Techniques best kept for a STREET Fight VS the Cage

A hipthrow is clever when someones headlocks you then you can get his back and finish him

[@tokenstandpoint93]

I disagree with the calf kick. You rarely fight just one person in a street fight and you don't want someone down on the ground right in front of you because they can still trip or imbalance you in a way for others to attack you. Teeps can be utilized in a variety of ways safely for you to cause distance for better escape openings. At least from my experience

If you want to be able to apply these techniques, I highlt recommend joining an MMA gym. Videos on youtube, especially videos like Jeff's, are super helpful for giving you things to experiment with during training in the gym, but without the latter existing, you wont be able to apply them. It usually takes me about 5-10 attempts before I manage to do some of the things Jeff shows in his videos.

Do not stand back up right away if you got push down to the ground in a fight. When you try to stand up after you fall, you will expose your back, that leads to all sort of problems. Use your leg to create distance to the attacker, up kick him if he try to get close and slowly standing up while moving backward. Better learn some BJJ if you want to learn more about this situation

[@kevincochran7575]

Awesome video. Thank you! My two cents: in MMA, I would recommend people should train in Boxing, Muay Thai, Jits, and Wrestling (or good alternatives like Sambo, etc) . For "street" self defense, I think I would focus more on boxing and wrestling. I say that partly for the offensive capabilities, but more so for the defensive capabilities. Boxers can throw a good punch, sure. But a good boxer is REALLY hard to hit. A wrestler can take someone to the ground, sure. But a good wrestler is REALLY hard to take down. For a street scenario, if you can avoid taking any damaging punches and can avoid getting taken down, that's absolutely more than half the battle.

I love how Jeff lays out street fighting vs training. I trained in Muay Thai & Kickboxing but I was always curious what could get you into trouble in a street fight.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching!

[@charliezelenowski2701]

I have made it out of plenty of situations where I was outnumbered in a street fight. One of the biggest tips I can give is to constantly move. Make sure you are being peripheral about the space you are moving into, I have trapped myself into a worse position before and learned the hard way. Something that always worked for me when outnumbered and being rushed was to hit the guy in my peripheral (not the one my attention appears to be on) it really does work. Here's why, as you change position to hit the second guy you will often inadvertently be moving off centre from the first guy... it's accidentally defensive as well as something people don't predict. Honestly footwork is the most important thing in a street fight though... no point being a killer if you trip over the curb. Even if you can hit hard, if you're in a bad position to be risking throwing a punch you're gonna get blind sided by their friends.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for sharing!

[@reverbautopsy9093]

Wholeheartedly agreed. Footwork more than anything else is the most important thing I've ever learned in martial arts. My asskickings during sparring plummeted as soon as I figured out proper footwork. For the streets, I'd add boxing defense on top of that. So many KO's happen because people don't move and don't keep their hands up, use head movement, pivot or fade back. Also a lot of martial artists don't want to hear this: Streetfighting =/= your martial art. The no rules aspect of streetfighting changes everything and you're not as prepared as you think you are for real combat with untrained maniacs.

[@ZenDragonYoutubeChannel]

I LOVE doing fancy kicks in sparring, even the few times I fought full contact I've done them, but I fully agree with your points on primarily boxing as it allows you to keep both feet plantet so you're able to move, ultimately that's the goal to get away, and if another attacker presents him self you wanna be able to angle off. My experience with more self defense focused sparring validates this, also when the ground is concrete, it has more consequence going to the ground if you slip or get swept. One thing to note is that it makes sense to try and adapt the boxing for similar mechanics but with palmstrikes instead, so you don't break your hand, which you might need to trap or weapon, or just to be able to continually punch without further hurting the hand.

Great topic, I would also like to share my experience. A lot of Jeff’s principles are sound and have used them too. I got into a street fight about 4 years ago while playing football/soccer in London. We both got into an argument, I don’t even remember what I was about anymore. During this time, I’ve been training full time in Muay Thai for about a year with 13 amateur fights. We both stepped off the pitch, he immediately put his hands up (but I don’t think he was trained). Instinctively I threw a fake jab into a rear low kick, followed by a lead upper cut into a straight cross which connected with his nose. He scrambled and tied me up but I managed to get him into a double clinch. I dropped my weight into a lunge loading a knee but suddenly the whole team came out to break us up. I was it worth it? No, I had blood all over my new top (a gift from a friend) with the collar all ripped up safe to say it was a waste of money. Every time I saw the guy I was afraid of retribution, very awkward. But what I would say is whatever your discipline is practice until you can use it Instinctive and end the fight as quick as possible and just trust yourself.

