Thanks,my grandma didn’t stand a chance.

Yes indeed! Love this counter-offensive tactic. I learned it about 10 years ago doing KFM, with the principle of cover and counter. We also train to close the gap as well (instead of always stepping back) - this stuffs the punch as you cover, step in, counter - or as they call it: Cover-Crash-Counter. It is a great patten disrupter of the assailant's attack. It really works - I started countering this way and when I train/spar with other MA/MMA/combatives folks it is very effective. Thanks for posting.

I practised your method with my mother. She´s been sleeping for 30 minutes. I need some advice please. Thank you.

One of the best things to do in a street fight? Back up, and pull a gun. Avoidance! That is the best answer I've ever heard! Because of my first answer. Being nice to all people is best practice. They did that in the old West. You know why.

Thanks for the complete, but compressed and easy to follow, defensive/offensive move package tip, Jon.

As a 3 time world championship Muy Thai fighter who has done numerous extensive training with the elites in Thailand and other areas around the world, I have a few comments to make about this video. First of all, his stance is impeccable. I know this because during my 2nd championship, an opponent who I KO'ed commented on my stance. This may not seem like a huge deal, but in Thailand, it is shameful to be defeated, and as such, most see even a regular officiated event as a power play. I have a fight coming up, so I can't complete the rest of this comment, but if I remember, I will come back to it and write down the other comments I wanted to make.

As a martial artist, it is important to note that once you put your feet in that "fighting stance" you are committing to fighting that person. I'm not saying this defense is ineffective, but there are still ways to defend yourself from a more neutral footing and requiring less overall skill of the defender and are effective against a wider range of attacks.

You are a crazy ginger. Lean and clearly someone who takes care of their physique. Great vid though, thanks for sharing. I had so,done start on me when I asked them to leave my place of work, he was a lot bigger and I did wonder the best way of putting him down should he lunge for the attack. Was able to diffuse the situation though so no fighting.

Excellent advice. You know what follows will be good when the first bit of advice is to compliment someone to avoid the fight in the first place.

This is a good basic for defense and countermeasures. 👏👏👏 from Thailand.

If you ever research nerve/pressure points in the body.. you’ll be better off, What he’s saying in the beginning is those essential points are basically nerve centers and pressure points which will knock your opponent out instantly if hit precisely hard enough 💯

This is all fine and dandy IF you’re both already squared up to fight. A lot of people will sucker punch and most people don’t have the reaction time to stop it, let alone get 3-4 moves in before it lands. I get reading the shoulder (if) you’re squared up. It’s just like guarding a WR/RB or guarding in basketball. They can’t go anywhere without their hips. If they’re not squared up, then you can’t even see their back shoulder half the time. You can also protect all those areas on your face with just your shoulder. I used to box and BHop came and taught us how to do it. I didn’t perfect it like he did, but it definitely helped me win some fights. The move you’re teaching is good, but I don’t like giving up my left arm in a street fight. I think you should look at the move again from arms down trying to calm someone down vs already having your arms up. Thank you though. It’s definitely worth practicing.

Whoaa.. I imagined how Mike earned that championship title.. I guess it's gotta be real entertaining

Good tutorial, I teach the same cover technique for self defense and add elbow strikes for when the attacker is too close for a punch.

Love the advice. Avoid the fight its way more effective.

Very wise way to start the video Mike. The best move in any street fight is to never get into a street fight!

Thanks, I really needed this for my wife

"Okay, I'm gonna break the wrist, walk away... Break the wrist, walk away."

And the best way to look what I have learned in my years and years of street fighting when I was a younger man is i look at my enemies sternum that's because because you can see the shoulders and hips to know when punches or kicks will come

GREAT advice for number 1

I've seen too many videos of people rolling round on the floor pulling each other's legs.The most effective way to damage your opponent is a hard punch or if you are in a situation where you need to run as quickly as possible is also a quick punch .It staggers your opponent if you land the hit and if you connect well you can knock them out clean.Stupid wrestling is not self defense.once your out there in the streets there's no rules most self defense classes don't even show how to counter block or evade an incoming punch.This video does that's why it's useful simple as.

Everyone's a street champ until they get kicked in the shins or front leg sweep catches them flat on their back and things turn painful. Also I subscribe to the Wu Tang Clan fightin' school: protect yo neck! The body/posture control is such high level from Mike that it took me three months of just leg/rope work to get even close to having such a solid form and control.

Survived many bad situations by using good punching techniques, good stance, good movement, good head movement, good footwork, being vigilant and throwing the first punch. But my best fights were won through de-escalation

Wow!!! You guys are good teacher.

What i am going against a big guy, he will totally crush me no matter what.

With another guaranteed 100 years and no debilitating health issues I am certain I would fulfill more than one of my life aspirations to the fullest.

