Let’s say you’re out with your buddies (or maybe a lovely young lady) having a good time, when all of a sudden some jackass shoves you. You didn’t do anything to instigate the guy, but it doesn’t matter.
There is a special breed of males, that when inebriated, start fights with random people. This breed, when found in their wild habitat, are often accompanied by their similarly boneheaded buddies.
Or perhaps you and your posse end up in a rumble with the Socs because one of your buddies killed a Soc while trying to save Ponyboy from being drowned by a douche bag Soc. Man, I hate them Socs. Stay golden Ponyboy.
What can you do to prepare for a street brawl and protect yourself in this type of situation? Here are 8 simple steps you can follow to avoid ending up in the emergency room after a street fight.
1. Wake up! When someone threatens you, snap to attention. Be aware of your environment. Look for objects that you can use for weapons. Searching out a place to escape to is especially important if you’re outnumbered.
2. Try to defuse the situation. Try to talk with the guy and calm him down. If you did something unknowingly that offended him (like looking at him funny), then apologize. Don’t let your ego get in the way of apologizing for something you didn’t do. Your first goal should be to avoid fighting. Maintain confident body language. Don’t show the guy you’re afraid.
3. Walk away. If talking to the knucklehead doesn’t work, start to leave the scene. But maintain alertness and walk away backwards, still facing your opponent. If he’s a no-good, yellow-belly rat, he’ll attack you from behind.
4. Assume a fighting position. If the jerk is still threatening you and you have nowhere to go, assume a stable fighting stance. Spread your stance to about shoulder width apart and slightly bend your knees. The goal is to maintain balance so you don’t end up on the ground. Keep your hands up to protect your face and clench your teeth. A solid punch to an open mouth can lead to a broken jaw.
5. Defend yourself. The goal is to defend yourself from violent and unjustified aggression, so don’t be afraid to fight dirty. If you have any object to use as a weapon, use it. This can be anything like a chair, a bottle (extra man points for first breaking the bottle and then thrusting the jagged part at your opponent), or a 2X4. Here are some other techniques that could be used in this sort of situation:
- Knee to the groin. No explanation needed why this is effective.
- Low kicks to the knee, groin, or abdomen. Kick like you’re kicking down a door, using the bottom of you foot. A solid kick to one of these areas can incapacitate your attacker long enough for you to get away.
- Headbutt to the face. Your forehead is one of the hardest bones on your body. Use this to your advantage by headbutting your opponent hard across his nose. If done correctly, you can do some serious damage.
- Throw a punch. If done correctly, an overhand punch can put your attacker out of commission.
6. Take punches effectively. While you should do your damnedest to avoid getting punched, you can’t avoid them all. If you have to take a punch, strive to absorb it in a way that minimizes the impact and damage..
- A punch to the head. Move towards the punch, tighten your neck muscles and clench your jaw. By moving into the punch, your attacker may miss the mark wide to either side. Absorb the punch with your forehead. It’s the hardest bone your body. If your attacker hits you there, his hand will be hurting and you’ll have minimized the damage to yourself.
- A punch to the body. Tighten your stomach muscles, but don’t suck in your stomach. Try to shift so the punch lands on your obliques rather directly in the stomach or vital organs.
7. Give your best war cry. While defending yourself, make as much noise as possible. There are two reasons for this. First is the intimidation factor. Yelling may distract and intimidate your attackers, leaving you a better chance of getting in some good blows or getting away. The second reason is to draw attention. The more people who gather around you, the easier to call a douche bag’s bluff.
8. Make your escape. After you have incapacitated your attacker using the methods described above, get the hell out of there.

And don’t miss The Steven Seagal Guide to Ending Violence Quickly!
LISTEN the main thing you need to survive and thrive in a violent street fight is….guess what?
MENTAL READYNESS.
now you cant really teach anyone to be tough-you can be as ripped-up with muscle as you like and have black belts in various martial arts….BUT if you cant handle yourself and your adrenaline while in a dark street corner, fist to fist with someone who is quite possible willing to KILL or seriously injure you…….you will still lose.
i am now 20 and when i was younger i did take a few beatings because i simply didnt know how to handle myself, but now i no longer “freeze up” at the prospect of being hit, and get in there with some simple ballistic moves like elbows and headbutts.
unfortunately, thats the only way you can truly learn to be a street fighter.
years ago, i simply didnt have it in me to “just get in there and do it” but i learned that out there, noone is gonna be gentle with ya so you might as well not worry about “escalating the violence”.
and finally, when it comes to technique-just use simple, dirty moves and try and get into close quarters.
