This to every boxer , martail artist,westler i would like to here view on street fighting how you would do it?
There is no way of knowing how you would react in a street situation it is all in the moment with so many variables that it is almost impossible to pre empt.





The best form is to see it comming and aviod it but if this fails you have to hope some of your training can penitrate through the adrenaline and work in an instinctive way, if you have to think about it you will be finished before you start.





There are many arts which train and revolve around street defence they have there place. But many of them practise drills with pasive partners. There are those within these arts who understand that these are drills not reality and suppliment their training with an art which allows them free style movement and combat.





This is important because if you have never been hit you have no way of knowing how you would cope with it.





A sport style which involves punching and kicking although governed by rules will develope not only body but mind conditioning when it comes to being hit hard.





Ultimatly in the first instance this is what a street fighter will try and do so it follows that this kind of training is required.





Those who believe that just training in a street based art is enough i fear may come unstuck.





The best thing martial arts can give you is the ability to leave your ego at the gym with the feeling you have nothing to prove. In a sport or traditional stlye this is easy.





In a street stlye the street is the only place to prove your ability therefore in my experiance these students are less likley to walk away, and most likley to be defeated
Reply:kb1. I disagree, THINKING is what you want to do. You need to be constantly assessing the situation. The brain is our evolutionary weapon.





You want to be confident, level headed, and you want to transition from the defense to the offense and overwelm your opponent. People win fights when they convince the other person they are losing.
Reply:If it's a one-on-one fight, wrestling %26amp; jiu-jitsu (basically any grapling style) will be effective because most fights will end up on the ground/in a clinch if at least one of the fighters wants it to go there. If more people are invovled in the fight, though, grapling techniques will only be semi-effective because while you're holding onto one person, other people can club you. In that case, techniques that keep opponents at a distance (kicking techniques) and ones that teach control of your opponents without grappling (e.g. aikido, some forms of kung-fu) are more effective.
Reply:I am all three of those things. Wrestled for 2 years in high school, was a 3rd degree yellow belt in Karate when in elementary school, and have been boxing every year I was in school. As for the boxing thing, I'll tell you, it was the real thing since I got in fights in school, they weren't boxing matches, I just got into fights. To answer your question, it depends on the situation, and how my opponent is positioned, sometimes I'll use wrestling moves if he's up close, I'll throw karate kicks when he tries to punch, and I'll box the rest of the time. Aside from that, it also depends on what style you learn first, I was a boxer before anything else and I prefer to fight in a boxing stance, arm's distance from my opponent, and I prefer moving around my opponent and dodging instead of blocking or using any grapples.
Reply:running is important form of training to disciplined in
Reply:im a 1st dan black belt in taekwondo and how i train is pretty straight forward. u streach before u train so u dont pull anything and so u can be a littl emore loose. and u just do drills and sparing and learn from mistakes. in the real thing u have to be confident. confident enough that u dont have to think because u already know wat to do. and make sure u dont get tunnel vision if they have a weapon. i would use as many long range shots as i could with my legs. i only use my hands if i have to. and if i do get close its good to know take downs and different locks to use on their bodies like a head lock or arm bar so u can hurt him enough so he wont get up again but wont do any permanate damage
Reply:I hate to sound like a wiseass, but the best technique is to not be there in the first place. The more experience you have in streetfighting, the more you'll realize that no one wins all their fights, and eventually, you're going to lose pretty spectacularly. All the martial arts in the world means very little when someone pulls a firearm and goes kinetic.





OK, enough philosophy. Your fighting style has to change based on numbers, environment, and techniques. No style is going to be perfect--using your head and outthinking your enemies is the only answer.





Are you facing a huge brute with hands the size of hams, is it 4 punks with knives, one dude with a gun, or some random drunk trying to impress his friends.





Have a ground game (BJJ), so that even if you don't want to fight on the ground, you know how to achieve dominant position and get up. Know that discretion is the better part of valor and give the mugger with the gun your wallet--a couple credit cards are easy to replace compared to death or serious injury. Facing multiple people and winning really only works for Jet Li or Bruce Lee. RUN! If you can't run, cover your back and keep moving to minimize the number that can engage you at once. If it's just one loudmouth inciting his gangbanger buddies and you can't get away, make an example of him. If he's unconscious or screaming because you've hyperextended his elbow or knee, the fight will often drain out of his friends.





Above all, act confident--many times this will stop a fight from ever starting.
Reply:it deppends on the situation that your in on street fights use your head if your being confronted with a mob of people then run if theres only you and an opponent with out a gun then muay thai kickboxing is the best suited for this situation together with shotokan and brazilian jujitsu
Reply:I usually try to shy away from fight by any means. Even if it mean making opponent think I am afaird of them.





I've got in fight twice and both was a really stupid mistake. First fight happen in mall, there was a guy with two friends. The guy end up grab my sleeve and tried to hit me so I move close, wrap my arm around his waist and hold onto his arm with another as I fake a throw to get him pulls back. When he pulls back, I turn and quickly hook my leg around him, sweeping him down on the floor. Once both of his friends saw this and the guy was pretty much dazed from his head hitting the floor, they ran away. I was extremely lucky that they were a coward instead of try to fight. I put the lock on the guy until securities came.





Second time, I was in bus when a man got mad at me and I was in back corner of bus. The man was mad because I put my bag on empty chair (stupid I know...) after about 10 mins of ignoring his yellig. He pulls out a small knife, when I saw that, I push it away and move toward him and put a choke on him while pinning him agaist the widow. He end up bit my thumb. Few people finally got to us and pulls us apart.





In both situtation, I could have got really messed up if they make the right move, but I got extremely lucky.





So I try to avoid fight as much as possible and ever since the knife incident, I have always told myself "that is it! No more being a nice guy! I am gonna to go straight for knock out or bone breaking" I don't care if I end up go to prison. I would rather to be judge by 12 than carry by 6.





Also the odd thing is I'm a Muay Thai fighter. However in first fight all I used was judo. Second fight it was all brazil jiu jitsu. So that should tell you much about how easy it's to say you will do this ad that in street fight but when the time come, you're completely lost and do pretty much anything that first come to your mind.
Reply:the best way, is to walk away, if your trained right, you know your a dangerous weapon, you can destroy with your bare hands, don't deminish yourself, walk away. Its a felony in the real thing.
Reply:myself and a friend of mine have independently trained in silat, iron body and aikido, so if someone has a knife its not hard to disarm them, but i dont openly go somewhere looking for a fight.
Reply:First off, Avoid. If totally necessary, I like to take the person down to the ground where I am more comfortable, then elbow from a good position.
