Don't Punch In A Street Fight Bruce Lee's JKD

[@avakinzerochill]

Rule of thumb: hard to soft and soft to hard - use the hard fist to attack the stomach, ribs, liver, etc. Use the palm to attack hard surfaces, like the face.

[@listen7634]

RBC Gaming Vlogs and more! I could be wrong but pretty sure your palm would break fairly easy against anyone’s forehead unless your a trained fighter with rigorously conditioned hands. However, a trained fighter would never aim for the forehead bc they know how strong it is. This is part of the reason why you tuck your chin in. They would aim for the liver but I think “soft” isn’t the best choice of words. Vulnerable would be better.

[@ChrisStumer]

Bruised knuckles can be used as evidence in a court of law, that's why palm strikes are good.

[@thaichatham]

I got charges dropped cause I punched this guy through an open window. He grabbed a hammer, swung it at me missed and broke his own window. I pulled him out and fed him a few knees and left quickly as he was already on the phone with the police. He told the police I punched in his window. No cuts of course and all the glass on the outside. Charges dropped simply cause he lied, they didn't even question why I was there in court or if I punched him at all.

She submitted to the rape, but once the man dropped his pants to reveal his genitals the woman grabbed his testicles, pulled, twisted, and squeezed. She led him out of her house. the man was hitting her and doing is best to get her hand off of his testicles but she kept on holding on too them until she finally got him out of her front door and then pushed him into the snow off of her porch. It was February at the time and there was a lot of snow on the ground. She called the police and the police followed his foot prints to his house. He lived only about a half a block a way. When the police got to his house they looked inside the front window and saw the perpetrator on the floor of his living room, naked from the waste down, holding onto his family that was between his legs. The police walked into his house and arrested him.

Not true, Bruce said use what works for you, disregard the rest, well if like Bruce you had training or like me by the 2 best Tae Kwon Do Masters on Earth ever, namely Jhoon Goo Rhee and Suu Kyi Yeoung then yes, at green light or long distance fighting the kick is perfect for interception and if trained in TKD above all else, some forms of Kung Fu and some forms of high proficient Kick Boxing, then there is no way 1 or 2 or 3 fighters can touch you or get close enough to land a punch or a shove or any close quarters fighting.

[@diongibbsbpwp160]

If taught for real life and self improvement and not tournament safe fighting or glorified sparring with a partner under the safety of rules and regulations, then fly or high kicking unless highly proficient is useless., the side kick is highly potent, the kick to the groin highly potent and if fast and powerful then a front round house and the standard reverse round house kick, are what is best.

[@sword-and-shield]

No kicks above the knee, but a no kick approach to street fights is foolishness.

[@sword-and-shield]

@Alacycle I would say grabbing is less likely, but possible. More likely is just pushing the leg upward, very high, causing them to lose footing and crash down backward onto their neck, with your body weight coming down on top of them.

[@sword-and-shield]

@Alacycle No problem, my mistake was thinking your original post was for me ...it wasn't. Now, for my opinion , blocking kicks is a huge mistake, or going for a grab, I see it a lot in mma as well.The best move for any kick waist level or higher is to close in, the sweep is one way, capture can sometimes work, but always close in hard, it will save you in the end, because if it becomes habit they will never land one with enough power to do anything.. The most devastating move we used bouncing, was called "Tree Topping"...It is closing in getting under the leg and lifting it sending them crashing back on their neck, followed by my body weight on top, usually KO'd them. ALWAYS keep them kicks at the knee or lower, or devastation is very possible, concerning street fighting anyway.

If you are worried about hurting your hands in a fight, don't fight. Biggest mistake is going into a fight and thinking you won't get hurt or worrying about getting hurt. I would argue that you can still injure your wrist with a palm strike. The most meaningful difference would be the reach between a palm strike and a punch. Test it out yourself, a punch has at least a 3" advantage in range, which is huge in any kind of fight.

There are pros and cons to both. The palm has high layers of fat, so this will be less damaging upon impact (due to the fat acting as a cushion). Open fingers leaves them all prone to breaking - if you miss with palm. And there is about 4 inches less reach with a palm strike. You can get more power in a 'jab' or straight lead by using opponent's momentum. You make them run into your lead and this is like running into a wall. It also feels entirely natural to use the fist as a striking weapon.