Awful advice, I would like to se eyou in a fight and see what happens using this,
Never use a weapon you can only get in serious trouble,
if you cannot fight run get out of there asap
As for taking a punch go with it to minimize damage, if you go into it and he connects good night, you have all your force and his force colliding instead of some of his force hiting you.
My advice if you cannot run, Hit him and do not stop hitting him neck, groin, or nose work best if ther eis more than 1 hit the largest one of them the rest will be in shock
I’ve only been in one fight as an adult… I was sucker punched after a party we had at my college house. This (uninvited) racist guy was just ripping into a friend of mine who is half black and half Asian, and it took him a while to leave, despite much persuasion. he came back after we had thrown him out and I advised him it was time for him to get heading home… and he sucker punched me in my own doorway. I have to admit, it took me by a bit of surprise… as I was trying to dodge the punch, my hand went through the drywall… but after I took it, and went outside after him. We both slipped on the ice and fell down 3 steps… but we were on the round then. He really had no chance… I was 8 inches+ taller and a good 60 pounds heavier than he was and gave him what for.
I’m usually the guy who is there to back up my dumbass friends when they start shooting their mouths off… they start jawing and right before things get tight, I’ll step in and ask the other guy if he really is interested in a tussle… It usually helps that the guys I hang out with (for the most part) are all former college athletes like me and can take care of themselves… but probably more importantly, LOOK like they can take care of themselves, so it usually isn’t an issue.
During my brief stint at bouncing, a wiser, more successful (fewer facial scars) doorman told me to always pretend your Italian and talk with your hands. That way you’re closer to having a chance of blocking the drunken sucker shot.
@ MightyKC- Wise words indeed. Plus you might frighten them with all the commotion. My wife’s Italian grandmother is one of the toughest broads I know. She can easily strike fear in the heart of grown men, despite the fact she’s 5 feet tall.
Back in the day, long term bouncer here. Seen a lot of fights. Actually had very few myself, bouncers fight dirty because we always triple or quadruple teamed. Lessons from a bouncer:
1. Don’t fight bouncers. They are sober. They have other bouncer friends. They don’t care about “winning” they just want to remove you, and don’t care what furniture and fixtures hit your face on the way out.
2. Most males really really don’t want to fight, they want to posture. They love it when the bouncer shows up and they can back down with honor. Fuck honor. Be a craven lickspittle in a bar fight situation, apologize and cower and make the fight go away. And running away is a very very good ideal, there are very few things in life worth getting damaged for, and they aren’t found in bars.
2b In a prison situation the opposite is true, if you don’t react violently and insanely, you will pretty shortly find yourself with a sore bum. Just saying.
2c Girl fights are a bouncer’s nightmare. Not only do they not care a damn about honour and so on, they actually want to kill each other. Secondly, they almost certainly have a boyfriend pleased as punch to be fought over, who will take any manhandling of either of his (probably soon to be ex)girlfriends very seriously. With friends.
3. Do not try for the balls. They are amazingly hard to hit, and most males have a bunch of protective reflexes that are extremely hard to overcome. True, it is a game winner if you can do it, but it is very very difficult.
4. When looking for weapons, distance weapons are the best. Fending off the dude with a chair a la a lion-tamer is about the smartest move you can make; because eventually, in most situations someone (like a bouncer or three or the cops) will intervene. Actual weapons, things like bats and hockey sticks, actually leave you very vulnerable. And can lead to serious criminal charges. Any weapon, hold onto it like crazy, you really don’t want it taken away from you. You really don’t.
5. Throw the first punch. Sorry to say this, but watching many many fights, the guy that stops the posturing phase and lays on some sudden and unanticipated pain and damage, almost always wins. If you can’t back out, can’t run away, go postal, as soon as you can.