Dont ever go for a complicated submission when in a street fight. It's not even a matter of multiple opponents. Lets say you got the guy in a basic armbar and he decides to pull out a knife with his other hand cause realises that he is losing. He can easily slash you femoral artery even when you break his other arm. Ground and pound keeps both hands of the opponent busy. We did this knife drill at my gym and the results were quite shocking, how many times you can get sliced before you can disengage an armbar/leglock

Ooh fascinating topic. Well I train Muay thai, so believe it's good to have strategies against agressive, bigger opponents and those who rush forward with punches. Learning detailed frameworks for defeating all types of fighters has been huge part of improving my game. In terms of techniques to use, I believe if there is a square up to punch first using a fast multiple punch combo that has been trained to be instinctual as it is simple and can usually end the fight. I also believe learning how to throw all techniques with perfect form is pivotal. Teeps can be very good as they are harder to catch but people will try so can set up punches and elbows and stops agressive opponents when thrown properly. I also believe leg kicks can do alot of damage and be scary to someone untrained. When sparring my untrained friend, I was also able to use foots sweeps as he came forward which can enable you to get on top or put them on the retreat. Hope you enjoyed my insight👍

Thanks Jeff to your videos, they are always great and very helpful, I’ve improved a lot in these two years with your videos, recently I was confronted by someone for looking at their car(what a stupid thing) he came up to me and said why am I looking at his car or him that long. Even tho I have hours and hours of sparring, 4 amateur fights and confident about my skills, I was able to avoid conflict even tho he was trying to initiate a fight. Conclusion is, avoid fighting at all cost, especially if you have skills. Yes there can be situations where you’re right and the other person wrong, but there is no shame in avoiding the conflict and simply running away if you’re alone. We learn MMA to improve, to meet new people and release our energy to become a good person outside of the gym. Thank you Jeff again

[@MMAShredded]

100% bro im glad you were able to avoid that conflict! respect bro!

[@NeemaF]

Thank you for sharing this type of video, Jeff. Love how you tempered the expectations that while you aren't an expert in the self-defense realm you still have loads of fighting experience and are willing to give your assessment on the subject matter. Respect. As someone that's trained and taught self-defense (krav maga, specifically) the past 5 years and with 10+ years fighting experience (Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ), here are some insights to also consider. Overall, this video has some really good advice/insights and sound judgment behind it. One of the things I really enjoy most about Jeff's assessment throughout the video is how he mentions a different flooring (ie concrete) and potential multiple attackers. Another thing to consider is you're going to be in street clothes. Next time you train, try doing it in street clothes as this will have a much different feel to it. Another thing to consider, as Jeff mentions, with regards to your opponent is they'll be emotional, angry, violent, etc. Keep in mind they're more than likely going to have quite a bit of a size advantage on you so some of the takedowns and sweeps will be difficult to do. Definitely agree to keep it to hands/boxing. When it comes to kicks, stick to more linear kicks such as front kick aiming for the groin or push kick to create space. There's also the knees you can aim for along with the groin and solar plexus/abdominal region as these are more sensitive areas from the front. Jeff mentions using the push kick as a way to create space later on in the video. When it comes to multiple attackers, don't be in the middle. Attack one, use them as a shield if you can and keep the attackers in a line to make it difficult for them to attack you. Jeff did a really good job of circling around his multiple attackers and constantly moving. This is exactly what you want to do. With the Muay Thai clinch, you also have elbows you can throw from that distance. One thing to note is if you're that close to your opponent, they're that close to you so make sure you protect yourself. Overall, pretty solid assessment and really liked how Jeff used his experience in fighting when assessing whether to do one type of an attack versus the other (or both) and gave the pro and con of each. Great work.