Nice advice. Appreciate it and subscribed as well.

What great advise. Good job

Its easy to say it its hard to remember it in 3 seconds we have before fight starts😂

Hello from Sweden 🙋🏻‍♂️🇸🇪

I'm jealous of shirtless dude's hair. Lucky bastard.

What if your just scraping like crazy and your hits don't knock him out?

Amen..."CONFLICT RESOLUTION!" That is what Most people seem to NEGLECT.

Excellent video ! Thank you for sharing.

I watched this video years ago before I started being rough and rowdy and I garuntee you if u go into a fight with the expectation the other person is gonna move the way u want them to, you will get knocked out. Most people throw flurries in street fights, it’s not ufc it’s not mma it’s just people hitting people fueled by emotion. Be careful out there. Keep ur chin tucked, guard up, go for their body, learn how to wrestle. EXPECT NOTHING BUT ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING

So if 4.1M of us know this information, there are gonna be tons of people knocking eachother out in the street😂

I’m almost 14 and never get into a fight for my entire life

That's what get you knocked out in a street fight. You don't just stand still, wait for your opponent's punch to land and do something, I have seen other self-defense videos that they explode in and control their opponent, and that works in real fight.

Bullshit, It doesnt work like that in a street fight people wont throw just one punch. and against a skilled opponent its too dangerous to block like that because that shit hurts, and he will probably move when punching and not punch that wide plus its much slower to block like that and you might get caught if he's fast.

1. Don't get in a street fight if the first place 2. Carry concealed 3. Shut your mouth and politely ask for a lawyer

I would never recommend someone doing something specific in a streetfight. anything can happen. the best advice you can get is knock his ass out once he gets into your arms reach

Great tip

LMFAO, BReh, the Hair Keeps Changin' 🤣

I believe with boxing your invincible

Little did you know my next move was an uppercut GN...

Fighters with experience do not attack like this..... Before everything, they check you out. They wanna see, who you are.. After that.. When they see you are a victim... They attack with fast combos :-) Good night.

I came here to see the Bunraku triangle block in action.

This nigga just said give em a compliment

Great video but I was wondering how I could protect my second chin

I heard Street Fighting originated in the towns of Bavaria … is that true? Supposedly that's why German is often spoken with an angry inflection. To "Blitz" someone was to jump out of a second story window, in a sort of ape like fashion, on to the back of an unsuspecting neighbor. My neighbor, Hans Von Gruber, says this the true origin of street fighting.

Excellent technique. However, striking the chin with the fist is ill-advised as one is likely to break the bones in one’s hand. Modify the counter strike and you won’t break your hand.

Thank you

What do you do if you are a southpaw, lean forward?

I'll try this in a video game🎮

Cool tip!

I prefer the Roger Huerta advise. Head butt with full force. No need to pivot your foot or put your arms on a defensive position. Just look down, bend your knees and smack the mofo's nose using the top of your head then run like hell. Actually, Roger did not say the run like hell part but I think it's a good advise.

Great Videos

seems great but the thing is that people tend to throw multiple punches to the point where its not even the right arm movement

Any tips how to defend against one violent protesters attack you ? 4 to 8 people defense

If a haymaker like that lands, and you're in exactly that position, it would be the easiest thing to do a Muay Thai clinch, and then make a decision whether to scream for the police or knee them in the face.

what you will do if he hit you with his left hand?you change positions in legs?

It's like mayweather's shoulder roll counter but with the elbow up

Thought it was better to step into the person that throws the punch absorbing and also being inside for whatever you chose after and yeah avoiding the hook people seem to say would come next also close that block way more narrow than he showed too

The defense is realy good but expouses the back of the head. For me the ideal is not to turn the body to much to avoid this cause a hit in the back of the head can cause a serious concusion.

I tried avoiding a conflictual situation by complementing the raging guy telling his wife is pretty. Didn't work

You guys got it all wrong. I usually just scream "DON'T HURT ME!" then I shove my girlfriend in the way and run. Works every time.

Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face 😬😂 Edit : cheers for the likes my dudes

You should also immediately remove your shirt like Thomas in the video. This will let your opponent know you work out all the time and look good without a shirt on....

"If somebody comes and gives you problems, give them a compliment." - Mike Zhang Great advice, and it actually makes you look smart, controlled, and dependable.

is it just me or for everyone he looks like Vincent van Gogh

“Don’t get in a street fight is dangerous.......but” translation: So you wanna kick some ass, huh?

4:01 Here!

I never fought before nor do I have experience or a story nor am I proud of my no achievements.

I did this move on someone and afterwards, I heard a deep, booming voice yell: "FINISH HIM!"