6. Going postal is actually a good strategy. Get in there close and violent, you will take a lot of damage but it will be in the initial adrenaline fueled phase when you can’t feel it, and the surprise factor really helps. The odds are that a guy that wants to fight with you is probably more skilled at fighting that you are, fencing with him is a serious mistake.
7. Your single most effective hitting surface is your elbow, not your fist. You will do more damage with your elbow, and receive a lot less, than with your fist.
8. Your second most effective hitting surface is your foot. A good kick to any major muscle mass will temporarily freeze it, making it much easier to run away, or if you can’t, to do further damage.
9. Once a fight starts, don’t fuck around. Shut your yap, don’t circle and spar, lay into the dude like a maniac. It is actually your best chance at survival.
10. Don’t knife fight. Someone pulls a knife, run like hell, dodge, weave, anything to put something or some distance between you and that knife. Knives are very very dangerous and nobody but a martial arts master, if that, can avoid very random very serious damage from them.
11. I’m sorry, but a war cry is stupid. If the dude you are up against knows anything at all about a fight, has been in more than one, your war cry will have about the effect of a cream pie dropped on a marshmallow from about an inch away. Basically, in the adrenaline rush of a fight, you are pretty much deaf anyway.
12. Oh, and getting angry, really really angry? Nothing but good. Adrenaline is your friend.
I think Orval above has it all covered. In a nutshell: run like hell or fight like hell. Nothing in between and no hesitation. And if you have to use something as a weapon, don’t wait around for the cops. You will go to jail.
Well a late night, after a party, I was going to go gome alone, suddenly a big foreign guy across the street yells somethin, I look at him, and he walks over to my side of the street, then he asks me why I look at him funny, I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, so I apologized if I had done him wrong in any way, but he still wouldn’t leave, he was about 6.2, and I was 5′7 at the time, he was pretty buff, and suddenly he punches me in the face, push me down on the ground and starts stomping at me, luckily a couple of guys from the party witnessed the whole thing, and scared the guy away…
So after that incident I thought that I had to learn how to fight, so I don’t get assaulted again..
BTW, I’m not racist, the guy just made up that I was looking at him funny, cuz he wanted a fight…
yeah this is a smart way to fight i don’t know maybe in dumb i just react if i get hit i swing full force to the nose i”m usually very accurate. and no where im from using a weapon is wimp shit and kicking in groin man hell no i mostly giveiem an old 1 2
one in the nose one in the temple if that dont hurt em them damn!!
Listen if your gonna get in a fight then its gonna happen, always keep a good stance as to not fall over. always keep yours eyes on your oponent, best thing to do is if he throws a common right hand then kick him in the gut. jump up and elbow him in the face. or try and block the punch take your right hand and place it to the left side of his head, wrap around into a headlock and knee the crap outa him, or kick his thighs, not straight on but do a turning shin kick. it will make him unable to wwalk if done effectively. if hes up[ in ur face grab the back of his head and headbutt the hell out of his nose. if he goes to spear tackle then lean forward and grab his head and push straight down either to the floor or into your knee. other useful things u can do is a side kick to there kneecap (onl if his leg is straight) it will snap it instantly… you canm do the same with an elbow… when ever you get in a fight speak up. yell!!! im gonna kill you or something to show your anger. never back down because people always have it on there phones after. if you on the ground try and get up and kick them or get on top and punch them or get them in a sleeper hold and knock them out…. the MOST effective thing you could ever do is get them ion a firm headlock, have a wide stance for balance and use whatever you have left to knee, punch, elbow or whatever you can do to knock him out. always keep your hands up unless your experienced or fast. play off the jab or use youlegs which are effective against reach. keep applying the pressure dont give them the advantage to regain themselves and attack…
CONTROL THE OUTCOME!!!!!