[@MMAShredded]

chheers

[@sammyli9456]

Owing to my real street fight experience (a few of, by accident), I can confirm the correctness of your notion 🙏👉"You need explosive power, core strength and stamina "👈 - It is the most important element of having you survive from the crisis. You do not have time to think. You do not have chance to disengage when you are deciding to fight like that unless the attacker quits it or becomes disabled. - There can be no separation during the street fight; where we have only one time to attack or counterattack and we become part of a dog-like-fight afterwards. - Kicking whether calf kick or head kick can be done once or twice before becoming the dog-like-fight. *** The real street fight goes beyond imagination and it very much depends on several factors e.g. your opponent's size, his fighting behavior, his stamina etc. *** So, if we do not have chance to run away from a street fight; we have to fight like a killer. It is the only way we can survive.

Best realistic, instructional and profesional (for a lack of a better word) video about street fighting. But I sense a little of backlash from bbj players coming. About the running sweep.

There are situations however, where the person who is the threat really intends to do harm to someone, for whatever personal reason (perhaps that person lost his job, lost his wife, is just frustrated and angry with the world, etc.) My personal take is, if he's posturing and cursing, but there's physical distance, and he hasn't come into your personal space, you have a good chance of successfully descalating and walking away. (Plus, it's also riskier for you to engage, because he has the distance to draw a weapon.) So in that situation, I agree with those comments. But, if he's already in your personal space, he's already committed to hurting you. At that point, in my opinion, I don't think you have much choice but to fight. (And I say that as someone who hates street fights.) Once he's already committed to inflicting harm, all the descalation techniques you know are not going to dissuade him. Your best chance of survival, in that situation (and no, this isn't about pride), is to attack. And plus, if he has not drawn a weapon (yet), it might be your only chance of coming out of it alive. The techniques Jeff presents here definitely should be practiced, both for sparring (a must, of course), and for drills that simulate that emotional content that leads up to a street fight. (You'll probably have to have your training partner simulate the posturing, the getting in your face, the loud cursing and screaming, and the shoving that usually begins such encounters. Those are conditions that usually are not included in sparring.) Thank you again, Jeff.🙏 * The takedown that you do at the end is brilliant. Digging the tutorial that you did on it in another video.

oss thanks for your perspective :)

5:37 those ground and pound shots to the body are MONEY!

[@MMAShredded]

Cheers!

[@jo568]

I really love this STREET fight video. Very VERY! Insightful information and good points about a street scenario.

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!

[@cabalofdemons]

Great tutorial. I think BJJ/grappling works well for a 1 on 1 street fight. However, when it's 2+ on 1, Judo and striking are essential. You want to have a wide range of vision when dealing with multiple attackers. Of course, the best martial art is track and field.

[@MMAShredded]

yeah 100%!

[@pepehorhae]

I am actually getting back into training again boss. I passed the bar and in practice for 2 years and I am out of shape. I have more losing cases than winning ones as a public defender and threats are now prevalent more since more unfavorable judgments are being unloaded recently. Seeing my clients eye me and wait for me after office hours, I am switching fron my previous Muay Thai training to MMA based. I am a small dude (pacific islander, filipino, 5'2) and gained alot which slowed me down alot as well. Other than firearms training, Thanks for this video since this is what I was looking for recently. I hope I can avoid fights and if needed and unarmed, i could kick ass in formal attire on my feet like you. Thanks for the inspiration Boss Jeff 🤙

[@MMAShredded]

no prob! congrats on the bar passing!!!!! keep it up!

[@pk7549]

Dude that running sweep looks sweet! In addition, could you cover the type of punches to throw, best for a street fight?

[@zenarc2588]

Thanks for this coach. Train mma but always think street 😎 and YES, PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO SCRAMBLE BACK UP WHEN TAKEN DOWN! 😄🙏

[@MMAShredded]

I will def do that!! thanks man!

[@notvisible3754]

REALLY interested in a standing back up tutorial!! Thanks, Jeff.

[@MMAShredded]

will def make one!!

[@SkizVids]

the best thing to do to stop a street fight, is if your opponent gets you with a good punch, tell them to hold up, and start coaching them on their technique

[@MMAShredded]

LOL

[@yongliang7757]

I think it would be foolish for anyone to pick a street fight with you, Jeff. Your skills are so well-rounded that you can get out of any situation. I prefer elbow/knee strikes and low-kick/sweep combinations to create an opportunity to run away.

