Which one is more better/advantage in street? (your personal opinion or experience)





Normal strong punching like muay thai, taekwondo etc


or


Many %26amp; really fast punching combos like kenpo,wingchun, boxing styles etc..





because in my experience I find it really difficult handling and defending myself from people who just use many quick crazy pressure pointing punching combos ..





so how can I block them or defend them?

Hey I A,


Braggarts and egotistical people don't do well in Karate (it also makes People POed) that's why you have been getting so many thumbs down.
Reply:I'd always choose to use speed rather then harder hits.





In a street fight it's about doing more damage then you take, no one attacks while getting pummeled with punches. Attack first (once a true threat has been identified of course) and attack fast. If you use harder strikes as well, use one to a soft area like the temple or throat to start the flurry of weaker fast hits.
Reply:Hmm... how about both? Muay Thai and boxing have fast and very hard punches. If you think it's difficult to defend yourself from people who throw many quick crazy punches, then try to defend yourself when you feel like you're about to puking your guts out from a hard body punch.





Obiviously you don't know a thing about fighting and you shouldn't be getting in a fight. Nothing wrong with not being able to fight, just live your life and do something noble such as become a doctor, teacher, or whatever and you'll be respect.
Reply:everyone is different. check out the way that suits you.


If you cannot finish the fight in 1 minute, you better run
Reply:explosive punching like in boxing (which you mentioned as "quick") IS hard.





I would rather have hard and EFFICIENT punching.





if you would let the guy hit you with multiple quick but weak punches/bit ch slaps without covering up then you got problems.





if there is no power there is more risk to a counter punch when you are open (throwing) as you haven't thrown enough force in to momentarily jar the person so you can follow up.
Reply:Not getting into the fight is the best defense.





There are no winners in a streetfight; anyone seeking to get into streetfighting is already a few bricks shy a load.





The streets are a really bad place to find out that your double dragon dim mak doesn't stop a shotgun blast. The outcomes of seeking to be a streetfighter are injury, hospitalization, incarceration and death (sounds like a silly occupation to voluntarily get into don't it?).

Reply:You is not serious are you? I think you are going to get your but kicked!!!!!! For heavens sake, take some self defense courses or something.
Reply:There is a reason for the saying "speed kills".... And few fights end from a one shot KO. Most are the result of combos.
Reply:it doesnt matter how fast or strong your punching or kicking techniques are in the streets. Its your mind that you have to work on, dont put yourself in that situation in the first place.





but say if you were attacked from combos, you could try and grapple them.
Reply:I was in numerous street fights back in the day and always took them down first. Then ground and pound. I have never lost.
Reply:charge yourself into the attack. the opponent has determined your range and is expecting you to retreat so will keep the momentum and advancing going. when you break through this range into them and attack you take their advantage.





it isnt that simple, but you need to stop pulling away, and start pushing in. the person advancing has the advantage. punching in retreat doesnt help your cause.





attack the attacker. you may get hit going in, but you will get hit trying to avoid as well. so you may as well get aggressive