Weapons are a no-go in conjunction with a war cry. The last thing you want to do when using a weapon is draw attention to the skirmish. Let the belt, bottle, or traffic cone do the talking. Never ever use a weapon in a public setting. A broken bottle in a bar fight can land you 5 years in prison for assualt with a deadly weapon – even if you’re defending someone else and it’s your first offense.
i got into a fight on monday night, this is how i went about it, i was dancing with some girls on my own when some arse hole came up to me out of the blue screaming fuck off before he knocked my teeth out because that he liked these girls i was with , the girls were my friends, he had his face about 12 inches from mine, i put my hands up in a defencive manner trying to diffuse the situation i stepped back on numberous occasions, then assumed a sturdy stance,in a flash i grabbed his shirt and pulled him into a headbutt he brought his hands up to hold his now smashed nose obscuring his vission before he had time to recover i smashed him with a flurry of hard punches once he tried to curl down to protect his face i grabbed his shirt and proceeded to upper cut him and knee him till he was out of action, a supprise, fast ,frenzied attack is the best form of defence hopefully that so called man will look in the mirror at his mangled face and think more about his behaviour in the future and go out to clubs to have a good time like everyone else.
Im sorry but you probably you never were in a fight on the street. Ground is THE LAST place you want to end up…As soon as you are on the ground there is nothing that can prevent his buddies to stomp you…and if you believe that a scum picks up a fight with you when it is alone then you are deluded! i dont know where you have the 90% business. as i told…as soon as somebody is on the ground he is a good target for stomping. so yeah my main objective in the fight is to put HIM on the ground and NOT go down there with him…As soon as he is down its up to your consciousnes and fantasy what you can do with him
And you should never fight for submission in a streetfight. You can if you work as security or bouncer but if its a fight against some street scum and you cant escape (which is absolutly correctly in your post – defuse the situation OR run away if there is nobody you have to protect) then just try to do as much damage as possible before he can. Yeah you have to think about legal stuff and it depends on the stituation how far you go but if there are many of them or he has some kind of weapon you can basically do anything to him. Watch for witnesses though and be sure they will be on your side.
but the best thing while maybe not so manly is to try and avoid it at any means. Talk it down, talk to the bouncer if you are in a club or somewhere where they are, leave the place or simply run away if you can.
best regards
your article is cool. man,i never thought of many things written over here before hitting someone. these should be “Points To Remember”.
Seems like there’s a semi-consensus here that it’s best to avoid street fights at all costs, which I will join. Words of wisdom from a bouncer: if you get into a fight you will end up in the hospital, in jail, or in court, most probably all three.
I have had alot of street fights and bar fights so here is a list of what I have learned. any pointers are welcome.
1. THERE ARE NO RULES IN THESE TYPES OF FIGHTS. USUALLY THE DIRTIER, CLEVERER, AND LOWEST MAN WINS. I have busted up a black belt simply because i tossed my drink in his face followed by a disastrous sucker punch. NEVER THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE SKILLED YOU WONT GET YOU BUTT KICKED. I am an amateur boxer with over 65 fights and that is nothing on the street. In fact SOME MARTIAL ARTS MAY GET YOU KILLED IN A FIGHT.
2.IF YOU CAN TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF IT PLEASE DO THAT. AVOIDING A FIGHT IS BETTER THAN WINNING A FIGHT. However watch yourself whle you speak. the guy you are speaking to might take this as an opportunity to pounce on you or one of his buddies sneak up from behind and bust you head open with a bottle or something.(Trust me I been there)
3.RUN AWAY. Honour DOSENT EXIST in fights. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RULES. Trying standing against two cutlass or knife wielding dudes because you think you are trained in some exagerated fighting system and you will be in for a RUDE SUPRISE.
4.NEVER TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE GROUND. You may be overwhelming your opponent with your slick Ground and Pound game, but that won’t count for shit when his bonehead friends begin to STOMP THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of your stupid ass and KICK YOUR FACE IN.
5. IF YOU ARE DRUNK DO NOT FIGHT. your punches will not be going as fast as you think they are and then …………..well you know the rest.
6. IF YOU ARE TAKING SELF DEFENCE COURSES TRY SOMETHING LIKE MUAY THAI or THAT Israeli Shit. avoid sport karate and others. STREET BONEHEADS AND PUNKS can take an awful amount of punishment and still fuck you up. I have seen black belts HAD THE THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM DREADFULLY.
7.ALWAYS HIT FIRST. In most street fights the person who lands the first blow wins because it is usually followd by a rapid succession of blows and you will be on the floor nursing you wounds before you even get your fighting stance in position.
8.WHEN YOU HIT HIT TO IMMOBILIZE YOU OPPONENT. Whats the point in punching a guy only to have him recoil and STAB YOUR DUMB ass.
