Also:

1) Don't give it up
2) Don't let it down (your guard)
3) Don't run around
4) Don't hurt him

BlindRaise: Ground and Pound!! Oh and he says put your strong foot forward which is BS considering your strong foot and strong arm are usually the same and you want your strong arm cocked back to unleash wollymops.

Actually for a right handed person, I believe the left leg is stronger, as in doing a layup;jumup off your left leg, extend with your right arm.

I acually thought that was a good read, one rule I've learned: you have to know how to fight on the ground, that where they usually end up.

I Said: exi: #1 thing to remember if you want to win a fight: Get the first punch in.

If you have come to the point where it looks like a physical confrontation is inevitable don't be reactive. And don't aim for the chin, that's movie fighting. A good smack right on the nose will produce pain, blood, tears and a sudden unwillingness to continue in many a bully.

I like a good, open hand biatchslap. Let me explain:

1) you have shown him, and everyone else, that you think he's a biatch.

2) Even if you lose, you biatchslapped him.

3) He now has a huge, red, hand-shaped welt on his face.


That's pretty good logic there.

Flashman73: I Said:
11) learn how to punch (straight, from the shoulder. Not some loopy around the world nonsense)


Not to advocate any "around the world nonsense" but doesn't the power of the punch come from the rotation of the core of the body, not just "from the shoulder"?


Yes and no. A good punch would use part of your upper body, while a good hook should use most of it. I'm talking about peoples habit of throwing there arm around the world.

Your body should pivot or rotate depending on the punch. And except for a hook or uppercut, your arm should fly straight.

If you need to be told not to put your thumb inside your fingers when making a fist, you really shouldn't be fighting at all. Actually, you shouldn't even be allowed to walk around pretending to be a member of the male gender. Go hand in your male equipment at the local bar and kill yourself.

If it weren't for all the crap one must go through in our current system of laws, I'd be inclined to agree with you. Sadly, a thorough asswhuppin, once a right of passage into manhood, has fallen by the wayside as the wussies turned into lawyers.

I've gotten my ass beat a couple of times. I learned to watch my friggin mouth if I couldn't back it up. I actually *miss* the occasional bar brawl...those are FUN until some candyass can't take a hit and pulls a .38, then it gets ruined for everybody.

Nowadays it just ain't practical to punch first. Le them swing first (notice I didn't say 'hit you', I said 'swing') in front of witnesses...THEN proceed.

1) Gently set down your Zima.
2) Reach waaaaaay back and grab some air.
3) Punch him, using all of your body weight, directly in the Cowper's Gland.
4) Pick up your Zima and continue the conversation with your mother.

2 targets take them out you win.

2.Nuts - poke, pull, slap, stomp.

I don't know about that, think about which foot you would kick a soccer ball with I think that would be your strong foot, i'm a righty and I kick with my right.

What? If they get on top, give them side mount? Or on the back? What the fark? This guy is a dumbass. Giving the side mount or letting them get on your back is suicide.

Never been in a "real" fight in my life, unless you count sparring.

Anyone who tries to start one with me eventually changes their mind and i'm just not the type to start one.

The only conditions someone should fight are if they're being attacked (obviously) or friends or family are being threatened/attacked, these idiots who get in fights because someone looked at them sideways are entertaining, but ultimately operating on the same level as an insect.
 
2008-01-11 01:11:02 PM
Get some training.

Punching power does come from rotation of the core, jabs though, which are for setting up distance and set up other shots are from the shoulder.

Keeping the hands are arms close to your body help protect and don't telegraph your punches like haymakers do.

Learn the Muay Thai side / thigh kick.

Learn some take down defense like the sprawl. Lots of bar fighters seem to be ex high school wrestlers.

As a 26 year old with a bunch of younger brothers, the police coming and lawsuits and weapons aren't as common as the news makes it out to be. I'm not condoning fighting, but it's not the life-ending event that people keep hearing it is.

A random comment - a friend of mine taught me (and proved to me by doing it) that when grappling, if you poke at your opponent's rectum, he will let go of you to get away from your fingers/thumb. I don't know how well this would work in an actual fight, but it seems like a reflex.

uh, never use the big looping hook or uppercut unless your opponent is pretty drunk (or unaware that he's in a fight, i guess). use jabs. i agree with the "pop 'em in the nose" school of thought. a quick jab to the face (not the chin, not the top of the head, the face) will usually slow down most folks not on some kind of substance or used to being hit in the face.

rule #2 - always make sure you stay on your feet. always always always. keep 'em both on the ground (the no kicking thing in tfa is good advice).

if you bust someone's nose and they just look at you and smile.... run. well, unless you're completely psychotic, too... in which case, have fun and try to stay on your feet.

I live in a college town so sometimes I encounter drunks with nothing to do but start trouble. Last time, I left my house to walk my dog in the park. It was dark out and my dog is black (not that there's anything wrong with that) so they didn't see him. I hear one guy say to the other "yeah, let's get that one." And then they start approaching me. My dog promptly flipped the fark out, and I hear the other one say "shiat, he has a dog!" So they turned around and walked away without altercation. Drake got steak that night.

Screw all that noise.

Fist Fight
1) Take the hit (or 5)
2) Call cops, act hurt
3) Profit!

If they have weapons
1) Run
2) Run more
3) Don't get stabbed, shot, or beaten with your own leg

That is all

Oh ya, honor has fallen by the wayside to be sure. If ya fight in uncontrolled situation, your asking for trouble. I used to train MMA and we would always have some great fights after a day of training. 6oz gloves and a mouth guard and we would have at it. Difference was it was in a controlled environment and no malice behind the punches.

Agree. Never give up your side or back. If they get mount, close the distance and if you don't know how to defend from the back scramble to get back up. But don't turn over.

Also the part about strong foot forward is from the old Jeet Kune Do teaching. Boxing and MMA teach to keep your strong side back.
