Tips for Your First Street Fight: Some Things to Expect 

A huge thing is recontextualizing the adrenaline feeling. 1. "I feel butterflies in my stomach" Your body is temporarily pausing your digestion to focus all of its energy into your muscles 2. "I feel so anxious that Im shaking" Your body is making you hyper focused on danger and giving you a massive boost of energy. You're shaking because you're literally overflowing with energy and power 3. "My punches feel really weak, and my fingers feel tingly and numb" Your body is numbing you to pain, and your punches feel weak because you usually measure power by how the impact feels on your fists and arms. If you're numb to that feeling, you'll feel weak. This is an illusion. You're more powerful than ever. Basically, when that adrenaline comes, realize that you aren't shutting down. You're actually turning into a powerful fighting machine.

Yesterday at around 8:30pm a punk who was wearing a black sweatshirt pulled out a pair of scissors at me. Luckily I had enough agility and I pulled out a rock because if I'd pulled out paper, he would have won.

Pro tip. MOVE. Don’t just stand there and let him punch you. Keep moving

I can imagine some kid sitting at his desk watching this, shaking and sweating

what if the guy your fighting also watches fighttips?

Fights are better when it is just 1v1 with no Spectate​rs

I Tried this tips on 5 bullies in our school now 5 of them are in the hospital Visiting me.

A real adrenaline rush is the scariest thing I’ve experienced in a fight

They other day I saw a kid getting beat up by four guys so joined in I knew he could not take five of us.

This was really effective on my wife

Another hint: when you’re in your first fight and maybe more fights the adrenaline will kick in so you will barely feel the punches too

First 10sec of fight : throwing punches Remaining : wrestling on the floor

Number 1 tip: if they wearing black air Force 1's ITS OVER

I get so much adrenaline just by watching these videos

I literally just had a dream that i got into a street fight with some dude and when i saw a punch coming, i jumped so fucking high into the sky

My grandma was talking smack like "do your bed honey and come eat food, i love you" so I took a lil tip, kept my hands up and boom straight to the chin, thank yu this saved my life

You know you watching this if you got a fight the next day

Another thing to expect during a fight that was not mentioned: I edited the second part out. Guess what it was by reading the comments 😃

Don't be scared..don't go in with the intention of winning but with the intention of hurting that person

just to throw this story out there about 2 years ago there was this kid that keeps on bothering me, insulting me and mocking me 24/7 he was bigger than me he was confident asf and i was scared shitless😂 and for about 2 days he keeps on bothering me and finally i see him face to face and told him that i didnt wanna fight him. fast forward a day later his friend told me that hes been talking shit abt me behind my back. i was pissed off and i came to see him and we both knew its going down he was motivated asf and i was there shaking because its my first ever fight. he pushed me and i puched him multiple times in the head until he ducks down looking like hes about to cry and that was when i realise not everyone that talks shit can back it up so the conclusion is.. if youre getting into a fight know that most of the time its not as bad as you think *keep in mind to always avoid fighting and dont overconfident if youre about to fight someone dont overthink it just go out there and kick some ass👊🏻😂

Mad respect for this guy for saying " avoid the fight". So Many times I felt like kicking a guys ass because he's disrespectful, but there's a reason why he says " avoid it". So many times I felt this aggravated, but maybe you feel better not doing it than doing it.

Fun fact you won't remember any of this once the punches start going

Dude how do I not remember anything during the fight. I remember throwing first punch then. Walking to the office😅😅

Mad props for making this video. Try not to get backed into a wall, hands up, don’t use more than necessary to stop your opponents aggression.

you're the first person I've heard to mention the slow spaghetti arm feeling. thanks for that.

My hand did 7 damage and he one pumped me

Best comment section i've ever seen lmao

Very accurate about the arms. Feels like jello, think like you’re not hitting hard, and slow,but if you stress test enough, your able to subside some of the nerves and become more conscious of where you are and what your doing. Nervousness doesn’t completely go away, but does subside some the more you do it. Stressful situations are a great training aid but nothing compares to the actual experience.

I got my ass kicked, but don't worry. It helps gain experience guys. I'm a much better fighter because of loss

One huge tip.....if the person your gonna fight knows how to fight don't be aggressive and try to get close cuz you will get dropped in a heart beat but if they don't know how to fight and you do.......then you know what to do

Personally one of the greatest struggles on my first fight was that I actually didn't want to damage the guy that much. However when I got there he trash talked me, I got infuriated and I beat him quite easily. Moral of the story: If you are not afraid the fight is probably yours

All I have to say is good luck to all my bros watching this panicking because they have a fight haha, knowledge is power having better awareness and technique is always gonna beat an angry hot head.

