@@SIRO_GLYDER i mean... if your life depends on a brawl... and if that is an option, yeah... seriously, go for it, that's certainly a way to disable an assailant.
Ignore the balls unless you have element of surprise; guys learn to instinctively protect them from an early age. Instead take out their knee from the side. Knees are weak from the side and they can't walk after regardless of pain.
@@acwor7857 Nah, this is literally what the Israeli Special Forces teaches. The fact we don't here in the US is asinine. Especially when people are complaining about guns killing people. Okay, don't kill? Permenently maim so that person will always remember HOW & WHY they are maimed.
As an experienced fighter I would say that all the tips for someone with no fighting experience are like tips for someone with no experience in being a lawyer. Sure, you can kinda get around some situations that aren't that serious with faking confidence or doing one simple move that often works in easy cases, but ultimately I would prefer not giving any advice at all to avoid creating a wrong sense of competence that might end up doing more harm than its worth.
This is absolutely right you dont know if the dude you're fighting knows how to properly fight or is just a thug so Id say that the best way to face a fight is trying to avoid it, since you will avoid injuries and a possible courtcase
hands down, best advice is to just avoid fights. I've been doing Muay Thai for a while and I've realized that every day people have horrible instincts when it comes to fighting. I agree, I try not to give people advice lol.
idk abt normal peope( i too am trained) but i know when i have an adrenaline rush, and thats when ur body knows that u r bouta get a shit ton o dmg go all out then, combining all ur force(voluntary) with the adrenaline shit makes great dmg especially done with weak parts
@@cuckar4503 The problem is that this energy will simply make an incompetent fighter, an energetic incompetent fighter. Sure, being energetic is better than being lethargic, but laymen often have too much confidence in adrenalin. More than once did I hear BS like "he is not that strong, but if he is angry he can take on ANYONE". No he can't, Robert. He usually punches with 10% of his maximum potential and when angry he punches with 20%. This might impress you, but some people out there punch with 80%.
@@AliothAncalagon bruhhhh, that depends totally on how u are, and even without anger u can punch with 30% i was justtttttttttttt okay, i would say i might sound wrong but i didnt mean u would increase ur power 10 times with adrenaline, its just, way more dmg, all i wanted to say is, when u get an andrenaline rush, u know u have to go wild
"There are no rules in a fight." I was in the supermarket one day, a long time ago, and this snot decided he wanted a piece of me. I reached behind me as he was growing his balls by talking crap, grabbed a bottle of bleach, and opened it. He shut up, looked at the bottle, and looked at me, a bit startled. I said, "Go on, you were saying?" I lied. There is one rule in a fight: Live.
that can barely be understood as a fight, also, if a person knows how to fight will immediately know the options, one, you trow the bleach at them, to avoid great damage just move quickly of the way and use a shield, be it an object or your own back, option two, you trow the bottle open, that is easier since is basically the same but with a solid object instead of the liquid, third, you are bluffing, anyways, a person that knows how to fight is not picking random fights over nothing, you learn how to fight to not use it ever if you are lucky, i used it against two thief that tried to steal in my house, i didn't even needed to trow a punch, the stance was clear enough, if they tried anything against me they would have ended up in the hospital instead of in prison (and then go to prison)
@@alenasenie6928 Ponder getting bleach in your eyes. ANY! I have a gallon of ammo. I had no desire to use it, it achieved the result I desired. He left, and I was left alone.
I remember doing this too. It was HS drama tho. Not serious at all. It was outside school and this girl would keep taunting me cuz I got on the track team and she didn't. I got fed up after a couple of days. So I pulled out my pocket knife, opened it and said "Go on. I wanna hear the next sentence" She gave me a surprised look and walked away. It sure was satisfying
1. Soft against hard, hard against soft: Open palms against bony body parts, closed fists against meaty body parts. 2. Read _Facing Violence_ by Rory Miller for literally everything else. It's the best preparation you can possibly get.
@@username-ru6ul Obviously, physical training is necessary. But there's a lot that you'll get from that book that no amount of physical training will give you. Remember, these are _tips_ to win in a fight.
Would you rather break your fist on someone’s face or them hit you so hard they break their fist on your face? Dunno about you but I’d much rather take a palm strike to my face than a closed fist breaking my orbital bone, it’s very unlikely you’ll break your knuckles and you would not notice it dur in a fight, never seen 1 fight where someone breaks their fist and stops, not only that but you have 2 fists 2 elbows 2 knees, 2 legs and 1 head, breaking your fist isn’t gonna stop the fight anyway, palm strikes are practically useless compared to a closed fist
Here's some tips from someone with experience teaching practical martial arts: -Running is not always an option, and SELF defense is not the only reason to fight. You may be surrounded, caught by surprise, panic and freeze in place, need to protect someone else from an attacker, need to separate other people fighting, etc... so don't fool yourself thinking that you can just not fight all of the time, and basic fighting skills are IRREPLACEABLE in those situations. -If you don't know any grappling and you get grappled, fight dirty, and when I say dirty, I mean DIRTY. Bite whatever gets close enough to your mounth, as if you were trying to take a piece out. Pull his hair back to punch him in the nose. Eyes and testicles are a no brainer, just be careful with permanent damage to the eyes as it can be treated as excessive force by your country's laws. If you're on the ground, do not let him get up or open space between you two, or he will be able to punch and kick you freely, so if you're at the bottom, glue yourself to him and don't let go until you know you can get up somewhat safely. -Protect your head. Keeping your arms up will help against attacks you would't be able to react quickly enough, and if you have no experience, that's most attacks, so keep those arms shielding your head. -Improvise weapons. Loose stones, dirt/sand/mud, chairs, bicycles, or really anything that is hard and heavy enough. Throwing large objects is great not only to maybe hurt the attacker, but also serve as obstacles, so you can facilitate your escape or bide your time until help arrives. Using your enviroment as obstacles is also great, use trees, lampposts, street signs, doors, stairs, tables, etc to make it harder for your attacker to get to you. -YOU WILL NOT BE UNSCATHED, endure whatever hits you take and keep going. If you stop because of the pain or injuries, you'll become a punching bag. -Your ego is not as important as your life, if you can stop the fight by pleading, do it. It's not worth it taking a beating to protect your ego, even just a couple of punches are potentially fatal due to internal hemorrage. -If you don't know how to kick well, don't kick unless your opponent is completely off balance. If you're mediocre at kicking, stick to the very basics, no kicking higher than the stomach, it's not worth the risk of being unbalenced. If you're VERY good at kicking do whatever you feel confident in doing, just don't overdo it. Some people will say high kicks are to risky to use in real fights, well, some people never took a front kick to the chin. But again, ONLY kick if you have enough experience with kicks, this bit of advice is a bit outside of the "no experience" theme, but it is a pet peeve of mine, so I had to talk about it :v -Avoiding the fights is of course ideal, but we do not live in an ideal world, so sometimes even if you do your best not to fight, it will not be enough. How likely it is to get in a fight depends mostly on where you are, so your best bet to avoid fights is to live and work in a peaceful neighborhood, but of course that's not an option for everyone, so, reinforcing my first point, basic fighting skills are IRREPLACEBLE. -If you want to be able to hold your own in a fight, go train, there's no magic solution to it. Not even weapons like guns, tasers or peper spray are a substitute, as in a real fight you'll most of the time not have enough time to pull your weapon before the fight starts.
