I have been in 0 fights as an adult. I've found most "street fights" can be avoided by simply staying off the streets. Don't hang out in places of mass intoxication like bars, nightclubs, etc. Be aware of your surroundings as much as possible, surround yourself with good people, and above all else just don't be a jerk. Manners seem to go a long way for me. Also, my capacity to ignore jerks helps a lot. I can't control what others do or say, only how I react to it. P.S. I love that thumbnail so much.

Bas Rutten's favorite saying is "You don't think I don't know how to poke you in the eyes? I bet I can do it better than you". He's exactly right, and any MMA fighter can do the illegal stuff better than a non MMA fighter because they are better at positioning, distancing, timing, and speed.

[@dusk6159]

And that's all obvious and apparently needed facts of course, street fighters aren't aliens (much less than that, just lesser and confused fighters) and much less all those human and normal and primordial techniques and moves, that will just help the competent and proper fighter (though he/she doesn't need any), add up to his arsenal, bringing stuff that he can normally counter and even just replicate better anyway and shorten the span of the fight considerably. Just like for the Ramsey vs Wong topic in particular, what no rules and overwhelming situation? The 40 year veteran fighter and coach would just spare himself and the spectators/his viewers the fleeble question on aggravating his injuries by freak stuff (Wong wouldn't touch even his fingers of course) because he would shut down the pretender even faster if he wanted and decided to tap into that, let alone Rutten or GSP or Tony Ferguson and all.

People don't realize how hard it is to land even a punch or kick on any part of the body much less pin point a 1 inch target. When I first started sparring, it was shocking how hard it was to land a punch or kick on any part of someone's body who doesn't want you to. It took practice and hard work to land strikes on people. If you can land a good jab, you have a chance at landing an eye poke. If you can reliably land leg kicks or teeps, you have a good chance of landing a groin kick.

[@Tigermaster1986]

I don't know if anyone's going to read this, but I just need to write it. About a decade ago a friend of mine, a brown belt in Aikido, got in problems with the police, after he used his skills in the art to defend himself from a knife attack. I don't remember the details - it was a long time ago - but, IIRC, he saw the shining blade, reacted instinctively and applied a kotegaeshi lock on the attacker's wrist and injured him rather badly. Then there was some talk about pressing charges against my friend, although in the end he got away with it. However keep this in mind - if you beat the feces out of someone and word gets out that you're a trained martial artist, you may end up in trouble - purely legally - because of this. Sadly, a lot of people, including judges and prosecutors, still get their knowledge on martial arts from movies where you see someone like Steven Seagal beating 567 people in one fight scene. Keep this in mind. When you're practicing a martial art, you're not practicing self defense, even if there is some overlapping. Your Aikido instructor is not obliged to disclose to you the legality of bashing someone's head with a wooden sword or applying a dangerous wrist lock on someone who doesn't know how to do a proper breakfall. Your MMA instructor is not obliged to disclose to you the legality of ground and pound in a bar fight. And so on. Another story. A bar fight, maybe a bit more than a decade ago. I wasn't there, so... An acquaintance of mine with some experience in Jiu-Jitsu or something like that tries pulling guard... and succeeds. He lands, back first, on a broken bottle. You can imagine the result. So... Although any martial art can be applicable to a self defense situation, again, you're not studying self defense. Guard pulling may be a great strategy for winning a BJJ competition and it may even be helpful in a bar fight, but I'm not sure you're supposed to use it, when you don't know what you'll land on or how many people you'll have to deal with... What if you did it successfully and some of your opponent's friends came and stomped your head? And what if you did it successfully, but then your opponent pulled a knife out of his rear orifice and stabbed you with it? Again, it's not the art that's at fault here, it's the way it was used. Another story. At least a decade and a half ago. I was still in high school, I had no training whatsoever, other than what I'd seen in maybe a hundred martial arts movies. (My classmates used to call me a Shaolin Master because of my interest in this genre.) So... Someone pressed a knife at my throat. I don't even know why, he just did that and started yelling something that I don't even remember at my face. I defended myself by doing exactly the most idiotic thing you could think of - I grabbed the knife by the blade and yanked it out of that moron's hand. He was so startled that he actually let go. Now, obviously, I wouldn't recommend this. I just lucked out and I know that. But... Self defense situations are often unpredictable. You don't know what will happen and what will save you. Maybe kotegaeshi will help you. Maybe pulling guard will help you. Maybe acting like a complete idiot will help you. Or maybe it will not. Or maybe you will freeze, regardless of your training.

