How to Stay Calm Before and During a Fight - Gaining Confidence to Win a Fight

[@liamheadland1040]

I got into a fight and thankfully won against a bully in my school and thank you shane for the help and you are right bullies suck

[@fighttips]

It's awesome to hear you could defend yourself against a bully. Be safe!

[@robot2rusty]

***** I had to defense myself against a bully years ago. I put him in a headlock and hit him in the head repeatedly and that quickly stopped it. Bullies suck! Safely first and don't become a statistic!

[@tenzinchoper1775]

same here bro, a bully was screaming behind me and my friends. we looked back and he was talking on the phone and said wtf r u looking at. I was like ain't nobody looking you, then he was like shoot the fair one which is 1 on 1. I was like y u wanna fight me when I had 2 ppl with me and told him just walk away it's all cool. But he thought I was scared and still want to fight me, then started brawling and he failed on the floor and I got on top of him and ground and pound him till he can't fight anymore. It was a clean fight, but he said he got slipped, and I asked him if you want round 2.He was like naww with low voice.

[@noobjitsu1743]

Liam Headland looks like you got a girl too? good job!

[@hrrvehbdbeb2268]

fightTIPS Its a different thing when the bully is your brother. He is older and stronger than. me. He knows this and always looks for a way to get in a fight with me knowing he would easily win. Sometimes I wish he or i could just die. Either way, its an end to half of my problems

[@Thinkableness]

True Freedom is the Beauty of Life ego is much more than cockiness and self confidence, it includes some of the other thoughts and feelings that people generally wish they didn't feel. Jealously is a part of the ego, including self doubt.

[@Davidisawesome15]

Mr MarkeZG I'm honestly more afraid of beating myself than getting beat in a fight. What I mean is that I know damn well I can fight, very very good. I'm a state wrestler, I've done karate for a while, very into MMA and watch tons of videos on it. When I'm level headed and focused, I can probably beat any average person on the street fairly easily. However I always get super flustered and nervous during confrontations, and it's almost like I completely forget anything I've ever been taught. I need to learn to master myself.

[@okay5573]

Being afraid is good. You shold learn how to re-engineer your brain to activate the fight instead of flight instinct. Being afraid causes your muscles to twitch at an extreme rate, due to all the adrenaline, which in turn will increase literally all your attributes, such as strength, reflexes, vision etc

You forgot to mention ONE VERY IMPORTANT Move also, which is - While Your In The Hands Up "I Dont Want To Fight" Position You Should Also Bring Your Right Leg Back (for a righty) And Your Left Leg Forward, So Your Basically In a Fighting Stance Position ... This way you are in a stance,balanced and ready for ANYTHING, and for whatever you NEED to do to STOP Your Attacker .. What I Always tell people to do is , to ALWAYS Drop one leg back and have at LEAST One hand up to the face ..

[@menolastnameneeded1023]

that

[@menolastnameneeded1023]

thanks*

[@MertDenenEleman]

yup

[@FreakOfMindsProjects]

careful with full extension of arm. i would keep it a little bent. if your arm is fully extended, opponent could quickly simultaneously grab your wrist and open palm your elbow to hyper extend it thus breaking your arm. if someone does that to you but grabs your shirt you could do the same thing defensively. many people will grab your shirt for distance control, good for push pull (until your elbow is snapped :)...) always throat punch for emergencies (cuz it can kill someone)... no matter the muscle on someone their throat is just as weak I like the smiling idea

[@Listener113377]

wooah thiis is a tough one!! My survival instincts would go with the suggestion shane gave. To hit the person that is screaming and waving his fists against you as soon as he pushes his chest against your hand. But my moral tells me to wait for him to throw the first attack. But then it might be too late alredy.

[@JojoJuhbo]

Throw first. It's all about intent, if you tell someone that you don't want to fight and he insist on coming at you...LET HIM HAVE IT! Shit, you might save his life. One day when he might do it to someone who doesn't fight and would rather stab or shoot.

[@8814dw]

FortyCalCarter My Dad would tell me that too. I even kicked the daylights out of a girl in the locker room who was my bully for years. No matter how much I backed away and said I did not want to do this, she still threatened me. I only got ISS and she got 3 days out of school.

[@JojoJuhbo]

Christen Wolf Yup, my dad taught me that as well. Some people just wanna keep pushing and there comes a point when you gotta stand up for yourself and teach them a lesson.

