arrest and control classes. In the military I took US army combatives classes which teach some BJJ, aikido and other fighting skills. I don't take martial arts today but I'd say due to my past history of dealing with real fights that I could handle a lot of people in hand to hand combat.
Thank you for letting foke's know there's a difference between ruled trained fighting and untrained street fighters and military combat survival fighting.
In a head lock the genitals are a target?
That is why Bruce Lee was such a Great Fighter. He fought regularly on the streets. No rules. Hit or be hit , even killed. No fooling around.
Then he terrorised all the karate schools. Fought against their best and learned all the time to be a better fighter.
People say Martial arts wouldn't work in a street fight. In my opinion they're not right, but nor are they wrong. It all depends on how you learn your martial art. Martial arts usually use natural body fighting movements, and they teach you how to do it in a instinctual, and muscle memory way. And you may think that that is good in a street fight, considering you will be able to react a certain way to defend or attack in a proper way, but as I said before it all depends on the way you learn your martial art (it could also depend on the martial art you learn because some sre fake, but if your martial art is real and made for realistic fighting, like boxing or mma, then listen up) If you don't learn martial arts with different types of martial art styles, then you'll be stuck expecting someone to punch or kick or grapple you a certain way, so it'll come to be a surprise to you if you slip their jab anf they end up doing some form of head lock or something. You haven't gotten to experience how to escape that before. There are many types of martial art styles of the same martial art, so you need to learn more than just what you know. Martial arts is a life time practice, you can't just learn one and expect to win every fight. You need at least a few. And secondly, martial arts are usually in a controlled setting where nobody gets hurt, so if you haven't experienced actual swing speeds and pain, then you'll not be ready to fight another person even if you're good at fighting. Like if you've never actually got hit full out, or at least somewhat while training, then you'll probably not be ready for an actual punch. Yk?
That grab trick didn't work on me, the guy grabbed my collar so I just grabbed his then proceeded to quickly manhandle him back into his own car.
As someone who grew up getting in fights and got into many more fights in my 20's, I was MUCH better at fighting once I began training MMA. I was 8-3 in MMA, but I never came close to losing any of my 150+ street fights. This video is absolute nonsense.
As a fighter you only fight when they touch you, you don’t engage. If they touch you, then fucking fire on em 🤜
There is one answer to all your troubles…… flying knee😂!!
You grab to stay in the fight you fight to hurt otherwise it’s no use to fight fighting is supposed to hurt that’s why it best blot to fight , it no game , people get killed in fights remember this
It's not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog.
In good shape, strong but not a trained fighter. Just go mental, throw haymakers, kick, bite, head butt. Martial arts teach you how to fight a trained fighter but not how to fight a crazy man.
block their arms and use your thumb shove in their eyes make sue that person never see again.
Reasonably accurate, in my considerable experience. A couple of notes: the "sucker punch" is where they use verbal interaction or wild behavior to distract you, and hit you in a moment when you are focused on what you're saying, or glance away, or are otherwise not "in the moment" and ready. Also, watch for the sudden knee or kick to the groin. Never, ever let them "bump chests" with you, as this is another sucker punch ploy, probably followed by a knee.
Long time fighter here. Started in kindergarten. You're off on some of these points. I did train in karate, taekwondo, boxing, muay thai, MMA… I'm a military vet, lived homeless for a spell in Pittsburgh….. Imagine pure rage that is perfectly controlled. That's me. Berserker. Viking. But I know how to fight and NEVER sucker punch, trick, grab….. It's too difficult to really identify street fighter plusses and minuses….too many variables.