That's a grim take on martial arts Ramsey haha. I got beat up a lot but the thing that helped me the most was positioning myself in ways that the blows wouldn't hurt me. That's the solution martial arts gave me. I didn't let a part of me die. Violence was already part of my routine. Part of me, if you will. Going to the gym just surrounded me with people who understood it better than me (Which helped 10yo me a lot). Realizing that glancing blows didn't really hurt when compared to precise ones changed my life

[@iggpopmancrush]

As usual, Coach, you make a great deal of common sense. My personal self-defense style, Avoido, is useless for MMA, true, but works very well for self-defense. It's more about UNlearning automatic responses--like getting angry enough to physically attack someone just because they spoke inciting words to you--"Fightin' Words", as they call them in the Southern United States where I was raised. But I live in Canada now, and am fairly certain that if I hit a man simply for using an Anti-Semitic slur on me, I'd be charged with assault. Walk away if you can; you have nothing to prove.

[@MrHFam-st4ni]

For the few schoolyards fights I've been in, I've noticed it can actually end up either similar to a 'consential match' and sometimes not. Usually, if someone starts pounding their chest and trying to intimidate you... use the techniques that you learn for MMA or boxing or whatever... but if they jump you and ambush you.... usually doesn't work if you do not train for clinching. Training your clinch is very helpful for when ppl jump you since they usually try and get very close and hit you or suplex you. From that clinch, learning throws and strikes within the clinch usually helps. This is what I'm saying after I have both done sparring and been jumped. Now the thing that sports combat dudes don't usually think about are groin kicks and eye attacks. Now eye attacks are a whole different story, best bet is don't let them do the strike or if you can't, just close your eyes. For groin kicks, try and make sure you keep your stance not -straight. Always have your stance angled a bit, I personally use around 45 degrees or more which allows you to keep distance between your groin and the opponent and have enough time to defend if they try and attack it. Anyway, that's what I've been doing, feel free to disagree and discuss.

[@555mimas555]

Ramsey, intendedly or not, you grasped an interesting case - a kano paradox. What kano paradox is telling us is that techniques that are in theory not lethal/permanently crippling are more effective than lethal/permanently cripling ones. It's because you can't practice for example an eye poke with you sparring partner because to practice it effectively you would make him blind, ergo you'll never be proficient in using any lethal/permanently crippling technique because you can't practice it. Meanwhile a hook or leg kick could be practiced for hundreds, or even thousands of times not injuring significantly your sparring partner, thus getting overwhelming proficiency in it. It always makes me laugh when I hear some "street fighter guy" trying to explain that "on da streetz" there are no rules, so he can beat up any UFC fighter by just kicking him in the balls and biting his nose or whatever bullshit like that. If he try that, he would get reality checked by kano paradox. And by the way, more or less kano paradox is discussed by Joe Rogan and Bas Rutten in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZXCoHWaaql4hM0 Hilarious!

There are to many variables and awareness and avoidance is the best bet.

The reflexes to avoid getting hurt by a guy trying to hurt you in the ring in MMA are the same reflexes to avoid getting hurt by a guy trying to hurt you on the street. Any fighting training teaches you how to confront and overpower an opponent. Parkour or track running teaches you how to deal with the opponents you have no chance of overpowering (if you don't learn a combat technique, this is probably all of them). I personally think that if you have to choose *ONE* self defense class and only one, you should learn parkour. But if you can, take a martial arts class too.

It does work if your a fast runner. Remember when I was 8 these older kids tried to hurt me I outran every single one of them.

[@atomicradiotheater]

I used to tell everyone the best self defense is running shoes and cardio.

[@nathansergent7842]

Poignant and well articulated as ever. It's a fact we see regularly. Those who are the best at what they do, have often suffered immensely, directly or indirectly, on their path to where they are.

The only rules of the streets is to win. By any means necessary. Unless the fight is organized and in that case usually hands get thrown and hands get shaken afterwards. It's a code from prison that went back to the streets...

[@eclecticcerebro8287]

Excellent points... when I have kids ask me about how to fight because they want to, I ALWAYS tell them, “if you want to fight you have to understand something. You WILL eventually get hurt so, imagine how badly you can hurt someone, then imagine someone hurting you even more.. can you accept that? If not, don’t fight”. I’ve been out in the hospital before and recieved 7 or 8 staples in my head so I show them that scar, to imbed how serious fighting is... it’s not glamorous and it’s not a game. It should only be for defense. Ofcourse it feels good to win but there’s always someone out their who can beat you... Nobody is the perfect warrior and even if you are a high level fighter, you can still run into people who don’t have honor and will just use an object on you... defusing fights is the key.. fighting is the absolute last resort.

The best street defense you can get are those who know the streets.