It's hard. Because sometimes in a life or death situation, the gang of people will fight for BLOOD. So even if you fight dirty, the group will take turns jumping on your head, or stomping on your neck. They don't care if you die. I just stay inside anyways at all times. It's a bit inevitable when you get in these life or death fights. I've seen people on the internet who fight dirty after getting jumped get their eye kicked out, and others had their skull caved in by a tire iron. By gangs. You always need to fight in these scenarios when you are cornered, but most of the time in situations like you describe. It will be difficult with no experience.
This. If it's a truly dangerous situation and you've got no choice, do whatever. Don't worry about anything. You don't know when, or if they're gonna stop. Number one advice for getting in a fight - don't, unless there is no other option. It should be a last resort.
Also don’t always aim for the head. Your skull is VERY HARD, your knuckles probably aren’t as hard as someone’s skull and you might break it. The stomach area is very weak to attacks, if you hit someone correctly there they might crumple.
"Practice spitting in your free time, a spit in the eye will blah blah blah" You can always spot the ones who haven't got a clue what they're talking about 😂
I mean i guess a spit could maybe cause some mental pain, close one of your opponents eyes, and maybe give them an infection like a week later, but that being the only thing he said instead of it as some bonus semi serious tip is pretty telling.
None of this advice matters if you can’t stay calm. Thinking about fighting and actually fighting are two different things, in the moment, allowing passion to take hold of you is tempting, but as we know mad passion burns bright but it dies quickly. You must remain lucid if you have any chance of winning.
I must say this is really bad advice. If you're in a serious fight your job isn't to stay calm and avoid being injured, it's to make sure you knock the opposition out before you can get hit. The moment they want to fight, you need to go absolutely wild on that bitch, knock them to the ground in an instant, and beat the shit outta them.
Also don't swing it around wildly, that'll leave you needing to recover if they try to get around you. Keep it pointed at your target, and use it to control the distance between you and your opponent. The more control you have over the distance, the more difficult it is for your opponent to get into a range to be effective.
I'm pretty sure the flourish I do with my machete is I bit faster than most people can see. And people can tall I train with it because of the cuts on my body. So Tell me. If I'm not afraid of cutting myself with this big blade that has a saw on the other side, how likely am I to be afraid of you? Not to mention I train throwing knives jic my opponent has a gun, because it's hard to aim while you're dodging. And honestly most people decide not to fight me, I look too eager, I start getting shaky and they start worrying. My body is already in fight mode while the words are flying, I'm literally baiting people at that point to try me; I never start, but I do end.
There are three structural weaknesses that no amount of training can make a person fully resistant to its effects. The knee: the largest and most exposed joint on the human body. The Solarplexus: An area just underneath the sternum that is a part of the diaphragm that controls breathing. Lastly an area between the jaw and the ear, a direct hit with decent force is a near-certain knockout. You don't always need to win the fight, wish them luck chasing you with a broken leg, or standing straight when they can't breathe.
Head clapping is another good one that not many people know about. Good luck trying to catch someone when the fluid in your ears is swirling and you can't even stand straight
@@MataNui. that is what everyone that knows how to fight does, you can't win against someone that knows, and you will be like an adult kicking a baby if you are the one initiating it against someone that doesn't know.
@@MataNui. yes but you should always prepare if there’s just no way to evade the fight. People pick fights over petty reasons like race, religion, etc. You should always prepare for self - defense just in case.
If you’re heavier than they are, tackle them and make it a ground game. Weight is the number one factor when it comes to a fight, especially when both combatants aren’t trained fighters. If you are lighter than they are, don’t let them get close to you, run away, find a weapon, find any tool that can help you keep them off of you. If you are equal weight, be prepared to get hit. Life isn’t an anime or a MMA fight where you are going to be dodging and weaving to open up the perfect spot for a punch. As Mike Tyson has said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched.” Strike first of the situation calls for it, or at least be prepared to take a shot to the face or nose. Punches hurt, but they hurt more when you’re unprepared.
Trust me, MMA is the best you got in a street fight, really the only time you should truly run is when there is more than one person or they bring out a weapon.
Depends on alot of stuff. But if he doesn't guard, hit him in the throat with a punch. Just wait for him to launch the first one. Therefor no matter what happends, it's self-defense.
