How to Win a Street Fight?
361091
I've seen your other questions about martial arts. As a martial artists (specifically I am in American Kenpo Karate), the best fight is one where you can walk away without even fighting. If you know nothing about fighting, it is best to talk your way out. Even experienced martial artist are taught to walk away. You never ever let an opponent know that you know how to fight, and you don't underestimate. So, in any fight, always think that they are better than you.\n\nIf you can't avoid fighting, one of the best things to keep in mind is to not get yourself cornered. You have to keep moving, and do the cornering. If you don't know any self defense, the best thing is to go for the man's groin. And don't forget the eyes and neck. Extend all your fingers and start gouging away. Teeth will also work for you.

Fighting is never the answer unless all sensible dialog has failed, even then in most cases it is not necessarily going to prove anything to fight. Fighting is a pretty poor solution to a problem. Fight only in self defense and only when it is unavoidable.

I haven't had to use it in the street yet, but we do have full contact sparring sessions in MMA class where we employ these techniques. I was able to submit a larger opponent (50 lb advantage) by getting him in a rear-naked choke. If you learn the submission techniques, most people on the street are not going to be looking to defend them, such as a choke or an armbar. So, unless you get caught with a vicious knockout punch, you should be able to get that person in one of the submission holds.

I used to fight, but now I just hang out and watch fights.  I was simi-pro for 4 years and during that period, I never lost a fight.  The first advise I would give you is;  This piss me off thing needs to go, as this will get your a*s kicked good!!!  You must be in to it mentally as well, as physically.  I used to love it when someone lost their temper with me.  I wanted them to loose it, and charge me like some bull.  That is when I would knock their a*s out.  DO NOT ever think you fight better when you get mad.  That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Set you off?  Are you kidding me?  You'll get your a*s knocked out in a hurry!  If you wish to hit hard, then you must work with a bag.  One of those big swinging bags.  The small bag is for getting your speed up as in speed bag.  The heavy weight of the big bag helps you to learn to move weight with your punch without breaking your wrist.  This is why one tapes their wrists up before a fight.  When fighting, you must try to punch through the object you are hitting.  What I mean by that is; to step into your punchs, and put you weight into the punch.  The idea is to send your punch through the object you are hitting, and using your weight to push it through.  It's kind of like driving a nail with a hammer.  You can either bang at the nail, or you can let the weight of the hammer drive the nail for you.  It takes much practice to unserstand what I'm talking about, and punching something as practice to perfect the punch.  When fighting, you can tell where a hard punch is coming from, by watching the weight shift to that foot as the punch is being thrown.  I used to pay close attention to the other boxers feet.  This way I knew where and how hard the puch was coming at me.  Throwing a knock out punch is different than jabbing to set up the punch.  Lets use a uppercut as an example; what you are trying to do is; pick the person up off the ground, but you are trying to lift all there weight with your punch.  You know that just the punch will not lift the person up without using your legs to get strength to pick them up with.  I could talk for days about this, but I'm not going to.  Just know that a mad (pissed off) person makes mistakes, and when you get into it with someone who has training, you cannot afford to act without thinking.  The best thing you can do sometimes is let the fight come to you, and act accordingly.  You must assume the person you are fighting is going to kick your a*s, and you are there to defend yourself from getting knocked out.  Always assume the other person is better, until they prove it different.  The very person that's going to teach you a lesson, is the person you most think you can beat.  You will see what I mean.  You can't beat someone if your eyes have been beat shut.  The best thing to do is; fight defensively, never get head strong, or loose your cool.  You may think you fight better when you are pissed off, but that will get your head ripped off your body, believe me!  By the way, my neece fights professionally.  She fights out of a Gym in Columbia SC, and has fought Layla Ali before.  Layla knocked her a*s out, and I think that was because she was over confident, and had no respect for Layla.  I told her, she must change the way she fought in order to beat someone better than her.  She didn't listen, and got knocked out.  Now she is training her behind off and trying to get another shot a Layla.  If you are serious about training and becoming a boxer, then learn some skills, and train even harder than you think you can.  Running down the road a 4:00 am doesn't win fights, but it does get you in shape to go the distance.  I hope I have been some help to you.  Good Luck!!!

practice makes perfect...you need to find an experienced person who will help you excel.  It is in your best interest to always spar with someone who is better then you who will "press" you but not hurt you. Some people have egos and end up hurting you. In terms of punches the heavy bag is one of the best methods.  As long as you have some one monitoring your technique you can only get better. Mitts are also a great technique to practice and perfect your "moves".(hopefully I hope I answered this correctly)

Practice with a partner. Take turns, 1 punches & the other blocks. Mix up the punches, don't get into a pattern. Use feints as well.