[@outlawz1713]

Really

[@mikolaj2772]

I don't know what are your experiences in a street fight, but from what i know, when you put your hands up against agressive opponent and you behave very defensive this guy may become even more agressive and more confident. He might feel superior and attack you. I think it is the best to stay calm inside, but behave agressive against your enemy. That will not only build your own confidence but can also make enemy more scared (I hope you understand, Eng. is my 2nd)

[@rineeshpalliyal8006]

lol it okey

[@ryangolden3243]

I see why you might think that it is a common thought. But it is much easier to stay calm if you are not acting all aggressive and you also may be in legal trouble if it is not clear who the aggressor was. Calmly observing is the best bet and if you are non confrontational you may get out of fighting all together (the best outcome) and if an instance like you said happens, where they are still or more aggressive with violence then they were going to likely attack you either way

[@TheBraveLeaders]

Watching this video will be like " nah pffttt i can handle it i wont get nervous" but then you get into a fight and be like " holy shit it is scary"

[@LeoRamos77]

Hello Shane, excellent advice as usual. A little tip, even though I totally understand where you're coming from when you tell people to smile, I would only recommend it if you feel there's no way out of the given situation. Smiling too early might actually set the aggressor off. My 2 cents. Keep it up!

[@CaneFu]

I used to work as a bouncer and one night a mean drunk smashed a glass beer pitcher in my face; I was cut up everywhere and I spent the entire night in the hospital while a plastic surgeon sewed my face back together. Many years later I still wear those scars but the event changed something in me as after that I was never scared of taking a simple punch again. Once you've taken the worst and come out the other side you realize you can survive anything and the nervousness disappears. I wouldn't recommend going through what I did but looking back I wouldn't change what happened as the experience made me much stronger. My point is that if you get your ass kicked in a fight you can use that experience to bolster your confidence for the next time around because you've already taken hits and you know you will survive.

[@deckr]

This kid bully's me every and my friends and we are teaming up because he said he is gonna fight us all then we will light him up I will use all these tips and some natural instinct wish me luck

[@JojoJuhbo]

Hopefully you read this before you do that. Respect comes to the individual who stands up for himself and not to the one who asks all his friends to help him because he's to scared to defend himself. All you're going to do is make him look like a victim and you and your friends bullies. I'd have more respect for a person that lost a fight but stood up to a bully while losing instead of a person who ganged up on a person because he was scared.

[@Krazykirbyz]

be careful of ganging up on people, if he knows what hes doing a good hit down your chin and a stomp your jaw will get all your friends to back up LOL

[@SuperMikaelAngelo]

If he bullies you 1 on 1. Then you should fight him 1 on 1. That's street code mate. If you take him on as a group, you are asking for a group too beat you senseless. I don't make the rules, it's just how it is. Also beating him in a group just strengthens his belief that he's better than you. You need to de-moralize him. If he bullies you in a group, then come with a group and have a group-fight.

[@rishikeshnarayanan9924]

Hwdeckr you will be called a warrior only if you fight alone rather than fighting him as a gang. it is actually an other form of cowardice which indirectly conveys that you do not believe in yourself and that you need assistance and strength of a mass to handle the bully.when u feel like forming a gang remember,sheeps walk in herds but the tiger always hunt alone.

[@sammassey7947]

So...... Who won?

[@GrimGallantry]

If you are calm when a fight starts you literally have a lot of power, for example you are able to harness your adrenaline and use that feeling of slowed time to plan your strikes, If you can get the hang of this the fight becomes less chaotic and more of a dance, just be careful not to get addicted to it because at this point it can feel fun. Like they say fight to defend because bullies do suck.

[@victorbasiak3961]

Do not smile. Stay focused. Smiling during a fight either relaxes you too much or shows you're nervous or stressed. Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. Stay focused.

Range is everything, adrenaline control is everything X5. Great video.

[@LVen21]

Shane, thanks for these videos. They are great. Almost every fight I got into when I was your age, I got tunnel vision. I never knew this was a common reaction to the adrenaline rushing into your system. I thought it meant I was afraid and I hated it. I grew up near a bad area and had some friends from there. They literally fought every weekend. None mentioned ever having tunnel vision. My opinion is that they fought so much their system didn't react with the "flight or fight" syndrome. The only training I can think of that might help people deal with the adrenaline rush is mixed martial arts. Full contact, guy trying to beat the crap out of you. I practised karate for 3 years and quit after making brown belt. I quit because I got into a fight with a streeter fighter and totally forgot every move I had practised in the gym. It was the adrenaline rush. Same thing happened to one of our black belts, who had won many tournaments, all non-contact. Karate is better than nothing, but sport karate will get a persons ass beat if they walk around thinking they're Bruce Lee because they can punch air. Or break a board. "Boards don't hit back". Bruce Lee

Get into a situation that's even more intense so you build tolerance to it and find good coping mechanisms.

[@caranardone5579]

I was in the same situation last month at my job and it was absolutely horrible. (I work in a retirement community) One thing I recommend is to focus on your breathing. Even if your heart's racing. And then whatever happens, take care of yourself afterwardd and show yourself compassion 💜

I usually just fight with instinct. For some reason, no matter how much training you have, instinct almost always come on top. Unless you can control that. I haven't lost a fight yet. Not that I started them. Just go with your natural flow.