@@xxZwei dude what? Aiming for the throat isn't that hard. Not to mention if you land a good hit to it it'll do a lot of damage. Hitting someone in the throat hard enough can even kill them
@@huh325 wtf? The throat in a dynamic fight where the person is not standing still and the throath being so easily guarded just by looking down? ffs... don't try to look badass. As stupid as landing a liver shot in another comment as it was easy... Want something easy? Throw a frontal kick to the stomach and back the fuck off and run.
Rule number one is avoiding the fight in the first place. Run or talk your way out of it or whatever but the bottom line is just don't fight. Chances are you'll hurt yourself more than you'll hurt the other guy.
if someone try to fight you and suddenly apologize,"i mistake you for someone else" and tries for a handshake , DONT do it. Thats the moment where him or a friend that you didnt saw tries to sucker punch you.
If they shorter than you and do this then you can grab go along with it and then throw into the floor and if there teaming then you also whack them There is no such thing as end lag on attacks because it isnt a fighting game
This doesn’t happen in real life, people don’t think deceiving thoughts when under the heat of the moment, they will just sucker punch, then won’t try to trick you they’ll just randomly swing on you mid sentence, don’t speak to someone who is confronting you, you have 2 choices 1. Strike first (make it count and don’t stop until they quit or get KO’d) 2. Walk away no matter how much of a weakling you look (if that isn’t an option revert to option 1)
Fun fight fact: throwing a basic punch to the liver of the body, or the right side of the opponent's body is probably enough to give them immense amount of pain worse than one to the head which can stagger them abit. Punches like this are used alot in boxing matches!
That's why you scream get away or help before the a$$ kicking.witnesses also help. Or you kick their a$$ where no one sees.where it becomes your word against theirs.
Underrated advice: be loud If you can multi-task, scream as intimidating and loud as possible whenever you do anything. It's irritating, gets people's attention to break up the fight and most of all it's easy to do effectively, even if you were never in a fight before
Quick Tip if you dont know how to fight: Just don't fight, run, or do anything but fighting. You can cause more damage to yourself than the other if you don't know how to give a proper punch or kick, and the risk of hurting yourself is higher than you could think. I went to Tae-Kwon-Do for 5 years (i was a kid, i think i finished when i was 14 or 15 but still) and i got to the last belt before black (idk how its called in english, but basically a red belt with a black tip, at least thats how it is here). I wasn't very good at it, and didn't really was into it 100% but even if i was really focused on it i would try to always dont get into fights, unless you are a really experienced martial artist (probably at least 10 years of practice). My teacher always taught us to, first, don't use our knowledge to damage others, only for self defense, and second, to avoid fights everytime we could specially if the other has any sort of weapons, consumed alcohol or drugs before, etc... To give a proper punch (from what i remember) you have to close your hand with the thumb outside the fingers, and punch only with the knuckles of index and middle fingers. This is because those are the biggest and strongest knuckles of your hand, and it helps to not twist your wrist (you can try it with a wall, not punching just posing your hand in that position, and see how if you use any other knuckles your wrist will twist). Your other hand should go in the side of your hip, closed with the thumb outside too, with the palm pointing up. Now the legs: If you use your right hand to punch, your right leg should go to the back and the left in front. This is mostly because stability. I may be wrong because i don't remember exactly how it was, so if anyone knows please tell me, but thats what i remember you should do to give a correct punch. Of course this in a real fight would be way sloppier or even useless, specially the legs and the other hand's position. Now to defend yourself against a punch or even a kick; With the outside part of your wrist, doing kind of a circular motion outwards, you try to touch the other's inside part of the wrist. It will probably hurt a little if you aren't used to it, but the person punching will feel it way more. Again, maybe im missing something. Giving a kick is more difficult than what it seems. There are multiple types; Front kick, given with the metatarsus (basically the "palm" of the foot, but the part that its just below the fingers). Normally given to the other's front torso, and it can be given to the head. Not very contundent but its pretty robust and can push easily. Side kick, given with the "edge of the foot" (if you turn your foot 90° inwards, literally the top edge of the foot). This is a very contundent kick, it can push with more force, but also its pretty harmful. Its normally given to the torso or even the head. Circular kick, given with the top of the foot. Its given to torso and head, but the sides of them, normally given to the head. Its probably one of the most common kicks in general. And there are a lot more techniques, kicks and punches that i didn't write or forget, but those are the main ones. You can search on internet how each technique is called since im giving them a rough-translated name. Don't try anything you see on the internet. If you are interesed there are lots of places you can go and learn from a real teacher, but make sure its a good one because some schools will just give new belts every 2 months or so. I normally would get a new belt every 4-6 months, and a new full-color belt every 9-12 months, and had to do an exam before. If you are a child (idk the age exactly, but lets say below 14) you start breaking boards in yellow / yellow green tip belt, and only with kicks, at least from my experience. Of course the techniques you have to use to break the boards get more difficult each time you get a new belt, for example i think when you are blue red tip you need to break a board doing a 180° heel kick. If you like sports and/or martial arts i recommend taekwondo. It has techniques from lots of other martial arts, and in the higher belts you learn personal defense, including grips (and how to get out of them), sweeps, and all sorts of stuff. I left because im not a sportsman, i prefer not doing anything and i wasnt paying enough attention so it was difficult, but not because it was boring or something like that, but i guess that depends on who teaches it. My teacher was a really good one, and my classes werent that full of people (it would go from like 7 to 15 or something) so it was pretty personal, and most of my values come from what i learnt there.
TKD does not teach you to fight, its an artistic martial art. Very flashy kicks, but gets wrecked if you step up against someone who knows how to fight for real. However the tip about running is good, if you havent gotten into a fight before, you are likely going to lose. And depending on the situation that could mean death, not worth the risk.