I am 17 and 18 in September and live in Sweden. I have not been a fist fight yet, the fights I have been in. People throw stuff or screaming and shit. I have also been thrown, against the ground. (Being small ain't fun yo)

Hey guys pro tip. If you're scared you're good. You're smart. Your senses are heightened and you're gonna react quick and punch quicker. If you're not scared you're either dumb or already out. Scared is good.

You nailed it describing what to expect 🤙🏼 I’ve been there and all you explained I’ve experienced.

ahhhhh I remember my first fight, brings back the good times

I dont care if I swing correctly i just care that they get hurt I WROTE THIS 2 YEARS AGO I'M TURNING 14 NEXT MONTH AND THIS HAS 1.4K LIKES?

I was afraid to do "too much" damage.

Thank youuuu!! I’m always worried about my punches not hurting, so what you said helped thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow I am going into my first fight. I have watched 3 of fighttips videos and i think i stand a pretty good chance. The guy I am fighting is a little shorter than me but has got into another fight before. Wish me luck!

i got in a fight and blacked out but people said i was going crazy and won, how does that even work

I been in a few street fights and just like any type of fighting. Remember to have confidence and accept that you will get hit. Its all part of fighting and don't let that ruin your confidence.

0:36 bro the picture in the back literally describes me in a fight and now I'm crying laughing

I watched many videos and i gotta admit in the fight I forgot everything and was just kicking punching whatever I could do in the moment😂

Fingers crossed boys. Tommorow my big fight. Tall opponent but he doesnt seam to know how to fight so I hope I win

Today I got into a fight and I remembered every thing you said and came out winner Like I was super calm during the fight And the boy and me fought and people said he won me well now I won him by a lot Thank you Shane And the boy was a bully

Tysm I tried these tricks in one of my school fights and it works every time I’ve been in a fight like 11 times lost one but won all the other ones.. god bless u

Here's a way to win: make sure there's witnesses, get hit by your opponent and pretend to be hurt badly, then press assault charges.

my first fight i was 14 i broke my hand and the guy went ko :O i still lost cause it took me 6 weeks to recover he only had a cut in his face

You gotta keep losing fights until you start winning them,

Ok, so dude is literally giving advice for the first fight in the hood. Best video I've seen today.

It's been since like grade school best for a refresher

thanks bro i can finally beat up that old lady that didn't tip me at my work

My tip: take your opponent down. Most people who fight in streets just punch but go for a take down and posture up and start throwing. 😐

DUDE, I really can't thank you enough! Awesome tips man! My grandma didn't stand a chance!

Sheeeeeesh my grandpa hasent moved in months thanks bro

Why should you be nervous before a street fight? I mean, the best way to win a fight, is just to not believe that you can lose. If you're going to fight somebody, you just have to truly believe that there is no chance for you to lose. You gotta focus and keep calm. That's what I think. Of course you should know how to fight when you're going into a fight with this mindset. This might seem arrogant and maybe stupid, but I mean, if you're going to a street fight and you believe you'll win, and people can see that in your mimic, your opponent might quit before or during the fight. You don't only fight physically, but also mentally. Think of that.

The first and only true fist fight I ever got in, we were separated and i was sure that people would be saying I lost since I thought I did no damage on him, but it turned out I fractured his nose. All I remember is how much I was shaking before and afterwards.

Thankyou, I''m learning every video I see to improve my skills when I come across any situation that involves in street fight.

my problem is is that it’s hard for me to fully commit to hurting someone, idk what it is but just the thought of punching someone in the nose and making them bleed makes me scared to fight

Thanks shane might be getting into a street fight tomorrow at school trying to knock out my bully wish me luck!.

To fight in a class say your opponent one thing only THE TEACHER IS COMING

The first facts were exactly what I experienced in my first fight, so if anyone doubting, he is telling the truth.

I have applied a lot of the things I see on this channel on other guys at the park and it works 😃

Trust me he ain’t nervous if he looking and “acting” mad

I wish I watched this yesterday lol

Good tips and yeah when u nervous and u think your punch soft so true good tips

Thanks this helped a lot, searched this up since someone wanted too fight me. My mom is nice and well in the hospital

The worst part is after the physical or mental conflict, you guys go to the same school which is extremely AWKWARD.

Never had my 1st street fight.. In the age of 30 I hope it will never comes :)

I showed this too my friend because I was teaching her how to fight because my dad thought me because he is a boxer and was on mma and this helped alot

Awe, this is so cute. It's like telling someone about their first kiss. Much respect!! Good instructions...

