Street Fight Advice
This is not a sparring session. This is the real deal ... a real
street attack. Now, what?
In a street fight, assuming that you can't get away, you are either
going to have to deal with a hit or kick or you are going to have to
be the one to make the first move.
Even if you are being attacked, you can still be the first one to
strike.
Note: Often the courts will rule against you, if you are the first to
hit. In their eyes, that's not self defense. Even if you feel you
were forced to strike out, in order to protect yourself. Be aware of
the law.
So, at some point, you are going to have to hit. Even if you kick
first, then chances are that you will eventually hit, as well. If
your attacker hits first, then you are really going to have to hit.
Either you will respond to your attacker's hit with a block and then
a hit, a kick and then a hit, or a hit -- eliminating any extra
blocking motion that would precede the punch.
Did you know that once you are in punching range, you will probably
continue the fight from that range, or move even closer....