If I’m not mistaken when punching you should twist your arm while punching? I’m pretty sure this is correct. I’m pretty sure this is also why you have your other hand with the palm facing up so when you make your punch on that fist you would twist your arm whilst outstretching it. (I think)
@@seeky2366 im talking about twisting your wrist, not your arm. also if you are talking about something like hooks thats more a boxing thing. In most martial arts you need to have your arm straight when punching
As someone who’s trained in martial arts, blocking a punch or a kick requires little to no effort if you move as their fist or foot passes the waist or mouth, allowing you to either follow up or run, I will say that training is different then irl, but having had to prepare for a fight once, your body will want to flood you with adrenaline (makes you move significantly faster and uncontrollably) the key is to not let yourself fall into that hole, narrow your gaze and take a breath (even a small one can help stabilize the racing feeling). I have never had to truly fight someone yet, but I know a lot of people who think they could actually best me in a fight (out of all of them...only two or three could truly get me tripped up, downed..probably not, I know how to block most fist and leg based attacks, and dodging the ones I can’t block. I was an orange belt when I quit but since then I’ve found that even if you’re not getting a better understand of what you learned, if you put the time and effort in you can train your body to expect some very fast and very powerful strikes slamming into someone. And a lot of people I’ve noticed may have the right stance, but have no actual power in staying in that stance easily, another problem is a lot of people think swinging with all they have is a great play...that’ll get you shoulder slammed or just knocked out of the fight immediately and with a lot of pain, small people (I’m 5’5 so you know I’ve learned how to get bigger people out) if going against someone taller than you, don’t tense and definitely do not stay still, keep light on your feet as you move, circle them in a measure pace (if you’ve had even a smidgen of any fight training, it will kick in and you will feel the want to just let lose, let them guess) bigger people have long reach, use it against them if fighting in enclosed space, speed and quick but strong attacks at close range will quickly turn the fight one sided when the bigger person can’t use their hight and reach against you, same for the bigger/taller people, just reversed everything. The last thing I notice about people that don’t know how to fight is the way they react wayyy to quickly, essentially completely missing the window of blocking and striking. They also have a nervous energy or even shifting in their feet like they want to run, whereas if you’re a trained fighter, the feet will be pointed forward and very quickly utilized in a fight, whether straight forward kicks (don’t recommend as this leave you open and unbalanced) or side kicks (depending on your skill and how high of a belt or other marking in status, and even just how comfortable you are using them) will unbalance you in the spilt second of slamming it into the person, to remedy this... pull the kick down as it connects (this will hook the foot on the neck if fighting against someone of equal hight, and if your against taller adversaries...well, your legs will be useless against hight unless you wanna remove the socket completely from your body) that’s all from me so others can respond lol (18 and I still have instances where I go from chill guy to stances power and very much dead look...1: that’s not a dead look, that’s me watching every little thing you do (this was proven by one of my friends dropping something /no, wasn’t a fight before or after, was just stressed from tests and things/ and me catching it about a quarter of a second after leaving their hand...no I’d known I could move that fast before but I went a lot faster this time... and I wasn’t even paying attention) ok now I’m done
Big guys with strong upper bodies, tall guys, and fat guys are top heavy. Get Inside and if you get a opening kick their knee hard with the bottom of your foot inward or outward. Most have weak knees and will go down or at least stagger. Also straight punches quick direct and aim for most damaging parts. Nose, groin, throat, and just under ribcage arcing slightly upward. You will knock the air out of them. Nose hurts, will cause eyes to water. Groin , pain obviously, throat though difficult can also cause your opponent to have trouble breathing. If you are taller chances are you have longer reach. Use that to your advantage have you seen boxers that reach out their arms over and over towards an opponent but not punching? Alot of times they are measuring their reach.
Best tip: don't. Those of us with experience worked hard to get it, anyone with experience that matters when sober came by it honestly so just fight like a man and lose with dignity
If you're running into someone in the streets: Short guys are more dangerous than tall guys. Tall guys look intimidating, but they expect their opponents to back down because of it and won't have as much combat experience. Short guys feel like they've got something to prove and are much more likely to pull out a knife, and it's all downhill from there...
@@taffymatt1366 ...Yeah, my bad. Editing now. Wanted to write "Tall guys are less dangerous" at first but figured it would be better the other way around, just forgot to also swap the Less for More.
An add on go this If you're in the street and someone is antagonizing you and yelling at you, keep walking. They wanna be hotshit and cool, they want you to fight, so don't. If someone is walking fast at you with no emotion on their face and looking towards you, that's the person who has already justified an attack in their mind, has a target (you), and have decided they won't change their mind. The sweatiest, saltiest beast is a creature with nothing to lose, so in other words the person with absolutely nothing to lose and has a plan is the one who is a danger, not the cocaine smoking methhead down the road who yells at anyone who passes the street On the same point as that, if someone asks for the time on your potential watch just raise your arm to see and keep your eyes on them while also looking at the watch. If they want to harm you they would have expected you to look down at your watch to get a free hit. The "do you have the time" attack is one of the most common for muggers since it's a normal question someone might ask and most people who check their watches will end up looking down at their watch and not pulling their arm up and keeping their head forward
Here’s a tip I learned from my dad while he was giving me training: “Do whatever you can not to get into a fight. Talk them down, just give them your wallet (don’t carry cash on you), take all the steps in conflict deescalation to avoid violence. But if it all fails and they still wish to harm you, or they never gave you a chance to start, assume they mean to severely injure you or worse. They cannot be talked down, they are not a person, they are a threat to your life and if you don’t eliminate that threat they will eliminate you, and surely someone else after you. So end them now. Cripple them so bad they will never be able to harm another person again. Be fast, be relentless, and if you must be lethal. The only rule in a fight is to survive.” He was a special forces trained machine. I didn’t know for years the training I was getting was definitely not “normal” training. I’ve done good at never getting into a fight so far, and I hope to keep it that way. I really don’t want to hurt anyone, and the training I received is extremely violent and all I know so I’m afraid of going into “fight mode” and really seriously hurting anyone.