9.THE LAW. You don’t wanna get fucked up but you don’t wanna go to Jail or Pay the fine. I have done both. Judged by Twelve rather than carried by Six. Im still here am I not?
In the end i think that fighting is a rather despicable thing that should be avoided at all costs. however if you are backed into a corner make sure to FUCK YOUR ENEMY UP. There is no honour in being DEAD or CRIPPLED.
Cowering and crying like a little girl should not be overlooked. Scumbags don’t necessarily want to beat up a sissy.
It’s better to walk away looking like a pussy than not walking away at all.
submissions are good, some guy started shit with me and i leg sweeped him then put him in a rear naked choke. i won and didnt get in any trouble whatsoever

“Don’t bother with karate. Bare knuckles beat black belts ……..
Go find a Kyokushin dojo and tell them all about your bare knuckles beating their black belts.
”
This is the most ignorant comment of all hands down.
does this ignorant know about karate kyokushin ?? , sure not because he’s an ignorant and a sissy too, I dare you to go to a karate kyokushin dojo and fight anyone , any student. they will fracture your sorry ass, kyokushin is the hardest , toughest of all karate styles , full contact, bare knuckes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD2Nmk0JiFk
REad about it ignorant(Dave) before posting your BS again.
by the way you wouldnt last very long , and iam not talking about a fight ( you’ll be in a wheelchair) , am talking about the training .
A less mentioned weapon: Textbooks
A cardboard cover surrounding 600 pages of knowlege.
I was in a short (Incredibly short) brawl a year or so ago, I was carrying my textbook on my way to my car, and a student wanting to start a fight punched me in the back of the head. Immediately, I swung around and dealt a two-handed textbook blow to the side of the head, colliding with an almost comically loud crack, sending him sprawling and ending the fight right there. I continued on my merry way, and he never went near me again.
I hope this comes in handy for me as soon as tonight i plan on using these techniques tonight
Lots of great ideas here, and you can tell we’re all of the same mentality. Nice to see there are men out there who know how to fight, and how to avoid the confrontation. Then there are times where you face an opponent who may not be of sound mind. I read in a fighting book of philosophy once that the best way to look at your attacker, is as though a loved one was running out of a burning building, and on fire, and coming at you. You must contain them, and put out the fire without hurting them. That being said, I’ve fought multiple people at once, and some times it is unavoidable. You may even exhaust yourself on the first one, or the second, only to be sucker punched by the third (this happened to me). At that moment, I contained the third attacker, and made a choice. Do I do the next move which could possible kill this guy, or let him slip away. It seemed to come down to that. I let him go, i had nothing to prove. I think it should be noted that you can’t beat good technique, or the confidence it instills. However, there are times when you must make a decision about taking that next step. I felt at that moment, I could not go there. I fought 2 guys again years later, I was approached by a crazy person who liked my girlfriend lately, and walked away, I can think of two people who might jump me. It is important to be prepared mentally, and know that in our world, threats are real. It is important also to ask yourself this question even before you potentially engage next time. I’ve studied multiple martial arts, I’m about to start training again. I can’t see how any person could defeat me with the techniques, and reflexes that I have. I guess the simple concept I would advise in a situation is the following:
Any attacker, by definition is leaving himself open.
You must move away from the impact point, and into the vulnerable zone in one move.
You must then use a measure to contain the person. Be it restraining them, or striking them, and moving them into another oponent to confuse the situation, while perhaps striking a third oponent. There are many books and arts which pertain to these techniques. I think you must realize that you can’t always avoid situations, particularly avoiding all clubs when you have a beautiful girlfriend. You can’t walk away from all attackers. Remember, be prepared, wait to see how the attacker strikes, if it’s a fist get behind it, if it’s a kick grab it and throw them on their ass. Always fight with your hands up and open so you can grab the punch and elbow them to the face, or grab the kick at the thigh as it’s coming toward you. Don’t get drunk in public, and always try to get out of it! Don’t use weapons, take them away and don’t use them! Try to avoid lethal blows where necessary. Always try to think what a true master of martial arts would do. Ego is not involved. Nor hate, nor fear. Be relaxed when you fight, stand centered, use L-stance. Find a martial art that you love, and a master you admire. Stick with it. I’ve studied off and on for longer than most of you are alive
well yesterday i someone attacked me and gave me nic punch in to the head . One thing i have problem is that i don’t keep my hand up . Thank you very much for this article appreciate this.
