Can any one give me some advice usefull when fighting?

Question

i want to know how to fight well.

Answer 1

If you are going to fight, it had better be for real. I have trained in Tae Kwon Do for about 10 years off and on. I was lucky and the school I originally went to taught more than TKD. It taught street fighting techniques from basics such as how to evade to advanced such as how to break a person’s neck within seconds and how to defend against various fighting styles, especially ground fighters. There really is no replacement for quality professional instruction.

This is what I would recommend to you:

1.Avoid fighting at all costs. People might think you are a wimp, but fighting is very serious. You will not only get hurt, you can get killed or worse (IMHO) paralyzed. If you must fight, be prepared to kill or be killed. If you treat it as anything less, bad things can and will happen.

2.Anything in your hands is a weapon. Any rigid object can be used to inflict pain if you poke someone with it. If you have something in your hand (anything), if you toss it at the opponents head, their natural reaction will be to avoid it. This half-second reaction time is your time to move in and attack.

3.Technique is everything! I repeat, technique is everything!! This is where professional instruction and years of training come in. The first time I had to use martial arts in my life was when someone tried to mug me in Milwaukee. The fight lasted about 5 seconds. The mugger threw a couple of wild swings at me that really didn’t hurt. I kicked him in the groin and followed up with a reverse spinning hook kick to the head when he bent over. I didn’t think I hit hard, but he was out cold.

On the flip side, one of my most humbling experiences in my life was in TKD class. There was a little black belt (probably about 12 years old…70 pounds if he was lucky. I was a strong, fit 19 year old and weighted about 165 pounds.). I thought it would be an easy fight. My technique was OK…his was perfect. To say he kicked the @*%# out of me would be an understatement. When he connected, it hurt like hell, despite his small size. This was a full-contact school and I was used to being hit and it still hurt. I wasn’t KO’d, but I lost miserably.

4.Getting hit hurts! When I was in a full-contact school, I was used to be hit. I thought I was the toughest SOB alive, and I was pretty much right. My second “street” fight never really started. I was in a bar and someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and some guy punched me in the face. I had no idea who he was or what his problem was. When I looked him square in the eyes and asked him what his problem was (with a few more swear words of course), his jaw literally dropped and he left the bar. My point is that if you are not used to getting hit, you will go down much faster. Look for opportunities to spar. Are there boxers at the local gym? If you do martial arts, look for a contact school. Right now, I am training in a no contact school and I wouldn’t trust that to use to defend myself anymore than step aerobics.

Street fighting is pretty much pointless. If you must fight, technique really is everything. If you really want to fight, take up a form of fighting (boxing, jiu-jitsu, aikido, kickboxing, full-contact TKD or karate). Besides technique, you will become fit aerobically (which is another huge advantage). Without technique, you’ll be a brawler (not necessarily bad, but if you don’t knock someone out in 60 seconds, you are pretty well screwed).

Good Luck to you. Sorry if I was long winded.

Edit:

I forgot to mention...if you fight in public, the winner ususally ends up in jail, no matter who started it, unless there are a lot of witnesses on your side. Something to keep in mind.

Slider, dog preacher and spidertiger have all had excellent answers, learning to fight well means studying a discipline, and training so that you can fight well.

the more you train, the better you'll get; there're no set techniques that'll work EVERY time in EVERY fight.

because every fight is gonna be different; one technique you use in one fight may not work in another, so to say that fighting well is in how you train and how often you train is the only way you'll learn how to fight well.

the best thing to do is research the Martial Art schools near you, see which one interests you, try a trial period if they offer one and then enroll in the class, and follow through with your training.

another thing you have to remember, is to make sure that if you end up fighting, is making sure that YOU are not the agressor, and by using non threatning gestures such as just before the fight begins, don't have your fists clenched, keep your palms open and facing the other person(s) to let any bystanders around you see that you're not the agressor in the fight, and letting the agressor and the bystanders know in a loud clear voice that you're not looking to fight.

because if the authorities get involved later it will work in your favor, and you may not wind up being sent to jail especialy if it's been seen that you were only defending yourself.