[@enricoabrahams5061]

When you were talking about the inside leg kick and the groin kick I was reminded of Rico Verhoeven from Glory Kickboxing, who has a weird ability to inside leg kick the BACK leg....he's the only kickboxer I've ever seen do it regularly, or even at all

[@misterdoodle3447]

I have actually used an eye gouge in a self defense scenario, but I also grew up in violent home and was beat up by people much bigger and stronger than me on multiple occasions. I wasn't able to do that because I had spent time in the gym practicing it, but because I had the presence of mind, while a big strong man was choking me inside of a club, to see an opening and exploit it. I had never practiced eye pokes, but I had definitely practiced getting a bigger stronger men to stop choking me and I had already experienced real violence in my childhood. That said, I totally agree, getting abused as a kid is a great way to learn how to take a beating, but it isn't worth it, and if you live your life right, you can very much minimize the chance of something like that happening. I was a bouncer, so I really was putting myself in a position that risked such encounters. Also, trust me, it is very disturbing to know what shoving your finger in another mans eye ball feels like, and you'd much rather just never have to do it.

[@crustyjuggler382]

I’ve eye poked before and I can confirm this, I have occasional nightmares of the feeling

[@TheLyingFigure]

Ramsey you can practice groin kicks if you are working combos on a heavy bag just adjust the height so that the base of the bag is groin height and itll also be the hardest part of the bag so youll get use to the guy having a cup on or if your attacker really likes you.

[@angelmirchev8433]

Honestly i think most dangerous situations can be avoided. I've lived in some of the most dangerous areas in London and outside 1 scuffle, because I was stupid I've never been attacked or hurt. I've had people trying to start crap, but I chose not to take the bait, because I knew its not worth it. Besides if it does come to blows from what I've seen a well placed jab cross combo is usually as good as anything.

[@londiniumarmoury7037]

Not the same experience i've had living in London for 35 years (North west and East London) A jab cross combo works fine against a drunk in a pub or an unnarmed weakling, doesn't work to well against people trying to stab you in a block of flats stairway, or against home invaders armed with machetes, when you are cooking dinner with your pregnant girlfriend in your dressing gown. Those are real examples that happened to me.

[@angelmirchev8433]

@@londiniumarmoury7037 I agree probably not, but in those situations I can't think of much that would work. I was actually thinking more of a drunk idiot kind of situation. I've never beefed with someone to a point where they try to murder me, but that's, because I'm not too confrontational. Not saying you are maybe you just have terrible luck, but if you've found yourself in situations that extreme you are the common factor. I don't know if you did something to provoke them or if you were just really unlucky

[@londiniumarmoury7037]

@@angelmirchev8433 Yeah the drunk idiot situation it would usually work, seeing as most drunk guys looking for a fight square up to you in a stupid way, with their arms out like they are about to give you a hug lol. A quick 1-2 will take them by surprise most of the time. I didn't start anything, I tend to never instigate situations, but i'm honestly not the most passive person in the world. I might have been a little Crocodile Dundee at times when I could have tried to defuse the situation or ran away. But the home invasion I was really left with no other choice, I couldn't just leave her there by herself while I escape out the back door. I had to fight a GBH trial at Snaresbrook crown court for that as well.

Self defense is a legal term. That’s genius. I’ve never heard that before in the martial arts community

[@RamseyDewey]

Martial arts communities are often made of up fear mongering salesmen who know very little about the law, and even less about martial arts.

[@garystevenson6582]

Very True. I work with a bunch of guys who think they can use a gun against an unarmed attacker if they just repeat the magic words I was in fear for my life. I laugh & tell them to click their hills & repeat the phrase when standing before a jury or judge. You need to make a T shirt that says Self Defense is a legal term followed by a funny tag line. I can’t believe I’ve never heard that. The most simplistic ideas are always the most genius. Thanks Coach Dewey. I wish I could find a coach like you near me. Maybe it’s all the years you’ve lived in Asia that gives you such a Zen like spirit. You really think about what your saying & drop jewels I keep scrambling to pick up. 🙏🏻

[@adamwingate5321]

I would say that it would have to depend on the situation on what you would be willing to give up if you can't make a quick decision then I don't know but if you have a few seconds to make that decision and the mental capacity to do so at the moment definitely people should do so it may save your life to take a quick assessment and decide what you need to do.

[@kaylsomogyi3475]

I'm from South Africa and I grew up going threw many instances of violence. Most self defense there is awareness, we understand what the criminals are thinking and why so we can adjust. If your getting attacked and you can't run, your not going to have control of the situation. Even if you are VERY well prepared criminals can still have the element of surprise. Self defense tip everyone learns in south africa is a whip beats all handheld weapons, a short whip with range will cut them so fast the only human that can get in the pocket of that thing is someone on all the drugs they could have found.