Real fight, no.. but I have taken boxing, kick boxing to be exact, and it was for a small amount of time.. but the first rule is defense.. keep your fists up, just below your eyes about 4 inches from your face, with your thumbs towards you, and thumb outside of the fist.. or you could break your thumb.\n\nWhen you punch, throw your shoulder into it, and knocking the wind out of them by a solid hit to the stomach will usually break them for a moment for you to say, "ok, enough, I don't want to fight, and you have had enough". Walk away.  \n\nIf she persists, go for the eye, not the nose, you don't want to have to pay doctor bills if you break the nose, and a good black eye will blur her vision and leave a mark of "don't mess will me". But always keep your hands up and ready to react in blocking..\n\nAnd girls don't fight fair when they are mad, or are just punks, be prepared for sucker punches when you least expect it, and for clawing, biting, and hair pulling...The dirty fighting can be bad, and whether anyone knows it or not girls have a "privates" sensitive area too.. same place as the men, that bone once hit, or kicked, hurts really bad.. don't use that one unless she just won't stop..(try to remember riding a boys bike for the first time and falling against that bar).. now thats pain that you can recover from, but it'll take a while.\n\n(Do not have your hair in a braid, or ponytail if you are going to fight, it gives them something easy to hold on to.)

Only just seen your question.\nAvoid dark places - stay in the glow of the street lights if you can, and even if there are not many people - wait in the station doorway until people are walking the way you want to go.\nTry to leave work with a friend or colleague - safety in numbers.\n\nDo not carry an offensive weapon - that will bring you more trouble than it will get you out of.\n\nTry taking self defence classes in your spare time. It will give you more confidence, but be careful not to tackle any attacker until you are sure - really sure - that you can fend them off.\n\nDo not be afraid to make as much noise as you possibly can if approached suspiciously and if you think you are being followed - wait until you get to a well lit area, preferably with people around - then turn and confront eh person following you. Ask them loudly what they think they are up to - shout it if you can. They will be scared off, I can almost guarantee it.\n\nAnd if you seriously think you are in regular danger, then go to the local police and tell them. Give them reasons. They will, believe it or not, actually raise their awareness if they can. This alone will make you feel more safe.\n\nGood luck and do not let the b'stards win.

Be the smarter person and walk away form it.  I told my son never start a fight but don't let anyone get the better of you if they physically try to hit you first. In other words never start a fight but finish it if you are forced to defend yourself.

It's almost never a good idea to break up a fight, honestly, at least by yourself.  It takes at least two people, properly trained, to do it.  Wait until someone is losing, and then pull off the winning person.  That's the only safe way to do it, and trust me they want to fight anyway and WILL.  When you have someone losing, then you have one of the two who wants it over with and you might be able to do it by yourself.  I used to work in group homes and dealt with fights.  I learned the hard way to let them go at it until there is a winner coming out.

I am told by those who know that most martial arts are not really designed as self defence systems. Most contain certain archaic moves such as top knot grabs and sword arm blocks.\nYou must also take into account the situation you might find yourself in. I was attacked in the street once and it was very scary I would have to have been very well drilled to be able to utilize any techniques I had learned (which I wasn't)therefore you would need to be a black belt in at least one Martial art and close to black in at least one other to be confident of winning the day unscathed as it were.\nYou must also remember that most attackers / muggers will usually not attack you head on (in case you are a martial arts expert) most "Jump" their victim from behind in order to get them on the floor as quickly as possible.\nTherefore, in order to finally answer your question I would learn one "grappling" martial art Ju Jitsu or Aikido and one "Striking" one Probably Wu Shu or Kung Fu, though the fighting form of Tai Chi is said to be very good.

I am school owner and the State champ in West virginia the best way to get a KO with out punching is to kick with the shin to the side of the head. and depending on the style of TKD you do if ur allowed to, try practicing a side kick reverse/spin side kick. thats when you trow a non scoring side kick to the sie or stomach then w/o putting ur foot down u jump up and throw a reverse or spin , what ever you wantto call it, with the other foot in mid air to the head. It will do just fine and it will look awsome for the ladies

Nobody ever wins a fight.\n\nGetting into a fight at school is ignorant.\n\nBut if you want to hit the other guy more than you get hit, you would have to train.  Train for power and speed.\n\nGo take some martial arts classes where your sensai should teach you that it is for defense only.

if you hear a fight call the cops so they come check it out. Keep calling so there is a written record.

Unless you've had some type of training, don't swinging for the dude from the sides. Punch straight in a direct line. Most untrained dudes don't know to cover their middle so you'll have your choices right down the middle of their bodies for nose shots, lip shots, throat shots, sternum shots, groin kicks, knee kicks and shin kicks. If you do kick though, make it quick or keep him busy with your hands while kicking. Don't reach for the guy's face if he's a lot taller than you, just hit the sternum or groin. It’ll give most people pause. Either way, your knuckles are going to hurt for a while. If you are against someone who’s trained… well, best of luck to you.

You can't win for losing. If the groupies aren't coming around you better bag it and get a job with the Highway Department.
