Common Things People Do In A Street Fight
Sometimes you see people fight in a certain way and think it works best. So does it really work? Let's talk about it.
Some guys lean back while fighting. They think this way they can protect themselves and no one can beat them. It seems work, but you can easily beat a guy who does that.
If you punch a guy who leans back, you usually cannot reach him. Because of leaning, there is a distance in the upper part of the body. That's why you do not reach him if you punch. It looks like a nice way of fighting. But the thing is when they fight, their legs stay at the same place. Only the upper part of the body is a little back that makes the distance.
So you can kick his legs. Now leaning back will not protect them anymore.
Sometimes you see people fight and swing their hands getting their heads down. Well, they are punching fast but they actually do not see what's going on. You can easily move to the side and counter-attack. So fighting without looking is not a good idea. You need to see what's going on while fighting for self defense.
Sometimes you see two guys are getting very angry and shouting. Then they grab each other shirt's collar and start pulling. When someone grabs the color of your shirt, you think you will do that same.
Instead of doing that, you can grab the attacker's hand that holds the collar and remove his hand from the collar. Or, you can grab his hand, turn, hyperextend and apply pressure. It is going to be very painful. You can deal with the attack easily like this.
The most important thing for self defense is safety for yourself. Someone grabs the collar of your shirt and punches you, you should defend that punch first and then grab his hand and lock that to teach him a good lesson.