Protip - if you ever go down in the fight, you can get the upper hand back by grabbing some dirt or sand on the way up. Remember you suck at fighting but everyone sucks at being blinded.
When you start punching dont stop. Number 1 problem when I taught people to spar is they would throw one punch and stop. If you throw a punch do not stop, throw fifty or sixty.
@@kickingwithchay3032 Ofc I know to use that but I'm saying use it when they are on the ground then it's better to do what I said,once they are on the ground they are most likely blocking them selves so why still hit them with you're knuckles only to mess them up, right? Just save energy and use the side of the fist, then when they think you're getting tired and try to make a move thats when you start mixing in with hitting them with you're fist. That makes them panic.
One thing I’ve seen if you are ever in a conflict with an opponent that is bigger/stronger than you is to shove your hand in their face to push them back. Don’t try to just push them regularly since they will overpower you.
If you're not in fear for your life, you need to avoid the head. If you end up in prison, you will be doing a lot more fighting. Instead of sand, use dirt that you obtain from a graveyard on Saturday at midnight & toss 3 pennies over your left shoulder & don't look back. Your opponent will not only be temporarily blinded but also cursed.
@@captainahab5522 Just no. An unexperienced fighter will always throw their head back instead of moving their guard up. To get into the position to throw a powerful uppercut you need to be about a foot away from them, also bad advice. Then there's the fact that an unexperienced fighter doesn't know how to throw a proper uppercut. They'll throw it with their arms and it'll bounce off even the softest of surfaces. Better off throwing a straight right/left at their liver or anywhere on their body
That wouldn’t work on me since the moment a fist is raise I’m pulling back or slipping to the outside, both make me step so you’ll miss, also a curbstomp style kick is slow, better to throw a fast push kick or side kick and tbh it’s not as devastating as you’d think, if their legs are slightly bent it’s not gonna do much especially if their weight isn’t on the shin shin that you hit, barely do anything
I made the decision to keep myself out of situations that might turn into physical conflicts when I was drunk and told one of my buddies that I thought it would be fun to box in a tight, concrete-walled hallway. He outweighed me by a hundred pounds easily, and he had years of boxing experience. I was an amateur at best in my stupor. He let me get some poorly-thrown shots in, then hit me with the right hook you'd see in boxing matches that seals the deal. Problem was, my head had nowhere to go but into the wall. I was out instantly. I changed my perspective on fighting completely after that - it could have been so much worse than having a minor concussion. My advice on fighting: don't fight if you don't have to. Don't fight drunk. Don't start the fight if you can't finish it - but if you start it, you better know how to end it as fast as possible. Protect your head and neck. Always attempt to diffuse the situation. Whether you're just messing with friends, trying to have a good time, or in a real heated situation, don't punch above your weight or skill. Train to defend yourself, not to instigate. And stay humble. If you knock someone out, help them back up. Being a douchebag after winning will probably get you jumped by your opponent's buddies in short order. Good luck out there.
U can actually last a while doing any physical activity by controlling your breathing properly source my old CO who flew a RF-Phatom and had to specialize exclusively in defensive manuvers since R series generally have no offensive capabilities. For instance violently forcing all the air out of your lungs like a cough forces blood into your head, in through the nose out through the mouth with about 2 second pauses in-between will increase your stamina as long as you maintain it, there are more I can't remember. Also fighter pilots are generally really ripped because they have to flex and hold all their muscles at once to keep blood in their head while pulling G's which as u can imagen is really exhausting especially when u have to do it while maintaining 360 awareness, tracking targets, controlling your breathing, and maintaining a 2 million dollar aircraft which is like a constant test in its own right.
No it is in through both nose and mouth, and out through nose only. Trust me if you exhale via mouth you may knock yourself out by asphyxiation. Each breath should be in for about 4 seconds or longer if you can, the longer and deeper the better. And exhale should be faster, and when you do striking you exhale all at once
Hit first and run like hell. Don't look back, just run and keep running ... like hell. Always remember: there are no heroes, they were all buried in cemeteries and most people don't even remember their names or their deeds.
@@Ar-yp6nh Gun expert here (trained in small arms repair, shoot guns a lot and even do gun smithing as a hobby). If they have a gun then there are three points to make 1. Its a lot harder to hit a moving target. Even then your attacker probably has bare bones training so they'll probably be aiming for torso shots or headshots if they're dumb. 2. Adrenaline. Humans can die in one bullet or take 10 and keep fighting. Your natural will and adrenaline basically makes you the incredible hulk and only gets better when hurt. Even if gun fire begins you have a good chance to survive even if you are shot once or twice. Also, don't do self care. Go to a hospital if you ever do get shot 3. Loaded. Most people who have guns for robbery probably have never used them because they doubt they will need to and 9 times out of 10 the gun isn't even loaded (if it's a revolver, make sure to check. Very easy to see if it is a not, I'd recommend looking up pics of loaded and unloaded revolvers)
Use your head, the best defence is a solid right cross and never surrender. Winning a fight is rarely about beating them into submission it's more often about breaking their morale. An angry fighter is a fighter that isn't thinking. That whole no such thing as fighting dirty will get you killed more often than not, behave honourably up until its clear your enemy won't. Don't be afraid to take an asskicking as long as your not being victimised, it builds character and will prevent you getting stabbed when you poke the wrong guy in the eye.
Just throw straight punches, forget about hooks. They're too complicated for someone who's never trained on them. Don't go for the head as you'll break your hand. You don't have to outlast their morale. You have to last until the police arrive to break it up
Nah mate. Fighting fair is where fights last for 30 seconds+. Ones that were over in 2 seconds are ones where guy got sucker punched. Don't get sucker punched, EVER
@@snakevenom4954 assuming they do. And aiming for the body is just gonna make the dude laugh at you unless you can hit hard and in the right place, the face is your target. You probably will hurt your haand, keep the thumb on the outside. Better a hurt hand than the alternatives, besides it always hurts your hand some people just know how to bear it and make it hurt less
@@vasilijenicic6806 there's a difference between not getting sucker punched and being the guy doing the sucker punching. Avoid it, don't try it especially if you don't know how to fight.