Listen dont try boxing shit in street fight it dont work, i was slipping all the guys bangs and he ended up rugby tackling Most fights end up on the floor Im a boxer but trust me yes it helps a lot if ur both standing but usually the fight goes to ground so learn mma

try to be calm and dont do swing punches, try to throw straight punches. (sorry for my english)

I only got into 3 fights and lost them all, now I wanna go around and get into fights just to learn

I’m having a fight soon thanks for advice

My steps 1. Punch him as hard as you can 2. Make sure to pull his shirt alot to try and pull him towards you 3. Once he is on the ground, throw as many punches as you can while he is down 4. If he gets back up FINISH HIM Basically me in a fight XP

Thank you Shane, I am probably gonna have to fight someone at school cuz they are picking on me and I made them mad. These tips really helped thank you so much

Is it bad that I'm a trained fighter and still scared of a street fight ever happening?

i never fought anyone before. but whenever i think about fighting i start to shake in excitement knowing damn well once i get in.. i won’t know what the hell im doing

Every street fight I’ve been in atleast 10+ I’ve always blacked out and can’t remember what exactly happened win or lose only certain parts, why is that?

1:16 makes me smile laugh

He's So Right 👍

1 - Let them do the talking. Talking when a fight is about to go down is a for sure sign of fear. 2 - walk them down. If they are circling and backpedaling they are scared (unless they are a known trained fighter). 3 - Contrary to popular belief, get in close, and don't be afraid to clench. Only trained fighters know how to land an upper cut. People land wild overhand punches when you are far back. Watch Evander Holyfield fight Tyson. Tyson is a world champion. He lost because Holyfield wasn't afraid to get in close. When someone is dancing and swinging wildly, move in. It shows you are not scared and they will get flustered. Most people don't wanna fight, they just want to act hard. Settle down, hands up, move in, let them do the talking and backpedaling. 99% of regular Joes are not prepared for an actual fight and are just acting for the crowd.

My first fight was in 6th grade, when I punched my opponent it felt super slow and shaky af. But after we were done my opponents face was bruised. Just cuz you think ur punches are weak, doesn't mean they are, trust me, you have dem knuckles for a reason. XD

Best fights r the ones with only ur close friends only like 3 of them watching no phones recording

I got in a fight on the court and I threw a punch and it connected on his face then he tried to throw me down but tripped and was on the ground then I proceeded to hit him till it was broken up and now one of his homies tryna fight me cause he said I cheap shotted him on the ground even though the only reason he was on the ground was because he tried to throw me on the ground

This worked omg your a life saver!

Tip: Wear black forces and they won't mess with you

just remember incase you dont do cardio often you will get GASSED

Very good breakdown

Thanks for this tip I'm going to fight for the first time in a couple days. I've done tywuando as a kid for 6 years but forgot it all. Wish me luck

I have my first fight in about a day, I tried everything I can to talk my way out of it but this dude isn't backing off, he constantly harasses me at school yells profanities at me and the sort, he is one of the cool kids everyone likes him all the girls try and get with him. And he does Maui Thai and is apparently regional champion for our region. We are about the same height same build and I think about the same speed, I think I have a slight advantage in strength though, We are both pretty big for our are (14) and we are both pretty fit as well. He just won't let up, I am half abroginal and all he does is talk shit about me and my family everytime I am anywhere near him, his friends including the girl I like sometimes join in, I Live in a pretty racist neighbourhood. I don't have much experience in any martial arts though I think I could throw a pretty good punch if need be. Once during and interschool game when he used to go to another school a brawl was started and in that brawl I beat him up pretty bad, but only because I got the jump on him as he was fighting another guy and I didn't let him regain his composure, I don't know if I could do that facing him one on one with all of his friends taunting me though, can you please help me, what should I do? I don't want to run away but if my mum found out about it she would be devastated, she has been working two jobs to take care of me ever since my father died and I really don't want to hurt her.

There usually aren't fair fights these days so i just bring a rock just in case i need to destroy some people

That really works thanks men

I love MMA, but I try to avoid fights as much as possible. If a bully challenge me I try to subdue him first, but if that doesn't work its time to make the fist do all the talking 😅

Shane have you ever thought that the bullys are using your tips to help them?

A really effective tip is to bash the nose in, it really helped when I jumped a trash talker yesterday; I am assuming he was not experienced because he kept throwing punches to my back so I buried my fist into his nose and he fell to the ground crying. Very effective video.

Thanks for self defense tips

This actually really helped me, about a week ago I got into my first school fight, I grabbed him by the arm, and threw him to the ground, then, without throwing a single punch or kick, I held him down until the fight was broken up by a teacher