Answer 3

The grass always looks greener on the other side, doesn't it? Every person in the world has problems, so don't wish you were your friends. In my humble opinion, people who wear expensive clothes all the time are trying to show off. They want to show how rich they are. All I see is debt. People who act rich are in debt all the time. They have credit cards to pay off that have a higher balance than my house mortgage. I don't have to show how good I am, I know it, and as long as I know it, everyone else knows it too. In fact, people that do have more money than the average middle class person shops at Walmart. They dont want to spend their hard earned money on things that cover their butts!!! lol ! Listen, it's normal for you to not be the same person you once were. You are growing up. You are in the middle. You are not a child and you are not an adult. That is a really frustrating time. It's hormones that make you feel this way. I'm sorry to say that things won't get better very soon. This period of time lasts about three years ages 14 to 17. Am I right?? You began feeling this way when you were around 14?? If your hair bugs you, try changing the shampoo you use. The stuff that worked when you were younger won't work now. Try shampoo that is especially for dry hair. Give your self hot oil treatments. When my hair was like that when I was a teen, I did not blow dry my hair, it makes it worse. I washed it in the afternoon and let it air dry. Don't go to bed with wet hair, it tends to frizz. Don't get to skinny. Don't starve yourself. Your body will begin suffering so much it will take its nurishment from where ever it can get it. Your skin, your hair, anywhere, you could even skip your monthly period if you get to skinny. You will get dark circles under your eyes, and your body will begin covering itself with a fine layer of hair to keep you warm. Its really not good. Besides, who wants to be skinny? It's better to have boobs. Boys like it better!!! No boy in high school wants to date a girl that is flat chested. They want to be able to look at the other guys and say, my girl has boobs, and yours doesn't!! Start eating better, give yourself hot oil treatments for your hair occasionally, smile, smile, smile, and most importantly, believe in yourself and others will believe in you. I could go on and on, but I won't. I will stop here. Good luck! I hope I didn't ramble on to long! LOL

Answer 4

I am assuming you do not currently train.
My advice is to go study a martial art. A martial art is an actual fighting system that has been refined over hundreds to thousands of years.
The advantage is that you will have others to train with. Once you start sparring your fighting skills will improve ten fold.

If you don't want to do the traditional martial art thing go check out kick boxing, boxing or a MMA.

Get out there and train, that is how you will improve your skills.

Answer 5

Only fight people smaller and weaker then you, and be sure to get the first punch in. I highly recommend using the element of surprise, like "****** punching" also fighting dirty is shameful....but it works.

In all seriousness, if you are not interested in getting professional training, just remember to use your head and keep your cool. People that "bum rush" their opponent carelessly, leave themselves wide open for counter attacks.

Get yourself a speed bag and punching bag to practice speed, balance, and accuracy. Working on those 3 things should give you the upper hand on the average non-trained civilian.

Answer 6

Slider728 is right! The only thing that I would add is to go to all the martial arts schools in town and talk to the instructor.

Ask them what they focus on. Don't tell them what you are looking for (they will try to sell themselves), just say you think it would be fun.

Most will allow you to take a free class. Pick the one that will meet your needs the best.

Answer 7

Being a good fighter is an earned title you will only get good when you face your fears and see how strong you are. Advice: find the places on your body that are tender to the touch, if it hurts you it will hurt them also go for those spots

Answer 8

Keep a clear head, keeps your dukes up, do not get back into a corner for you will have no avenue of escape, act like you are crasy and own the place. Best advice is try to talk your way out of it.

Answer 9

To fight well, you really need professional instruction. Enroll in a martial arts school which offers a variety of courses like boxing, karate, judo, ju jitsu, etc.

Answer 10

Krav Maga. Its the best training you can get for fighting, or self defense. It was developed by the Israeli Military for hand to hand combat... Easy to learn the fundamentals, but you can grow substantially by training. You will also learn to deal with multiple attackers, and weapon defenses. Krav maga is also taught to many law enforcement departments, as well as military and US Anti-Terrorist officers.
