I was taught to always kick in the skins or behind the knee cap if you can. Never had to fight though. Heidi

Pokes to the throat(aim for the Adams apple area) and eyes are very effective. Your thumb will work best, but any fingers will work. I have also been known to use a "fish hook" in the mouth or arm pit. If you can grab an ear, twist it. Mom's do that for a reason! Twisting fingers can make the toughest person back off. If all else fails grab hair, and not just on the head. We teach our students to go for chest hair, arm pit hair, what ever will make the attacker react. Once they react, you have the upper hand, take it. I would use it to exit the vehicle if possible.  Not every situation can be trained for. Part of learning is to visualize your normal situations, and build your own defense moves, and plan of action. Try to practice with a partner so you can see how a person reacts to each attack, it will help you to figure out your next move.

Um, It's Miyamoto Musashi and it's the Book of 5 Rings. \n   Anyway, if we are talking about a "real" fight- a self defense situation- then you should first try to avoid it at all costs. Run away if possible, give the person what they want if you think that will end the threat. Nothing you have is worth risking your life...unless you think they will hurt you or someone else around you anyway. \n   If you do have to actually fight, make it as fast, as devastating, and as absolutely brutal as you possibly can. The longer your enemy is capible of hurting you the worse it is. There are no rules (other than the legal rights of ANY individual), there are no points for a take down, and no judges will award points after you lose. If it is TRULY self defense, hurt the enemy as bad as you can as fast as you can and then run away and call the police. \n   Nuff Said

Don't hit the nuts!! Or, if you do, it should be as a last resort and without hesitation. Hit hard and fast. Not because its cheap, but because its likely that he won't feel it instantly (because of alcohol, or plain old adrenaline). I would say go for the eyes, kneecap (though kicks are to be avoided, and this one can take some practice), throat or nose..hit the nose with an upwards strike with the palm of your hand..it'll cause the attacker's eyes to tear. The best bet is to go for an area that your assailant cant function without, rather than a target which is vulnerable and sensitive but doesn't immediately immobilise them. If the guy can't breathe or walk, he can hardly attack you, now can he?

The best way is to look at the target, usually the stomach or lower.  Slide your head to one side an instant before hitting the target.  (If you don't it is a spearing penalty and more important leaves you open to serious neck injuries.)  Watch for the play to redirect you with his hands.  \n\nRemember that football is about leverage not size.  If you are lower you will move the other person.

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.

Well ur the same height and weight as me and i have beat down some 250 pounders. I think u should beat his ass, but let him come at u first. Don't just go up and hit him, because then u will get in trouble. Everyone has a right to defend themselves. Next time he touches u, use those boxing skils and beat his ass good. If that does not work, u make dad beat his ass. Then i want u to write me back and tell me how bad he was crying :)

You would mostly stay out of his reach while circling him to keep him off balance, kicking at his chins/knees till he fell and then you would continue to kick him in the leg area, while stomping on his hands when he attempted to grab you to stop you.  You have to be very careful while doing this, because if he catches you, he will kill you, but you have to break fingers on his hands because after you do you can kick in his face.  Not pretty, but trust me, you do not want him coming back for you later and maybe getting the upper hand.\n\nJohn B.

Tell them when they are done fighting and being kids then you will talk to them. Till then walk away. You don't need to get in the middle of THEIR fight.

Hi McKenna, \n\nHere are some come backs and tactics that will leave them standing with mouths hanging open. \n\nA good tactic is to throw a complete reversal, change the subject, insult them and leave them stunned and you win. \n\nI am assuming these are girls you are dealing with, but some will work either way. \n\nFollowing are switch tactics: \n\nWhen you get the yo mama thing, just ignore what they said, and look them over very carefully, and say:\n\n"That's a nice outfit, too bad they didn't have your size".\n\nIf the person doing the insulting is shorter than you, use this one:\n\n"Excuse me, are you standing in a hole"?\n\nIf the person is bigger, try this. \n\nJust stare at their feet, shake your head and say:\n\n"With feet that big . . . .Mike Tyson couldn't knock you down". or \n\n" Hey, I like your Goodwill Slides" (Referring to shoes).\n\nIf you ever feel threatened with physical contact, email me, and I will share with you some self defense moves that will make you undefeatable. You only have to use it one time, and then no one will mess with you ever again. \n\nIf I were there, I would offer my services in being your protector. \n\nGo get em tiger, and have a nice day, and enjoy your life. \n  \nDarryl S.

To really work on your fighting skills you need to find a jiujitsu instructor.  This will help you defend yourself better.  In this discipline of martial arts you learn to grapple, pressure points, joint manipulation, etc...I mean why try to hit this guy with everything you have when you can snap his wrist with little strength or even bring him to the ground with your pinky...MAKE HIM TAP OUT...There is no better feeling than making someone tapout.

Box, stick and jab, move keep your distance and use angles.  Never get trapped into a corner or a brawl.  Be patient and calm, don't let the crowd get to you when they boo, hoping you will change and make it exciting.  Fighting according to what they want is not want you necessarily want.  Up the tempo and fall into the wrong option. Listen to your trainer and follow instructions.

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.)

I can give you some pointers on how to box because my brother taught me. He was a boxer, and that is where I learned how to fight. First, your feet must be at least two inches apart, but you have to keep them at an angle. Then, always keep both fists up in front of your face. This to protect you from someone who wants to try and get into your "space." Next, you have to slightly twist your elbow, (not by much), in order to put force behind your punch. Your fists should always be as tight as you can make it, and your thumb should be tucked in close to your palm(this is to prevent breakage that might occur if you hit someone where there is bone). Then, you make sure you direct all of your strength in your arm from the top of your shoulder, to your wrist. These have been the most effective methods that I have used when someone wanted to hurt me and I retaliated. But if you are a minor, then maybe you shouldn't be thinking about how to injure anyone. Well, I hope that this will be able to help you!! Add a comment to let me know how it goes.

Some recommendations:\n\n- Picture yourself defeating your opponent. \n- Strike through the opponent. Don't aim to strike the face, strike through the face to the back of the head. \n- Jab until you calm your nerves. Once you settle into the fight, stick to your combinations.\n\nAs you get better, you'll sometimes think you're able to stretch time. What you're actually doing, is shortening your reaction time, providing you with a longer time to respond. This is the 'zone' that fighters allude to. \n\nAlso, do as much road work as possible. Jogging is the key to victory. The more you run, the better you'll do.\n\nFinally, breaking your nose doesn't hurt that much. Not getting in the ring hurts a lot more.\n\nGood 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)