I only click on these types of videos to read the internet tough guys out there giving their sage advice on fighting in the comments

People who don’t already know this stuff didn’t grow up with brothers, rough friends, or a psycho girlfriend.

IMPORTANT TIP : If you do end up missing the cross, do not pause there. You can either roll with the punch and shift out of the danger zone. Or add a left hook after the cross which strongly increases the percentage of being successful. Cheers

I see a problem here... Chances are If someone is throwing a haymaker right at you, they're ready to throw the left right afterward. You better hope your counter is faster than his second punch.

Formula for commenting on martial arts tip videos for maximum ego boost: 1.) Open with "As a martial artist / trained combatant / experienced fighter..." 2.) Write a long post humbly congratulating yourself on your abilities 3.) Insert half a sentence worth of something everyone will easily agree on ("avoid the fight altogether if possible / don't get in a headlock in the first place / be aware of your surroundings") 4.) Wait for other people also hoping to stroke their egos to congratulate you on the agreeable half sentence

"PIVOT! PIVOT!" "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUTT UUUUUP" If you know you know 😂

Who’s here because they got beef with someone

THANK YOU , THANK YOU ,fighting is ALWAYS the last result ! it"s very rare that is going to be a fair fight ,I'm 54 , back in my day , most fights were fair , and done , when they were done , no retaliation ,even some bar fights I was in , we"d both go have a beer afterwards , too many boys think a gun makes them a man . real men throw fists , not bullets .

Awesome video guys, great times hanging out!

Masterful breakdown! It seems to me to fully explain one or two movements throughly is far better then running through a multitude of techniques in a vague and unexplained manner! Thank you gentleman/warriors!

Just tried this on my daughter.Worked perfectly!

Street fighting is way different than a ring for sure. Notice how he said look at his eyes? Wrong. Get distance and look at his center mass, unless you want to get stabbed. If the guy is in your face, knee to the nuts. If he's back a few steps, low snap kick to the knee. Works every time. Why? Because he's looking at your eyes, not you leg that's about to ruin his life.

Don't " Gingerize" yourself. Wolverine is a ginger. You're doing a great job, Seth Green.

Hey man thanks for teaching me these my nan didn’t stand a chance broke her ribs so quick

Excellent! I'm going to practice this right now while drunk.

I’m literally about to fight my school bully in 3 weeks so I need to practice this video definitely did help but I’m gonna need some more

If you don't have any fighting experience than don't use your fist when you try this technique. Instead use the palm of your hand to do the hitting.

I love how many professional fighters there are in the comment section. Have you guys ever been in a real fight before?

Seth Green vs Liu Kang: FIGHT!

1:27 is the start of the beginning!

This does work well. Dad didn’t stand a chance. Especially now he’s in his 80s

Okay, a few points that need to be mentioned here. And I'm no cage fighter but I've dealt with several street attacks. 1. Staggering your feet is a good idea to also maintain balance. If they're faster than you, or come in with a shove before the punch, you'll get knocked right over if your feet are squared. Stagger them and bend the knees a bit. 2. Keep your hands above theirs. if your hands are at your sides, it can take a long time to raise them up to defend so if their hands are at their sides, yours should be at your abdomen at least. it their hands are at their abdomen, I prefer to have one arm across my abdomen and the other arm's elbow rested on that arm in a vertical position, like the thinking man's pose. You can explode from this position and defend. 3. I've never (fortunately) been attacked by someone that knows how to fight, they always either shove followed by an attack or most often, hurl a haymaker. And yes, watch the shoulders because that will indicate which arm is being deployed. This technique displayed can be very effective provided you're both orthodox and they're throwing a rear haymaker. But be careful drilling this sequence because if they throw a lead haymaker, you're going to get tattooed. 4. I personally prefer to move in. The worst place to be is where the punch is at full extension. In general you want to be just outside of their range or right in tight, If you move in and get hit with their bicep or closer to their shoulder, there is no power. Same principle with an opponent swinging a baseball bat. From experience, some thoughts I think should be kept in mind.

I remember these guys from when i was younger and loved parkour, never got too far tho, my best were like backflips on ground and stuff.

Appreciate the very sober comments about conflict avoidance and general good tips and simple strategy vs. the armchair scenarios of what you could do if you had 20 seconds to analyze the situation first in detail. Hopefully that first swing your assailant made wasn't to distract you from the knife they pulled into your gut with their other hand... Rule 1 in a street fight: you don't know anything about the aids laden junkie high on PCP packing heat and a knife with 2 buddies waiting to step in nearby who only appears to be some ornery person/drunk by themselves trying to pick a fight. Diffuse and walk/run away. Even if you "win" the lawyers will make sure you lose.

Worst move in a street fight. He's relying (through his lack of knowledge in a street fight) that the wide open target created won't be kicked or stabbed. Far too vulnerable.