You might not be able to hit the eyes but you 100% need to be trying to hit them. If you don’t have another plan, one really good strategy is a constant attack on the sensory organs. Never ever stop, and this will usually overload the enemy thinking somewhat. You still have to be careful because you’re very likely going to get knocked the f out by anyone with a half decent punch if you don’t know how to defend yourself. Going for the eyes won’t save you if you really need to fight. And if you CAN run do so. If you can’t, ya go for the eyes, balls, kidneys, neck, ears, hair, liver, head (especially the temples and anywhere in the back, especially the crown). One kick to the back of the head can be fatal.
@@daveshif2514 I just say eyes from experience, when your eyes are hurt, you are basically useless in fighting, it's kinda like an off button, you just gotta think out your strategy
@@Sen608. ohhhhhhh i thought i was like both the knees are touching and you want to separate them I thought I was some special move that only few know SERIOUSLY
A very important thing in a fight is to relax. Relaxing is key. It doesnt cause irrational thinking, you are calm and therefore you have a clearer mind. Breathing isn’t scattered.
Just avoid it altogether like most of the people in the video are saying. Martial arts are more or less so you can either end or escape the fight as soon as possible.
The one thing I've always learned from others is to fight dirty. As in there is no rules in a fight. Against a guy nail him in the nuts as hard as you possibly can. Against a woman make as many moves as you can near the chest, yes it may sound creepy but you will win that fight if that's how they keep defending. Use sand, dirt, or anything possible to block or screw with eyesight. And basically just use anything in your vision as a weapon. Also make sure to aim for joints as nailing the right joint at the right time or hell even the wrong time will still make somebody go down if it's hit hard enough.
@@the_glories_orphanfucker Yeah and if you’re going competitively. A lot of fight tournaments decrease your score when you git the balls. Idk if it’s the same with a lot of martial arts, but that was the case with the tournaments I went to. It’s just a cheap move and usually is looked down on, but if it’s a random fight definitely go for where it hurts
I accidentally ran into a girl whilst in PE I blocked the impact by positioning my forearm over my chest but she didn’t I wasn’t hurt at all because I bounced off but she was doubled over
I'm no professional when it comes to fighting, but I have been in a few and did a bit of martial arts, so I may hold my own when things turn sour. Maybe these tips will help someone: 1. Try to avoid physical confrontation altogether. Street fights can go very wrong, very fast. Running is preferable to stumbling and cracking your head on a curb. 2. If you are outnumbered, you are likely going to lose. Either follow advice number 1 or make sure that the group leader regrets it, so they won't attack you another time. But forget about strangle holds in these situations. All you do is put you on a plate for more attacks. 3. If you can't avoid the fight, don't try anything fancy. Cover your head, remain on solid footing, attack with quick, straight punches and either kick low or avoid kicking (puts you off balance, and you're screwed if your opponent catches your foot) 4. Always be on the lookout for weapons. Maybe you find something you can use yourself, like a stick, but you should also keep in mind that the other guy may be armed in some way. 5. When the fight is over and the other guy left, move to a different (if possible, safe) location. He may be coming back with friends.
Act crazy, people intends to avoid crazy people. People said, don't be an easy target, you should chin up, broad chest, back straight something like that. But I prefer the hardest target approach, crazy people.
Don't do this. It doesn't work. Ever. People aren't dumb and they sure as hell will notice if the moment you notice them start acting crazy they will call your bluff and jump you. Try to lose them if they are following you by going to somewhere with alot of people if that's not an option turn around and ask them why they are following you. They usually will leave at this point. Always make mental notes where potential weapons are: rocks, bottles, anything that could actually hurt someone, (dirt is also good pocket sand). Secondly be aggressive charge them, run, bite them, anything. do not be defensive defense doesn't work in combat unless you're trained. Do not and I say again act crazy it's stupid and anyone will call cap
@@IAmThyOverlord you don't understand distractions, do you? You could act crazy while picking things around you, rather than acting tough and still picking around, people will notice your actions and can't surprise them. Make your acting act as distractions. Or you probably have personal story about this? Please tell your story. Or probably your act suck, lol You just use your suck acting and hope they just gone? I said hardest target. You still a target tho, so keep aware. It's not like you just went invisible or ignored.
This doesn’t work. No matter how crazy you pretend to be, a bigger guy knows you can’t pressure him but he can pressure you. A fast guy knows it only takes that one lucky punch to stop your movement completely. A guy with friends knows one of his buddies can restrain you for him to hit like a bag. A smart guy sees where you’re not defending and exploits the holes in your game. An actual crazy person will give you the fight you were trying to bluff your way out of
Bend your wrist back like you have an Assassins Creed hidden blade and upper cut a persons nose. Hitting them with the bottom part of your palm. You don't have to hit that hard to break that nose.
@@kommit-456 it would be very hard for you to generate enough force for that to be possible, assuming that the bones didnt somehow shatter. However you might seriously end up hurting your own hand trying to do that. A better version is to karate chop the area between someones nose and lip, that will cause instant tears which will blind your opponent
@@DragonRider-cx7br People don't even know how to punch... People with "no fighting experience". People think punching is swinging the arm when it's using the force of rotation and your whole body behind to throw a punch. If you don't have fighting experience just run...
Mind games work really well. If you can consistently trick your opponent into thinking that you're gonna do something but then you don't, he'll be forced to think about every move you make. Hopping from foot to foot, faking punches or kicks, and just moving really awkwardly can all confuse the opposition and ultimately win you the fight.
if it is against other non experienced fighter you have a chance, if is against someone that knows even the basics, you are screwed, the form of anyone with any experience does not allows for random punches or kicks to land without exposing the opponent, and that is like lesson 0 for any martial arts, that is before you even know hot to punch, if, in contrast, you are going against someone of street style (fights but without any knowledge about fighting) then you can take advises like "go for x part, play dirty, etc", and if is against one person like those, being unpredictable is an option, not a sure one, but the one that gives you better odds, the TLDR is you can't win against someone that knows how to fight if you dont know how to fight.
