Best in a street fight?

it's too big a risk to use your fists when your life is in the balance. i teach self defense for a living, not fighting, but self defense, methods of keeping you alive and out of trouble. one time or another something might not happen to you when you use a fist, but the reality is the risk is far greater than the reward. there are too many bones, joint and tendons in your hand that compromise the stability of your strike, especially a bare fist against a hard ass skull. i have known people( a certain person in this case ) to break a knuckle on another guy chin, knocking the guy out and busting a knuckle at the same time. then having to fight off homeboys friends. luckily i was there to get my friend out of there before he got murdered, and luckily i knew the bouncers so they got him out of there before the cops came. the reality is, using your fists in a real street fight is a risk, you can take the risk and nothing might never happen to you, and i hope nothing does ever happen, but the fact of the matter is you can hurt your hand a hell of a lot easier when using a fist instead of using a edge of hand blow or use a tiger claw palm strike, or an elbow. perfect case in point, bare knuckle boxing, guys would dip their head when their opponents threw so they would strike the top of their head, which would in turn hurt their opponents hand more than it hurt their head, in a lot of cases the guy striking would break or sprain something. if a guy throws up an elbow in front of his face to defend himself and you hit him on the elbow? what's going to win, the elbow or your fist? the fist will get busted hitting an elbow straight on. like i said, if your life is on the line, a fist isnt worth the risk. plus you can't gouge anyones eye out with a fist!

in a real live street fight if you're using your fists you're a fool. and if you go to the ground you're playing Russian roulette because the guy you're fighting could have his boys near by who would stomp your head flat. if you use your fists you are highly likely to break, dislocate, or sprain something, and if that happens to one of your hands, you might as well chop off your arm because it's useless. the pain is so much that even using it for defending or blocking is going to be excruciating. in a real life fight(street fight) your weapons should be an edge of hand blow, tiger claw palm strike, elbows, knees, stomping with your feet, various front kicks(whip kick, side kick, pivot kick) and finger darts. using boxing in a real life street fight is very risky and very limited, even world class fighters who are trained even when they wrap their hands still bust their hands from time to time. so if you aren't trained like that or even if you are trained like that, it's a huge risk when your life is on the line to use your fists, because in a real street fight your life is on the line and you can' afford to get hurt. like someone else said, it's a street fight with no rules, finger dart him in the eyes, kick him in the dick, chop him in the back of the neck, get him on the ground and stomp'em flat, make sure they aint going to get up and try to fight anymore, and never turn your back on them thinking it's over...................................

stick and move....stick and move!

there are no rules in a fight!!! kick him in the nads!!! exactly :banana:

a poke in the eye will usually do it or a kick to the balls

Most fights normally go to the ground so if you are a boxer i would say keep your distance and throw.

i've never come up against someone on the street who could actually fight...usually a few short punches are all you need, like a jab, then str8 followed by a short sharp uppercut most people who can fight are humble and know they can throw down....they dont need to go around getting into fights to prove themselves, which is why the ones with the big mouths usually end up in hospital. i dont hang around bars or drink, but i`m guessing these people are the easiest to fight.