One swift kick to the bridge of the nose usually finishes your opponent.
i’ve had to fight dirty before and it wasn’t a pretty site. the guy had me in a headlock so i bit his arm, elbowed his stomach, kicked him in the groin and threw him over.
i like the warcry idea.
In fights people genrally lose their thoughts and instinct kicks in. I’m trying to stop doing that.
Nothing quite like an article on fighting to bring out all the internet tough guys.
Just remember that whatever you do, you’d best be able to explain to a jury why you did it. A lot of tough talkers on here who have never been in a street fight, much less explain what happened afterward in a courtroom situation. BTW, if you’re a martial arts badass and you decide to show off and open up that can on somebody, chances are you’re going to face charges of excessive use of force unless you’ve used that in a situation where you had no other alternative. I know of two situations similar to the above where both ma guys saw jail time of no less than six months. Yep, six months.
Gary Slaughter -
” If you’re in an alley at 3 a.m. it’s anything goes, although if you’re in an alley at 3 a.m. you deserve to have your ass kicked.”
I don’t know about that – ever heard of night work ? I was just back from a shift when I was attacked by a burglar with a carpet knife. Did I deserve that ??
First of all attacking with all out force is number 1, it’s 90% mental. All out force s key. There are alot better things to do then punch, palm strikes, axe hands, knees, elbows, hammer fists all much more effective and are less likely to hurt you. As far as weapons, use them if u have them. If your decide your going to thrust a knife is someones gut, there is no way they can get it from you without being severely injured. Getting in trouble is the least of your worries if someone is attacking you. I’ve been in some fights. The court room is the least of my worries. Six months in jail vs. enternity in a grave or being serverely injured, i’ll take the jail. Anyone really interested in self defense should check out Kelly Mccann and his teachings. SImple real life methods of self defense.
“extra man points for first breaking the bottle and then thrusting the jagged part at your opponent”
Overall a good article, but this bit of humor could get somebody charged with aggravated assault, or worse. Unless you’re being clearly threatened with deadly force, you’re not allowed to use it either.
Again, Louis, it was to be taken as a joke. I don’t think a fight should escalate to having to use weapons.
When I was a boy I was jumped by 4 guys because I was from “the other side of the tracks”. I kicked one in the groin the other in the knee and punched one in the face when he was trying to get up, the other two ran. I had no choice but to fight. My advice is to aim for area’s that are sensitive, that’s what my Dad tought me.
Old post i know, but i feel it’s necessary for me to put my two-bobs-worth in… Who ever said going fucking mental is good, was totally right. I am not a tough guy by any means, I’m fairly short and quite unfit and can’t fight for shit. But the other day on the oval at school, some guy came up and spear-tackled me to the ground for no reason then when we were on the ground he punched me in the balls. I knew that if i fought with him, that i’d lose and i realized i had to do something really dramatic so i rolled over, as he was still on the ground next to me, and king hit (head butted) him in the face then got up and shouted hysterically at him lying on the ground… needless to say that he hasn’t bothered me since.
The way to win a fight is to be as animalistic as you possibly can. Do whatever you can to get the apponent to no longer have the will to fight. Also that UFC stuff doesn’t work in a street fight, don’t try it. Try to avoid the fight as much as possible but if you can’t do NOT hesitate that’s the easiest way to wind up on the ground.
i myself think that going all out on the opponent is the best solution. and by all out i mean them being dead or in a coma. i personally believe when you attempt to commit a crime against someone you should lose all your rights and be at your victims will. if he wants to smash your nose into your brain, its your own fault for instigating. it makes me so mad when i see honest, good people imprisoned because some arsehole decides to screw around with them and gets more than he bargained for.
ok well if ur gunna fight do it and dont be afraid to get in there and get hit of course your gunna take a few punches but from experience if the guy is bigger hit his nose cauz it will water up his eyes then either cheap shot or run and also hit as fast and as hard as you can there are no rules in a street fight so hit him where ever and dont be afraid to do some grappling if hes down and your on top of him you have a big advantage