[@Badkitty24]

He is very correct. Everybody in street fights, punch in the face and almost every one can take a punch to the face, many times several. It's very ineffective and will cause more damage to you than your opponent. Throat, groin, knees are great target. The first two more so without much practice. Remember the karate kid movie, " if an enemy can't see, he can't fight. ( palm strike to nose ) , if an enemy can't breathe he can't fight ( throat strike ) . If an enemy can't stand, he can't fight ( knee or groin strike ). Then walk/run away. Who freaking cares what other people think how you handled it. Don't let " be a man " influence your judgement. Fights can escalate very quickly when the aggressor is losing. Don't be around for it. I have 11 years in marital arts ( Shorin-Ryu Shotokan and American Kickboxing ) I've never let any arguement escalate to violence. Name calling and posturing/intimidation don't work on me..i simply don't care what they think or say. They all walk away angry.

If you dont think you can mess people up with palm strikes watch early pancrace in Japan. Bas would mess people up. And contrast that with early UFC tournaments where fighters would scratch left and right between rounds because of broken hands. The reason they had to set up a super-fight to have the rematch between Gracie and Shamrock was because after UFC 1 Shamrock kept breaking his hand in the the tournaments. That said you can punch bare-knuckle without breaking your fist but it is a skill and it is still more risky than palm strikes.

[@derektaylor2845]

Holy hell. Taking advise from someone who obviously never have been in a street fight will get you beat up. The angle of an effective palm strike has to be perfect. Best of luck with that. Fists, elbows, knees and feet. I love fight martial arts guys. They rarely get anything in and panic once their bell gets rung.

[@df71091]

If the palm strike fails as the opponent is a hobby boxer and has his hands up to cover his head , idk , a fist seems to be faster and easier to bring through the defense

[@PayneMaximus]

I was taught this a long time ago, and it works. I always wondered, however, if the same thing applies to kicking with the heel vs kicking with the balls of the feet. The heel has a lot of impact, but because it's hard you can also break a bone, whereas the balls of the feet is softer and much safer.

[@DanLok]

Correct but we also have to consider other factors. Shoes or no shoes? Types of floor? And weather condition.

[@PayneMaximus]

It doesn't make much sense I guess if wearing shoes, so I was meaning the case when kicking barefoot. Wearing heavy trekking boots is insane for kicking. Also, I don't think the impact on the leg is that much different when kicking with the heel or the balls of the feet, although it could be an issue on the long run.

[@levonbryan5577]

if you kick with the front of your foot instead of the ball of the heel, you run the risk of hyper extending , having your foot push up towards your shine bone too hard. I've done it and it hurts so bad you instantly want you hop and stand on one foot, which leaves you vulnerable to a take down or being sweeped. I missed kicking a board in half and kicked it with the toe area and it hyper extended my foot. Use your heal. trust me

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I have almost injured my front ankle and calf with kicks from the ball of the foot. mind you I had training and conditioning. not saying it isn't effective or can't work, but just be cautious of how and where you kick.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

I would only add that the types of shoes would be considered as well as whether or not you wear them... "In the field" it's all about practical... practical... and practical. That's because this is no longer a sport. In sport, you're not actually looking to commit harm to someone. You risk it, but that's not the actual goal. When it's no longer a sport, you look to put the other person face down on the ground... period. Keep your efforts, ideals, and moves SIMPLE. Getting complicated isn't even possible in a "real" fight. I use quotes because some people like to think it's real when they "ass around" instead... SO define "real" at YOUR peril. It's why I don't practice for sport. On kicks, if you're going to do it at all. I would advise generally use the heel. HOWEVER, the exception is when the top of the foot is called for... as in close quarters shots to the groin, armpit, and upward force is demanded. IF you practice and condition your shins properly, they too can be employed... SPARINGLY... Finally, it's rarely a good idea to put yourself in a precarious position "in the field". Remember, opponents can have friends, and the last place you need to be is on your back. Picking your feet up high off the ground is a precarious position by nature, so caution, regardless of skill level, is best. ;o)

[@maxedwhip1286]

Rafael Roquemore you dont work out im guessing. More you work out more pressure your wrists will get. They arent muscles on their own at all. Muscles support them but wrists will break quite easily.

[@edi9892]

I feel my wrists safer in palmstrike than regular strike, since I'm used to support my bodyweight on my bent wrist, but flexing it the other way I don't get far. If I bet, I'd say that I could still hit with the upper part of the palm without damaging my wrist. However, if I hit with my fingers, i'll either break my wrist or fingers. If you want to reduce the risk, you can roll your fingers in, in something called a leopard-fist (it's like unrolling your regular fist one step to reveal your palm). That greatly reduces the risk of getting entangled and it also reduces the maximum leverage on your wrist.

