Do you use a jab in a street fight??

[ßringer]

I started watching A-Rod at bat and then I started hitting home-runs too.

Just an FYI: Watching boxing and actually doing it are two different things. And if you think it's as easy as fighters make it look, then you must be drunk or ******. Or both.

When did I ever say it was?

Fact is ; there are some things one can learn simply by observing the sport of boxing that will benefit you in a fighting situation. Things the general public at large is completely unaware of.

Things like how to hold your hands properly, how to maintain a solid base with your feet, how to throw straight punches, the importance of a jab, etc...

You don't need to be a professional boxer to understand any of that. Saying you do is complete ignorance.

Simply observing and practicing on your own will put you at an advantage against the average douche on the streets who holds his hands low, swings wide, and can't keep a base for ****.

Straight right hand before they know it's coming. Keep 'em short, fast and straight- step on their toes and get inside. GG. I wouldn't really throw a jab unless the right hand doesn't knock them down/out.

Okay.

It's street fighting, not boxing. And btw, this is the wrong thread to ask this in, because most of these ******s never stepped in a ring before, and probably haven't been in too many street fights either.

I didn't even ask it.

The thread starter did.

I simply replied.

Either hand does damage without gloves, if you boxed a little and can use either hand to apply the 8-9lbs pressure then of course you gonna use it. Most angry young street fighters in this day and age are uneducated in the arts and have a non-exsistant off hand.

Striaght right hand. Jab is easy to land until you start rolling around in the ground and such.

Simple question...does a jab help in a street fight? almost every fight I see, there are dudes throwing haymakers and going wide. Thoughts?

It depends. If you can get to the other guy's face with a huge shot, why not do it? I wouldn't piss aronund with a jab in a street fight if I could get a haymaker in there cleanly, and usually you can because most people don't have great reaction speed.

This is something I never understood ; people who say street fights always end up on the ground.

Not once, in any of the times I've ever scrapped in the streets as a kid or as a young adult, has any dude ever mounted me in the streets.

In Philly we'd just stand and trade, and if you got dropped, you either got up, or quit.

Then again, MMA wasn't really popular back in the 90's. Maybe it's more common for fights to goto the ground now.

It's quite useful, just to set the straight. In my case I'm a lefty so I use to lead with a straight left and always lands.

You could die in a street fight so you should kick him in the nuts or pull his eyeballs out. **** the jab.

Fights seem to go to the ground now. When ever I see guys fighting and they get close one guy always tries to slam the other one. and then mount them

The best move IMO is to punch their throat. Yeah it's dirty but who cares

in the boxing ring i use the jab consist of 70% of my punches, I use it for offense as well as defense manuver, because jabs are incredbly quick and carry with it the snap required to stun my opponents.

in the streets i'm not dumb enough to use my precious bare hands unlike so many of you tough thugs, i have dispelled querrelsome situations simply by employing my jab with a pointy pen or a knife, trust me, once people see how fast and hard you can launch/jab with a weapon, they suddenly have doubts lol. a explosive, quick hard jab with a knife to any reagion of the human body is incredibly deadly in a brawl, granted you have to have decent speed.
