Fighting Tips for someone who has no martail art training

[CoBra666]

ha. bouncers are required to take a class on how to dismantle a situation with words not violence. most ppl arent dumb enough to hit the bouncer its like an unwritten law, and lastly there are multiple bouncers at a time. bottom line is if u fight, there is gonna be a time you get ur ass handed to u whether ur the agressor or not so if u dont like that, then back off. even for silva or gsp or the ppl in the ufc. all it takes is one lucky punch to the chin, kidneys, throat or balls. if u get punched in the middle of an exhale in the chest, ur not gonna be breathing for a minute or 2. all u can do is train and learn to minimalize your chance of losing and raise your confidence in a fighting situation. plus in a bar fight any random person near the fight is gonna cheap shot u. dont ever think its one on one. me and 4 friends got the shit kicked out of us once buy the entire 25 person Cold Lake hockey team. i still fucked buddys girl so ha, but damn what an ass kicking. broken nose, busted ribs. one of the hockey guys looked at my buddy and pointed to me and said is that who fucked her, he looked to confirm and boom, dropped in one punch while lookin the other way. one guy is a machine he did well, but the other 2 were so drunk one guy hoodied the other and started feeding him shots, the hockey team didnt even know what to do, so they waited till they were done with each other then kicked the shit out of both of them. dont fight alone and hope for the best pretty much

Which is something everyone should take. It useful in non-hostile confrontations as well. I believe the English term is "verbal judo". Almost every fight can be avoided if you swallow your ego.

On the other hand, something else bouncers have that more valuable than any martial art is experience on the street.

I've bounced for over 5 years and seen quite a few "tough guys" choke when shit go serious. Those guys have fight training, but the adrenaline rush is a lot different on the street. Shit can escalate and get out of control very quickly.

I guess you'd be surprised how dumb people get with enough alcohol and/or drugs in their body. But indeed, I never worked alone. Numeric superiority is still the safest thing to have.

bottom line is if u fight, there is gonna be a time you get ur ass handed to u whether ur the agressor or not so if u dont like that, then back off.

If there is a way to back off, always do. This might be the best advice I can give anyone.

Seriously, I have seen life-changing stuff happen over the silliest of arguments. Leave your ego at the door. It's all fun if a few fists fly and the only thing truly hurt are egos. But then suddenly some drunk pulls out a knife and stabs a guy in the liver over a fucking dropped coat. I never knew humans had that much blood in them.

even for silva or gsp or the ppl in the ufc. all it takes is one lucky punch to the chin, kidneys, throat or balls. if u get punched in the middle of an exhale in the chest, ur not gonna be breathing for a minute or 2. all u can do is train and learn to minimalize your chance of losing and raise your confidence in a fighting situation. plus in a bar fight any random person near the fight is gonna cheap shot u. dont ever think its one on one. me and 4 friends got the shit kicked out of us once buy the entire 25 person Cold Lake hockey team. i still fucked buddys girl so ha, but damn what an ass kicking. broken nose, busted ribs. one of the hockey guys looked at my buddy and pointed to me and said is that who fucked her, he looked to confirm and boom, dropped in one punch while lookin the other way. one guy is a machine he did well, but the other 2 were so drunk one guy hoodied the other and started feeding him shots, the hockey team didnt even know what to do, so they waited till they were done with each other then kicked the shit out of both of them. dont fight alone and hope for the best pretty much

You must be very proud.

anyone who has taken full contact tournament style martial arts like kyokushin, boking, muay thai is just as well off as someone who is a street fighter. they are actually better off cuz they actually know how to fight. u think the end all and be all to fighting is being a bouncer. well a bouncer has no better of a chance winning than anyone else. especially someone who knows how to fight. by your logic a marine is a better fighter because of the death and tragedy he has seen? no, its because of his combat training. and no i am not proud, i think its funny but my point was i have been fighting my whole life, on the street in martial arts tournaments. maybe 1 on 1 i could have knocked every one of those guys out, but we'll never find out cuz there was a whole hockey team against 5. thats how real life goes. i have kicked alot of ass in my life, and ive had my ass kicked many times too. the best you could do is learn the basics of a well rounded striking martial art like muay thai, not a self defence or workout kickboxing or kickboxercise class, but a real muay thai tournament style camp. kyokushin, even boxing, jeet kun do,

When fighting for your life remember your teeth/jaw is your ultimate weapon, it doesn't take a very strong person to remove a large chunk of flesh and get a horrifying amount of blood to come gushing out, fight over.

Also the collarbone is a nice target, an elbow can break it and end the fight. At least that's what I've been taught, never tried it on a live opponent.

Look into kinetic linking. Lot's of people throw big punches but don't even do damage. I really don't want to try and sound tough, as there are millions of people that can whip my ass, but I can take a hit like nothing. I doubt I've been hit 'right'.

Don't hit someone once and wait for a response. Hit em, and already be coming in with the next hit. Kinetic linking let's you use your weight. The more you weigh, the harder you can hit. I broke a man's clavicle. Best hit I've ever laid, didn't hurt my hand or anything. You KNOW when a hit is good. I've only been in 4 fights in my entire life, though. Had to go to court for the guy with a 'broke face', but had many witness that it was in self defense. Haven't been in a fight in 2 years. Nicest guy you will meet unless you hit on my woman or simply try and pick on me. I have no fight training, so I don't have many tips except make your hits count. Make em hurt. A sloppy punch is a waste of energy.

Debating on posting this. I do not know a lot about fighting. I am not a bad ass. And you are better off not fighting because, at least in my experience, you stay pretty riled up for 6+ weeks after.

Freakshow85, Very true. You must hit more than once. You keep the pressure on till you feel safe to stop.
Ozzie, any word on your training since this thread was started?

 

[Judo Tom]

best tip for someone w/ no training is to get training. even 1x per week is gonna add up and make you safe on the street pretty quickly.

other than that keep your hands up.