The exception to this rule: Learn HOW to throw a punch the right way WITHOUT breaking your fist. Throw it vertically with the knuckles of the middle and ring fingers making contact with the chin or side of the jaw. And you HAVE to have the right body mechanics for when you’re throwing a punch so that you do maximum damage without using muscular force.

[@robertlehnert4148]

There is something Doctor's call "boxer's fist", Even if you manage not to break your knuckeles, if the skin is split you can be in a LOT of trouble. All those germs get driven way into your now exposed tissue and your skin retracts back over, making it very hard to thoroughly debride the bacteria out of there. Infections are very common and can result in long courses of antibiotic treatments, and that may not save you from eventual amputation-- or worse if you get something like flesh-eating streptococcus.

[@fun_ghoul]

For the audience playing along at home, this person is talking about two different things. "Boxer's injury" is when you push in your knuckle, like I once did on my right hand; the bacterial thing is called "fight bite", a definite risk in bare-knuckles boxing.

[@brianmucha6426]

My karate teacher (Okinawan karate), taught me the elbow and knee are 2 most powerful striking forces. I practice elbows a lot. I once squared off w two traditional boxers. I waited for them to get closer and I stepped in brought my left knee up into the gut of guy on the left and after I placed my foot down I brought my right knee up into the guy on my rights gut, both on the ground in seconds holding their stomachs. Probably hit them about in their solar plexus. Boxers never expect moves like that. Neither even threw a punch!

Brian...if they were boxers..Because you announced yr intentions by squaring off.. the mili-second you were in range of an 80 in reach..you could have got yr ass knocked out before you even threw your short knees..which by the way is the wrong knee for each guy if you squared up & facing them..& the the guy on the right was doing nothing while you kneed his partner..Oh OK ..got it!! Knees are normally used in clinches & inclose fighting..I suggest that if they were strictly boxers & not mixed..Start by throwing yr kicks to the thighs, mid section & head..you would have a greater extention.. ( But I,m glad it worked out for you) AH...hmm...sry just clearing my throat!!!

[@WhyteLis21]

I thought all your power and strike force comes from the movement of your body and not your hands or fists? Your fists are just an extension of that force being deliver.

[@ChristianKangBachini]

yeah, hands are just the tool for delivering the power, but always add that a good conditioned hand is also a powerful weapon itself. So the power of the technique mixed with a strong delivering tool make for the ultimate weapon.

[@Asmodeity]

The fist does protect your fingers and lightens the impact on the wrist.

True in a lot of respects. Also good in theory but don’t forget to mention though that you’re sacrificing a few inches of reach by going from punch to palm. The The jab is also a tool for keeping the distance and measuring distance. I don’t care how good you think you are at closing the gap if your opponent knows how to work that jab you’re not gonna close the distance properly like while practicing a predetermined route. Very different in real life. Plus your guy was not jabbing properly he was deliberately spoofing it for your demonstration. Peace.

[@equitaz]

The question is what has the higher probability of happening. Breaking the knuckles when punching someones head or breaking the fingers when trying to slap.. a open hand in a combat situation is a weakness to be exploited by the enemy. They can grab your fingers much more easily and in a fight theres a lot of movement so you better get that open hand hit on spot or your fingers might do the hitting and that hurts alot. I recommend training your knuckles to withstand someones head. At least from breakage. Start by doing puchups on the knuckles on a hard surface. Or breaking thicker boards to accomplish this.

[@alika86]

equitaz purely out of curiosity... what is your fighting background and have you ever been in street fights? Slaps have worked for me. I can pull my fingers back way faster than they can grab. And being slapped is shocking and demoralizing lol.

Slapping someone is gonna get you hurt... I grew up fighting in the streets. Straight direct punches to the Jaw and Nose are most effective along with head and body movement

But someone with a big ass pitbull neck, rusty hulk hands, and a hard ugly lookin face... You can even be a boxer and your knuckles will be 2wice the size they were for life and you'll be on you tube bleedin. Keep 2 3inch long metal pipes 1 1/2 inch thick. And hammer fist the fuck outta them to where the metal sticks out past your palm and connects to their face. And yes I will keep 2 small compact pipes in my pocket or even in my hands at times in certain areas. People be trippin now days and everyone so quick to fight for social media cred.
