 mistakes in the street fight that you must know. Here are things that I learned from Bruce Lee's training, from Wing Chun, from self-defense, from combato's training, and you must know these if you want to win street fights and avoid getting hurt, avoid getting injured. So are you ready? Let's go. Mistake number three in a street fight is not out being aware of the fighting distance and letting somebody come too close. So what are the fighting distances in a street fight or in martial arts and in fighting in general? Let's talk about them one at a time. So first distance is when he is out of range. That means even if I take a step and I kick, I can't reach him, or I take a step and I punch, I can't reach him. This is the safest distance and obviously this is the distance that you want to be in because you can want to be in the fight in the first place. The second distance is kicking range. So another step in is kicking range because all you have to do is to take a step and kick and can reach him, or even take a step and punch and you can reach him. So this is the kicking range. The second one is the striking range or punching range because you can punch him or you can take a step. You just reach out and you can punch him. This is also called the conversation range because this is how you talk to people usually in a regular situation. Then we come to the posture range. They're like this, they're pushing each other, they're in each other's faces, they're showing each other swearing and this is called a grappling range if you want. So what range do you want to be in a street fight? Obviously you want to be out of range first, but next let's say that the attacker is coming closer to you. Now you have an option right at that time when he's about to come close to you. As you can even walk away at the same time or basically get ready for him to come into your mixed striking range. So let's go back for a second. So he doesn't say he's there and he's posh and hey, he's pointing at you and hey, you want to fight, you want to fight. So that's one I can only walk away because I'm maintaining the safe range. It may not be the best option for you, maybe there's no way to run, maybe your path is blocked behind you or it's too crowded and you can't move away. So maybe walking away is not the best option, but that's up to you to decide based on the situation. Most of the time what I would do is if somebody is further away, I'll get into a position where I'm ready to attack. Which is basically being forward, having most of my weight on my front leg, my hands down so I'm not showing him that he that I'm about to attack that I'm ready and also I am kind of leaning slightly forward kind of hunching so that I create a spring in my spine and spring in my legs so that I'm ready to pounce. So we'll get into that in another video on how to get in an attack position, but right now we'll just talk about distance. So distance, when he's in the kicking range distance, that's basically when you need to be ready to attack because once he steps into the kicking range, if you don't attack first, he can already attack you because he can kick you or he can punch you at that time. So the second big mistake I can make in a street fight is to not attack first because statistically 80% of the fights that are won are won because the person attacked first. It has nothing to do with their training, it doesn't matter if you train for 20 years, it doesn't matter of their size, how big they are, how strong they are, it's actually the person who attacked first has 80% chance of winning the street fight and why is that? Well, let's ask how long do street fights usually last? How long do you think they last? Right, they're pretty fast, right? Basically it's like boom, boom, boom, one, two, that's already wrong. Think about how many punches you can throw in six seconds already. There's a lot of punches, you're going like boom, boom, boom, boom. That's eight punches already. I'm just throwing a lot of punches. That's usually what happens in street fights. Just a lot of punches. If you look at some wild punches, street fights, that's like four seconds already through eight punches. So there's so many people who will attack you fast and furious in a real street fight. So it doesn't take many seconds for a street fight to end. So that's why you need to be one attacking first. For the number one mistake that people make in street fights, here it is. The number one mistake that people make in street fights is fighting too honorably or expecting the other guy to fight honorably. We're in the street, there's no rules. So everything goes. So if you are going to fight honorably, for example, what? If you're going to fight honorably, you only do that in a ring situation, whether it's a referee. If you're on the street, you don't know if the guy's drunk down at his mind. You want to walk away alive and basically in good condition. So you do anything that works. So fight dirty. What's dirty? Poke in the eyes, go through the throats, groin, go up for the weak spots because the guy's bigger than you. He may be carrying a gun or knife. He will have friends with him most of the time. So is that situation honorable to start with? Do you want to just stick with sparring rules? I don't think so, right? Because now you are in danger of your life. So you have to be able to do things that are effective. What's the most effective thing? Like I said, attack the most vulnerable spots on your target, right? And a bonus tip is to hit as hard as you can. A lot of people, they spar and then just like they just do 50% and they train 50% hits, right? Nobody really gets hurt, which is fine for training, right? To build it up to that level, but you need to have some training where you use all your force. For example, easy way to do that is practice with targets, right? Practice with targets and hit as hard as you can, right? Hit as hard as you can, right? And then, so practice hitting as hard as you can so that you can get used to putting all your, all your body momentum into every attack, okay? If you want to learn how to hit harder, make sure you watch my video on how to punch harder. It's got over 4 million views and it's got a lot of tips and exercises to help you get hit harder. So let's summarize what are three mistakes off street fights. First is distance. If the person is getting too close to you, it gives him the advantage. Let's say here, if you're this close and he attacks first, then most likely you're going to lose the fight because you don't have time to react. Now if you're this far and he's coming in, you want to get, you want to be the one that's closing the distance and you want to be the one that attacks first, which leads us to the third, the third mistake that you will do is not attacking vital targets, dirty fighting targets, which is the eyes, okay? So number three, make sure you don't attack the eyes or kick him in the balls, okay? Or punch him in the groin, okay? Or the throat. So those are the three mistakes that people make in street fights and three ways to train and three ways, three concepts that you can use to make sure that you increase the chances of winning the street fight in self-defense or in any combat situation.