[@oModderxHD]

Yeah those feelings are adrenaline, sometimes triggered by a fear even if you know you can beat someone and you ain't scared, it's a natural emotion you can't get rid of that, I've managed to overcome it, when u start to feel it actually inside be calm and chill and actually laugh inside, may sound weird but it actually works, as you ain't thinking about what's going to happen u think positive and a different emotion kicks in where you feel calm and happy and chill even when something seems like it's going to kick off, or u can be an idiot and get hyped up and the adrenaline will take over and you'll feel like you can't fight your way out of a wet paper bag

[@DarkSky9919]

Just dont bro

[@snowbird29803]

I always find your clips helpful and entertaining. One tip I can offer is to consider how your response will be before shoulder bumps etc. happen. There's nothing wrong with merely saying "excuse me" no matter who is at fault. An idiot who is short-tempered sometimes is looking for an excuse for a fight. Saying excuse me will often short-circuit his excuse to escalate the little interaction and he'll go pick on someone else. There's no shame in demeaning yourself for a minute when you compare this to the unknown result of tangling with a stranger whose mental functions and physical prowess is unknown. Better to walk away unscathed than any other alternative. Of course, if that doesn't work, follow the advice given in this clip.

[@beefyb93]

From reading the comments there are either a lot of bullshitters or too many of you living like idiots. If you're a kid and getting into fights that's part of growing up. But if you're an adult and getting into fights; you're a criminal. Try maturing.

But then when I know I'm safe I feel sick, I get the tunnel vision and I start to shake.

[@Idrinkmilk2]

Should I take my shirt off during a street fight?

[@TheSirRainacorn]

No point as long as it isn't reducing your speed or flexibility if you can move just as well with it on i suggest it because you take time to do that and personally if your shirt is coming off when your eyes are covered I'm going to strike you in your chest area while your an easy target.

[@utubeskreename9516]

The smiling tip is genius, as studies show even forcing a smile promotes an emotional levelling response from the brain. Awesome.

[@punishedexistence]

I think the best way to alleviate a fight is to just not to get into one. Of course that's not always possible, but a fight is just as much psychological as it is physical. Guilt is a strong weapon to use on an opponent and possibly enough to either diffuse the situation or use it as a moment to strike. It's worked for me on both sides. I prefer not to fight if possible but if provoked I can say I'm pretty good at defending myself. I feel it's the same with others. Once that switch is tripped, it's all out war, and in love and war, there are no rules.

[@Rnav4712]

I like the hands up at the start of the confrontation, they are in a perfect position for the Muay Thai elbows in all directions to anywhere on the face especially the nose, when you are that close to someone, an elbow is easier and more devastating to throw and has more of a success rate for landing because it has a broader surface area for impact than a fist does. Plus with elbows you don't have as much risk of injury to yourself. I threw a punch at the back of someones head who was running away from me and because of my inaccuracy , ended up with two broken knuckles and a swollen hand. I think my biggest problem is not being able to hold back when I'm approached like that, I usually strike while they are still talking or at least I used to. After sitting in front of a DA and looking at the legal ramifications of those kinds of actions, especially now a days, I kind of think twice now. Still , if backed into a corner with nowhere to retreat, it's on. As long as I don't shove the nose into their skull, I may be justified in protecting myself. It is very easy to do major damage to someone when the elbows star flying toward a nose. Anyway, cool videos, very insightful.

Mine Tyson was even crying before the fights, he turned fear into absolute power. Believe it or not fear is energy and once you get control of it you become very lucid and aware. You might have been in that situation and you don't have to believe to energy and control of it. Fear is not your enemy but you have to learn to use it and accept it. Fear is natural and is the most powerful weapon, used to control the weak minds. The biggest part of the fight in a ring is actually happening in your head . Mike Tyson is a legend and I have immense respect for him. Obviously he was the greatest not only because of his control over fear and his state of mind but it was a very big part of it.

I think this is tge first video i watch from you besides the story time

[@KingKrish00]

the only way to stay calm sad to say, is to get more experience fighting... with the experience you are able to see things more clearly, react much faster and deal more damage than someone who rarely or never fought before... Its like giving a soldier advice before going into combat for the first few times but once they are in it, its a totally different story. I use to fight a lot as a child to my early adult years. I even seen people who train martial arts fold under the pressure in a street fight because they weren't use to the adrenaline rush.. My first fight I didn't react the way I wanted to resulting in me and my friends getting fucked up. But over time I got much better. Its hard to stay calm when a group of people with weapons are charging at you LOL I trained boxing/ karate/ kickboxing/ judo.. But at the end of the day its better to walk away if you have the chance

I once fight 5 bullies in my school and thank God they are going to hospital, to heal me of course.