Poeple that know street style can win against a material artist. Cuase they are used to finding unpredictable poeple and using every method adivable. Mean while a well trained material artist is mainly used to fighting in a structured envoriment.
@@starandfox601 you haven't been in a martial arts fight have you? People without that experience have the same basic movements and that "random movements" are basically giving them a chance in every move to knock you out by exposing every weak point, a martial arts battle is, in short, people trying to make you go for one of the default "street" moves so you leave enough room to be knocked out. Martial artists are way more unpredictable than any other fighter.
@@alenasenie6928 you haven't seen what happens when material artist get into a real uncontrolled street fight. Poeple that street fight do not have the same basic moves esipceally if they have been in other fights.the poeple that owes have the same moves are material artist cuase they learn in a controlled setting often with rules like no ball kicking or grabbing someone's eye socket or using weapons,ECT. Also a street fight isn't a marital art battle.often it's more of a a$$kicking you don't expect and is often determined in the first blow. I have seen several material artist get their butts handed to them by street fighters.
If you're about to get in a street fight with a dude who also has no previous fighting experience its been proven their most likely first attack will be a right hook so you can dodge to the left in advance.
Hold on! If they're throwing a right hook and you're dodging to the left, you're meeting them half way and adding to the speed of collision. See, I was paying attention. To be fair, it was a question in the 11+. "Here is John's face. Put a circle around John's left eye". I was close, very close to getting it wrong.
I wish I can say run, but chances are, if they are fitter than you, they'll catch up. And most people who are in fight shape have better reaction time to avoid obstacles and people. One of my funniest/ worse memories is running from bullies and realizing they were gaining on me.
In fighting it's better to know how to take damage like a boss than knowing how to give it. Don't trip a tired opponent is the one that loss. You can take a martial art like the rest of us all ready have.
Oh boy was waiting for something like this, i have a very important lesson to teach about fighting: Because you train martial arts doesn't mean you are a good fighter, as a matter of fact, most of the well known styles are even meant to fight people, they are meant for the show, either of cool tricks or display the peak theorical performance of the human body, so your kung fu isn't gonna make you the next bruce lee, that said, becoming a trained fighter it is possible, just do not spect to archive any feats you see on the movies, on a fight you vs an army, you are dead, sure, you may be able to take some with you... But you are still dead.
Yeah, you’re definitely not wrong. I trained in self-defence or traditional style Karate for about 7ish years, and I remember vividly when I first started that the first thing they said is that it is an “art style” more than anything, and the katas and practice are mostly meditation in the hopes that you will have a heightened awareness for your own body. Even so I trained in traditional, so we rarely did tournaments and things like that and were taught that if you ever got into a fight, go for the eyes, groin and places where you can really hurt someone, not the punches to the face and more than anything DO NOT let them grab you.
@@emmad7299 Just because its an exercise does not mean its useless. It teaches balance, rhythm, how to move and keep moving, the most efficient ways to move from one stance to another, how to balance after turning, and in traditional combat kata, the most notably being the Pinan kata, there are techniques hidden in a lot of the kata movements that others will dismiss as dancing. There are absolutely meditative kata in traditional martial arts. There are meditative moments in Ryukyu kobujutsu as well, and Iaijutsu, and jujutsu. Doesn't mean what the rest of the art teaches you doesn't work, its just that the art is giving you tools. You have to know how to use them, and be able to use them well in order for it to be effective.
@@nuclearsimian3281 No I agree with you, you can definitely apply certain sections of katas to real life situations, but I was just speaking as a whole. When you are performing a kata, usually (or at least I do) I focus on my breathing and form over application. At my old dojo we would go over the katas and apply them to real life. It was even a part of our testing for moving up in the ranking system!
Sparing is everything. It does not matter how good your martial art is if you do not practice it with someone who hits back. Honestly I dont even know if Kung Fu is crap or not because most styles of kung fu dont practice any form of sparring. That said a lot of katas were meant to show soldiers how to use swords or spears in large group settings, and they were adjusted to empty hand styles. Katas have their place but sparring is king.
@@calebfielding6352 true, to some point at least, the problem with most martial arts are that they are focused on self-style countering, AKA the guy you are fighting is gonna throw the same punch you do, kung-fu is very guilty of this, most of their styles are meant to be more like very complicated dance, the rest are meant to fight other styles of kung-fu, thus being borderline useless against a boxer with enough training/experience. this logic applied to so many other styles to, my favorite is tae-kwon do, this is a "build-a-body" style, it helps you get into awesome physical shape, but when it comes to a real life or death scenario, it doesn't help you directly, as again, it's a style mostly designed to be a very acrobatic dance.
If you fight, try not to overhype yourself, but also know who you are messing with, a guy tried to jump me in highschool, but before he could a bunch of guys grabbed him and said "if you mess with him, you mess with us" helping people with their studies can be extremely beneficial sometimes :)
For god sake don’t try to punch a 300 pound man, you’re gonna donna do no damage at all, go for circular things like balls and eyes, or if that doesn’t work get some jujitsu work cause thats the easiest way to be able to win against a larger person, but also use pointy things like elbows and knees and make sure to move your head
I had a 6ft friend that weighed 50kg and was a nightmare of a person. (As in they were fucking annoying) Got aggressive with a bouncer that was probably 200kg. We managed to pull him away without getting in to a scrap. Back at the backyard the muppet reckoned "I would have just punched him bro"... Some people are just fucked in the head
"If that doesn’t work get some jujitsu work cause thats the easiest way to be able to win against a larger person" That's a very quick and easy way to get yourself twisted into a pretzel. Size and weight play just as large of a role in grappling as it does in striking, and strenght plays an even larger role in grappling than in striking. Don't go around saying that kind of stuff without experience, just because a man who was trying to popularize his martial art said it doesn't mean it's true.
