this to every boxer , martail artist,westler i would like to here view on street fighting how you would do it?

Question

i would like hear from all types fighter because to hear from other way and styles how the train and handle them self in real thing

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Muhammad Ali would knock Bruce Lee out. Earlier I would have favoured Lee, but my opinion changed. Lee was an awesome martial artist, no doubt about that. He had incredible speed and huge power for a man of his size. But we dont know what he could take, so how tough he really was. because we havent seen him fighting a world class opponent. Most people might claim Lee would win with ease, but I would give it to Ali, because of: Alis toughness (way bigger full contact experience), huge reach, power transfer in his punches, great reactions, amazing hand speed and impressive footwork for such a gigantic sized man. He would move, Lee couldnt reach him and wouldnt be able to damage Ali with punches. Before he can hurt Alis legs with kicks, he will get knocked out. Imagine Ali was able to finish opponents while he was moving backwards. excs my english, im german

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

If it's a one-on-one fight, wrestling & 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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

running is important form of training to disciplined in
