I wasn't in many fights as a kid, but I did win because I fought retards like this and my dad taught me to throw straight punches. Knowing nothing else except throw straights = you win 95% of kid fights.A straight right. A straight right. My kingdom for straight right!
I will second this notion.I wasn't in many fights as a kid, but I did win because I fought retards like this and my dad taught me to throw straight punches. Knowing nothing else except throw straights = you win 95% of kid fights.
Yes, don't panic and breathe. Most untrained people are gassed within 10 seconds. That I didn't learn until training kickboxing and BJJ later in life.I will second this notion.
I wasn’t in many fights in my life, and maybe 2 proper “squared up” fist fights.
Both I ended quickly with rudimentary straight punches, which I attribute to having taken a few years of karate when I was a kid.
thankfully the school I trained at had us throw many many repetitions of straight jabs and crosses (both stances) and at the higher belts we sparred a few times a month, which really helped me not to panic and keep focus.
If you Keep your hands up and throw straight punches You will win most fights against untrained people, particularly if there is alcohol involved, which there probably will be.