@@LeyvatenLoop I disagree to the extent of skill levels. You're right that size and weight play a role in grappling. If the opponent doesn't know grappling then those rules don't necessarily apply. No body has anything on the ground in terms of instinct. Everybody can instinctively throw a punch. No one can instinctively deal with knee on belly, transitioning top pressure without exposing themselves. Against an unskilled opponent jiujitsu is so much more effective than striking as everyone knows how to punch.
@@LeyvatenLoop very true, but jujitsu still give you a small chance rather than no chance at beating someone better than you. Since at least it relies more on leverage rather than strength, and it’s way way easier to use leverage against someone if they’re not constantly moving around and kicking you every 5 seconds, just that if you get good enough, you could be able to at least get away.
Go for the balls, specifically grab them with your hands, rip the eyeball, bite. The most problematic situation people usually get into is a chokehold, when that happens the best move is to either try to bite the person, or to use your hands to either rip their eyeballs out, or to pinch their neck as hard as ypu can.
For bars: typically one on one in close quarters. Jabs, takedowns, and groin kicks are most effective. Against anybody with gang affiliation: Be prepared for opponent backup and immediate retaliation. Gangs will often return with arms if one of their own is humiliated, especially the more respected ones. In a bad neighborhood: Expect weapons, open area, and beware of enemy allies
Real tip: bite soft side of joints, ears, nose, lips, fingers, neck. 1. Unless you have a condition or are a child, any human is more than capable of severing these parts with a bite. 2. If you lose the fight there will be significant forensic evidence to catch your attacker. 3. Most people will back off once they lose a body part or function of it. And there is a significant “crazy factor” they’ll be scared of.
Two tips for those who actually need: Number One: Always, and I mean always try and defuse a fight. If you didn't initiate the brawl, or you don't know what happened to start the scuffle, try and explain that in a non-sarcastic way. If you come off condescending or like you're belittling someone, you will definitely will be forced to fight, as someone who wants to knock you out, will most definitely try to. Number two: There is no such thing as a dirty fight, fight quick, smart and never initiate the first action. When a person is trying to fight, always wait for them to swing! Keep an eye out for body movements, twitches, and where are they looking? Are they keeping eye contact? Are their hands in their pocket? Keep a look out for anything they do, because that will be the difference between you getting shanked or stomped because you got staggered by a sucker punch. If you are hyper focused on what they're doing, it becomes easier to predict what's going to happen, and you can avoid it. Trust your adrenaline. When he throws the first punch, you are now the victim. Self defense is imitated, and do everything you can to bring him down or beat him. Grab hair, pull arms, poke eyes, drag shirts, do whatever because a street fight and school fight are completely different! In a school fight, you have people who will be willing to step in. A street fight is different. You're safety is not guaranteed, and you are on the polices time. They are not miracle workers, and they are not as fast as you like to think they are.
And its literally the best tip out there dont try to fight if youre asking tips for fighting on the internet bc you might have a rough idea of the technique but you dont know how to use it in real life
I'm not afraid of making damage because it hurts enemy, I'm afraid of going to jail for entering Bloodlust Tantrum and commiting literal fatality to make sure they won't rise and hurt me again:(
People joke about being slapped, but after like 3 proper hard slaps to the face - they'll start questioning if its worth it. Even as a guy, slapping another man hard multiple times can cause damage
A great tip for anyone who lives a life where you are at a risk of being stabbed or shanked, when you are showering, at the very end, turn on the coldest water you can for 20 seconds. The shock simulates a similar situation to being stabbed, and will give you a small window where you won’t feel as terrible after a stab.
Nice. I used to take a cold shower to avoid bothering my partner if she wanted to sleep after we'd made love. But my body would overreact, pump up the heart and make me hot and therefore randy again. How she laughed!
@@Cheesepuff8 no a punch would be a misdemeanor. But spitting on some is a crime at the federal level. It's not likely someone gonna press charges but its technically a crime
1 of the best things I was taught about fighting is: strike first and fast, they wont expect that, elbows do more damage than most people realize and are quicker to throw than a punch
Only fight I ever won, I hit him before even I knew I was going to. I couldn't work out why he was sitting down. We were both drunk, and he'd offended my girl.
*Short tip:* If a fight is inevitable, and you must win, i.e. in a life and death situation, follow these 3 pointers :- 1) make a *fist, as tight as possible.* 2) literally just *aim for one eye or the throat,* and 3) punch like you're about to *punch through a door.* That's it!
Coming from a BJJ practitioner, the first one is a joke, I beg you to never pull guard in a street fight. Prioritize top position in a street scenario.
Block until they go for a kick, dodge or grab then push, 1. Run 2. Deal with someone else If there are multiple people 3. Kick him anywhere while he’s down if he’s blocking your escape route 4. There can be multiple different situations and go with your gut instinct for all Note: I have no real fighting experience so this is just theoretical
i did tai kwon doe for 7 years and managed to get my black belt so i have a lot of experience with fighting mainly kicks and punches and all that jazz. but for anyone trying to end a fight if you’ve already gotten yourself into one, on the side of everyone’s neck is the jugular. if you karate chop it (using this term because i’m sure many people know what a karate chop is), and you hit it hard enough (you don’t need to full force it but still hard), you’ll short circuit the blood flowing to the brain and your opponent will be unconscious about 30 seconds afterwards and will remain unconscious for about a half hour. no this will not severely injure them, it’ll just end the fight. if you’re in a life death situation, you can palm heel strike the bridge of the nose and if hard enough the bone will go back, hit the brain, and potentially kill them. if you’re trying to fight dirty, anything to the neck always hurts. the solar plexus is also a good way to knock the wind out of someone as well.