[@MMAShredded]

true! thanks for watching man! and it all depends, so many factors. I know I wouldn't want to get into a street fight!

[@MrRaylith]

Nice overview, lots of good points. I would also add to keep in mind the laws of your contry, since some countries can have ridiculous laws, that could make you (the defender) face legal consequences if you injure the attacker too much. That's ridiculious, I know - but it is what it is. Keep that in mind with some of the techniques.

[@MMAShredded]

true!!! thanks for watching!

[@AppliedShotokan]

This is gold. Lots of great insights here. Thanks for posting.

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!

[@thomasmosby9150]

This was an awesome video Jeff. Great stuff

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!

[@realitycheckselfdefence7840]

I LOVE this! I think this goes to show that if you practice combat sports you can easily make a few "tweaks" to your mindset to become effective at defending yourself outside of the gym.

[@MMAShredded]

100%! thanks for watching!

[@zippo_muk9254]

*Street Fights Tips:* 1. Stay loose (esp. at a distance) and jab the nose and chin. Let them use up their energy. 2. If close, shell up with a high cross guard and block their punches with the elbows. The average person won’t be hitting the body or breaking a cross guard (which is better imo because you don’t have gloves to block the shots) and will likely be throwing haymakers - easy to break their hands on your pointed elbows or hurt their forearms and wrists. 3. Step off line and smack the liver, and keep moving. 4. Don’t tense up unless you’re defending and they’re close. 5. Distance: jabs and Low leg kicks 6. Close: elbows and inside trips.

[@zeuz69pt]

Excellent analysis of street fight versus the cage. I've been training Krav Maga for some time and all the subjects covered in this explanation of techniques to use in a street fight, are trained extensively. Avoid grapplig, submission, more boxing and low kicks, as well as the defensive kick to the belly in order to create distance and if possible cause damage reaching the solar plexus and always remember that in a street fight, there are no rules, no referees and most sometimes it's not one on one. In the last technique, I believe that if the opponent does not have the best stance, it is possible to use it, however he may have a tendency to grab the neck if it is not well executed, taking us to the ground.

[@MMAShredded]

Thank you!

[@rafaelnunes3628]

This is gold! Great stuff, Jeff. The only thing I'd add is that in the clinch, one of the most effective ways off finishing the fight would be to use elbows and headbutts. Kind like in Lethwei.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks bro! I can agree about the elbows but no head butts for me! haha

[@Pwasercan]

fantastic video!! it's great to have a pro's view of risk vs reward in a street fighting environment. Thanks!!

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching!

[@blockmasterscott]

9:27 Most definitely it would work. It's a really simple take down. We use it all the time in Chen Tai Chi, it's actually a basic move. The reason I say it would work is because you have a lower center of gravity, while untrained people do not. Also, a trained fighter has experience with timing, and looking for an opening. So yes, you can use it on the outside.

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!

[@JoelBrage]

Yes please talk more about judo techniques. It is not as often covered and would be very interesting. Great Content!

[@MMAShredded]

Thanks! I made the judo video already!

[@JoelBrage]

@@MMAShredded I must have missed it. I will have a look. Thanks!

[@thebaneking4787]

1 person had a good idea about Judo throws. I would love to see all Muay Thai throws and sweeps. Love your stuff Jeff. Aung la N Sang was a training partner for years.

[@MMAShredded]

thank you bro! and that's awesome man he's such a beast!

[@theboltthrower8661]

Awesome, never knew what were your thoughts on self defense. Keep it going beast!!

[@MMAShredded]

thanks brother :)

[@edi9892]

Submissions have their place in a street fight. If it's 1v1 and you either don't want to apply excessive force, or if a weapon is involved. BTW, oblique kick, legsweeps, head grabs... seem sensible as well.

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!

[@brianirungu5264]

hey Jeff, Awesome content. From the 254, where grappling is only trained to the disciplined forces, it is more than a blessing to find this resource as a civilian martial artist. Kindly make a video on how to get back up from bottom guard. Oss!

[@MMAShredded]

definitely bro :)

[@grapplerart6331]

2:06 The perfectly cut scream is just 👌

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!!!

[@chillwithj9102]

Super informative. Subbed. Love all the street fight mimicking experiment.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for the support!!
