It is far better to walk away with your teeth still intact than to risk serious injury. But when it comes down to that rare occasion when you need to defend yourself, you can’t hesitate or be squeamish about using techniques that will save your life. Lets examine a few of them.

Why in the world would your body shut down fine motor skills when your life is being threatened? The thing is your body sacrifices fine motor stills for increased strength and speed in gross (or large) motor skills. These are much more important things like running, jumping, punching, and kicking.

The key to scientific street fighting is understanding this reaction, and creating a fighting system that takes full advantage of your stronger and faster gross motor skills. Don’t even waste your time trying to learn complex moves your body simple won’t let you use in the heat of the moment.

Street Fighting Tip: Rehearse Your Moves!

One of the most forgotten aspects to street fighting survival is to rehearse your moves!

Unless you are practicing a set of self-defence moves day in and day out, it is highly likely that you mind will go blank when you are in a genuine street fight. The pressure of having to handle the confrontation…the shock of being in a street fight…the worry that you life perhaps in danger…all these will make you lose your composure and freeze when you are forced into a deadly street fight scenario.

These are tallied up and a winner of each round is decided. In most fights, judges award the winner of the round ten points, and the loser anywhere from nine to zero points. If the round is said to be a tie, both fighters are awarded the full ten points. If the points are tied at the end of the match, the judges will get together and use their own discretion to decide a winner.

In match fighting there are a lot of “no no’s” that are not present in street fights. These moves include spitting, hair pulling, hitting in the shorts area and scratching to name a few. This causes a penalty on the perpetrator and if done a few times in a single match, can cause disqualification and will lose the match instantaneously.