[@SuperBartles]

I guess one trick is to wait till your opponent has expended his fury, and make sure you're angrier and ready to go. Wait for that moment.

[@bradbarfuss6472]

Exactly. I've stopped most fights by just having a high guard. Once they realize you're still capable of smart thinking they lose alot of anger

[@annunaki7364]

"love" your enemies.... as JC taught.. i think is 1 of the way to stay calm in a fight..

[@kevineduardomedellin3479]

This is the graetest chanel i've seen about these topics...Thanks a lot man, greetings from México :)

[@TimmyDahitman]

That hands up thing was a good tip

[@Aluzcz]

Great tip with the smiling! Also the go/no-go emergency decision trigger if he touches the palm of your forward hand, that's a great idea in the stress it can be very hard to decide if you want to throw the first punch do having this in your head will really help :)

[@SansySkeleton28]

i just got into a fight yesterday it's my first fight....and i cry..but idk how to stop it,,this really help me for my future fights with bullies..thx, and yeah bullies sucks!

[@snowy2619]

My arms feel like noodles when someone confronts me

[@HarryHoffman]

Great tip on smiling! I always do this when sparring so I don't get too tight.

[@AestheticcFreak]

Hey shane, when i fight with anyone i become scared and i feel like i will cry.. I try to not talk to anyone because if i did i will cry hard. Sometimes i try to smile after a fight but people'd know that it's fake plz help me!

[@Mr2tails]

You are questioning or validating your worth as your values in life are called into question due to the fight or violence. If the fight is over, it's over and just take it as part of your experience in life and don't fret over it. Live your life to your best of ability.

[@giovannifernandez4377]

YOU NEED THIS GUY BACK IN YOUR VIDEOS HES HILARIOUS HAHA

[@cloudsurfer-e8o]

I like these video creations where you guys act out the secenes

[@AdamJWM]

After the fight begins I become very calm. Almost Zen like.

[@CrayonCats]

very nice tips i hope your channel gets bigger you really deserve more views...

[@southerntiger3107]

I like your video's because you talk about the real-life situations in the street many teachers don't talk much about this subject. I wish more Martial Artists had your attitude; if someone gets into your face he just wants to create fear so you can't respond if he does something like: push, grab, point, hit or intimidate. Most likely he/she wants to hit you because the intimidating person wants to make a show to his friends. Someone who gets into your face wants to create fear is looking for a show and is just looking for an easy target, someone who cant fight back. Prisoners do this when they see new people going into the prison system. The only thing I can say is hit first by, headbutt him in the face, hit in the ear, throat, eyes, nose or bite if you can if hes attacking you before you pass-out if he's attacking you. As soon as the guy puts his hands on you, hit him and if you feel he's going to hit you first, hit him or run! If you ca try to talk your way out of the violent situation.

[@jfdesignsinc.innovationsid1583]

[@timcolvin2227]

I say reset, empty your mind, exhale a second, breath, now focus and pick your shots - Timothy Matthew Colvin Jr

[@brandonfunaro9364]

I think the best deterrent that ever happened midst almost a fight, is my mom telling three drunk dudes they really don’t want this, and warning them that they really don’t know what they’re getting themselves into, I myself if I heard that, would indeed run, which they did. They got stale faced and left, but ended up calling the cops even tho they were the drunk attackers😂

[@betherockfull]

good tips shane I will definitely use this if I ever need to

[@mr.dramalama3969]

ante is a class A actor

[@demblades2103]

Big step back little shuffle to the left while doing this you will see if the opponent is going to throw by then your in a perfect position to land a straight right

[@dacoutahcoleman3904]

Ive been learning as much hung gar as I can because I learned that it's for standing ground even though so far in my whole life I haven't fought anyone but now that I learned a move in hung gar I like to take a couple steps back quickly and get into position I make sure my legs are planted where I won't fall over, left hand in a fist facing up, other arm across my chest so I can block and if I need to, punch with the fist straight out and the arm across my chest will have my hand on my other upper arm, open and top of fingers facing the sky, and across my chest in a slash and a punch straight from my left lung, boom the assailant is on their ass. Also make sure you have them close as you need because you have to push through them to get them on the ground

[@maheshpatil2851]

Really nice video.i had a fight in morning and shaking alot.so here I am to see why tht so.and yeah I got perfect answer ..and yeah it's better to be calm in fighting .it's all flight fright flight adrenaline rush

[@durtyweeman1]

State clearly that you feel intimidated and if they come closer you will attack. They will try and call your bluff which helps increase the damage of your attack. Bas rutten does similar video.

[@someoneyoumayknow3013]

The first time I got into a fight I smiled

[@kevincastillo6496]

i have confidence in a 1 on 1 but where i live kids fight in groups so whenever someone messes with me i panic cux they are in group of 3 or 4 and if i fight they all start hitting at once..
