Large son's got guns. Needs to work on his form a bit. Remember you want to line up your first and second knuckle with your radius (larger inside forearm bone):

You can feel the proper alignment by just pushing your fist into your palm, you'll know it when you got it right, if you line it up right you can punch a hole straight through two layers of interior drywall with relative ease and little strength training. Stance, form and catching your opponent off guard are the three biggest parts of winning a fight quickly. And of course go for the jaw or the nose, never the head especially not the temple. Don't want to accidentally kill someone (easier than most people realize). Also if you're not going for a knockout, a solid strike to the solar plexus will usually decommission someone real fast too.

And if you really have to do some damage quickly and escape, a hard side strike to the knee will drop them, and if they do get up, they won't be able to follow you very well.

You need to do everything in your power to hyperextend the knee in any direction it doesn't normally bend, and really put your weight into it. A kick will do, but if you have to, like if you're already on the ground, throw yourself against the side of his knee with all your body weight.

He won't be running after you.

Re: solar plexus
I once sparred with a buddy and accidentally got him right in the kidney. He was the experienced boxer who was supposed to give me my first sparring round and one kidney punch took him out completely. Learn how to do kidney punches I suppose?

I just saw the video, and yeah. That was an awful punch tbh. Homie is built like a brick shithouse and clearly didnt put that weight into it. This is not a knock on the guy's weight at all, it is based on my experience having my clock cleaned by a dude with a similar build before who knew how to throw it into his fist. Nose would be the best target here what with it being on camera and the cops blasting in, broken jaws suck and often need surgery which would have to be covered by him. Plus a broken nose bleeds a lot and makes for a show. In the end, glad he did it anyway, punching s fascist badly is still better than not punching one.

Honestly I've seen worse at short notice.

Yeah being punched in the nose fucking sucks. My grown ass would probably be in tears with even a good moderate tap on the button. Whole lot of nerve endings there. Just like with a gut punch, which not only knocks the wind out of you but also is a major hub of the central nervous system which is far more likely to trigger an autonomous response, that is why people double over so quick.

The last time I got punched it was in the nose and it was like a finishing hit in a fighting game, I got laid the fuck out. Don't get into fights as an adult.

When they go out, you go in.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 12 points 19 hours ago

Don't get into fights as an adult.

Unless you need to or have a good reason but yeah. Let the younger gen scrap it out lol

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 23 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Great explanation, don't forget to plant those feet, push through the legs, and rotate those hips to really put your whole ass into the blow!

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 5 points 16 hours ago

And keep your other hand up so its ready to deflect blows or throw a quick eye poke

rat-salute Thanks comrade. This advice has definitely come in handy for me personally, and I had to learn some of it the hard way.

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

rat-salute-2 I figured you knew since you're laying down the sweet science like that but I wanted to add for anyone else reading. Yeah I for real did not experience the kind of casual violence many people and many people here have encountered either in the home or on the schoolyard, in the neighborhood, or on the mean streets as adults, and I do not envy that experience.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 10 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

I got the hat trick. I've experienced all three lol.

More advice: take your shirt off. This has a couple components. People who scrapped before will know you are for real, if your opponents are experienced they will recognize this and might go into negotiation mode. If your opponents are probable going to try to fight you anyway but don't know why you are taking your shirt off they will be offput. Removing your shirt makes it much harder for people to get purchase on you so taking off loose clothing can be helpful. If you wear in open jacket this can also be used to your advantage by keeping it on in the case someone grabs you, you can shed layers of clothes to get out of their grasp. Learn to instictually shed layers when appliccable. Also there is a reason skinheads cut off all their hair. One less thing to grab.

Fighting multiple aggressors: Identify the front man of the group and do the first thing, suprise knock them the fuck out. Now one of two things will happen: the others back off, they try to grapple with you (hence removing the shirt) what you want to do now if people come at you from multiple sides is to plant you feet and throw your weight backward. This will destabilize whoever is behind you and set you up to rotate into the type of punch I described above. During this time you will probably have to shrug off a couple lumps but your adrenalin will be through the roof you won't really even feel anything till after the fact. So you've knocked away the third party, clocked the second party.

Now you are going to heel turn and replant that back foot in the direction of the last guy you punched and repeat that same hip rotation and follow through on the one in front of you now, who in this 1v3 hypothetical is now in front of you.

Should I carry a bottle of fight grease with me at all times?
