How would you defend against the common punch overhand in a street fight?

I actually started to box 2 years ago to lose weight. I started with rope jumping and then started to punch the bag for a while. Then I met a real boxer and he thought me how to do it right (because I was obviously doing it wrong by myself). He then invited me to his gym and I met his trainer. Now I'm always ready for a fight, but I'm scared I might hurt someone by punching him. The difference between 1 and a half years of amateur boxing vs a normal guy on the street is huge. I am now less likely to punch someone in the face (he might bump his head on the concrete and die).

I’d eventually like to learn boxing, at least enough to know how to defend myself in a street fight. I’m shorter so maybe Muay Thai so I can use elbows when I’m close distance.

[@kiraPh1234k]

@@cheesesteakphilly Hell, learn some from both. Boxing will teach you positions for more powerful punches, Muy Thai will teach you less powerful punches but more tools overall (particularly the stance that gives you quicker access to more weapons is why there is a tradeoff for punching power), especially picking up a couple good kicks lick the teep for control and another kick to deal some damage like a low leg kick. Then you will also get a feel for which one you want to pour practice into to hone those skills. A side note: sparring is important. Its not too hard to learn proper technique for a punch, but it is hard to learn to use that punch effectively as you must deal with defending yourself as well as timing your attack. This is one of the biggest reasons why it takes so long to learn to be an effective striker, as you have to pick up on the strategy of using the punch and not just knowing how to throw it. So when you do find the one you like, it will be very helpful to find a place or method to train with sparring.

[@mrsilver8517]

Lol, same. I lost 140 in 10 months, and worked every day. Started only being able to jog 30 seconds, and ended up raising it to over 13.5 miles by jogging every single day. increasing my time by 5 seconds per day at the start, and then by miles jogged as I started going longer distances. I hit the bag daily, lifted, etc. I put in an excruciating amount of work, and the only people who say stupid shit like 'they worry about hurting others' are people that I'm in no way afraid of fighting because they're making excuses to not fight. I've never met a real one who said that shit. I've met plenty of weak people who say 'they'll break their hand' if they hit someone without a glove on, or as you said 'I may hurt them'. Real ones aren't worried about telling others what they'd do in a fight, how intense it would be, or anything else, because they know. Fake ones tell everyone in hopes it never comes to a fight. If it took you 'training' to realize that someone could bump their head after you hit them, you're an idiot. I think you knew before training that it was a possibility, but now you're using it as a false equivalence of skill. Just calling you on your own weak mental. Spend half as long worrying about hurting others, more time worrying about how to improve.

My boys came in and got me, they were out of breath and terrified. I went outside and this bully was yelling and cursing and threatening me. One fast, stff jab to the chest and he had a second of shock, followed by a straight right that fractured his jaw and his left orbit. Just wanted to say thank you. I was pretty nervous but your training gave me something to bring to the table. The guy moved out two weeks later.

[@SoldierDrew]

I boxed from age four til my late 30s and being diagnosed with short term dementia from too many concussions I would never say boxing is good for mental health or mental well being. Children shouldn't be taking punches to the head before their brains are fully developed. I'm in my 40s and often can't remember my debit card pin number and forget I put food in the oven when the fog in my brain gets heavy. I began getting my bell rung from childhood into adulthood. I liked getting hit but never thought it'd catch up to me later in life. Brain injuries accumulate over time. I teach my little nephew boxing mechanics but I don't let him spar full contact. He doesn't need to get hit in the head to learn to take a punch. Adrenaline allows men to take punches when our defense fails. He can spar full contact after his brain fully develops. I don't want him like me.

Funny thing about the overhand right. First fight I ever got into was out of nowhere so I was scared and relying on instincts to defend myself. The dude just kept throwing the overhand right.

[@BiblicallyAccurateToaster]

Well done incorporating some good foundations into a very common street fight scenario. Like he said if one has good timing countering the right overhand (hopefully from actual training, it's worth it) you can often end it there or shock your attacker enough that you can work him over while he's tripping on his heels still trying to comprehend what happened. If anyone is a southpaw like me I HIGHLY recommend learning how to counter w/ the right hook. Once you practice enough & make it 2nd nature it's a 99% guaranteed knee noodler unless your attacker is well trained in a full contact martial art.

I've done MMA for 10 years and I think it is sometimes forgotten in a fight how devastating elbows and knees alike are. Even if someone is gonna throw a big right a elbow block thrown up would stop any critical hits and would allow you to rush in with a powerful forward elbow. Would devestate your opponents face and make them seriously reconsider the fight.

Good stuff! I think you're absolutely right about that huge, telegraphed swing most punks will use. Most of the time I think it's more of a overhand/hook hybrid (a haymaker I think?) where they whip it around like it's a hook but with a straight arm. In doing Jiu-Jitsu, they teach a defense to it where you slip the punch by ducking and then shooting in for a clinch, shoot a leg trip and hold him down in the mount. Of course, that's best when you're certain the guy's alone; if he's got buddies, keeping it standing like shown above is best way to go.

Assuming You have some skill boxing. Here is some tips: 1) put a tennis ball in a sock, tie a string to the end and hang it from the ceiling. Measure it so the ball hangs at the middle of your face. Swing the ball and move your head out of the way. Practice this so that as soon as the ball passes your head you throw your punches-repeat it until timing is perfect. Why? Visualize the ball is a fist. As soon as the “fist” passes your head, you know your opponent’s hand is not protecting their face. Use a camera to record and watch yourself. 2) Make a friend and get them to throw slaps at you, try to hit you with a pool noddle. Practice moving your head, body and feet together. 3) touch your face, get use to hands coming at your face. No one like being touched in the face. Learn how to get used to it and keep your eyes open. Open your eyes as wide as possible. 4) use reflex training tools online. And Practice Practice Practice until you don’t flinch, you don’t blink, and you are slipping punches from your friend at full speed. Don’t guarantee you will block or slip every punch but you will be more likely to block or slip punches. Because you have more experience and train the skill.

You will join your lefty cult soon enough...

[@JamariusPharrel]

My fav combo is the right jab left hook then a left uppercutt

[@JonHowardPhotos]

A lot of fights start with alcohol. As a bartender, I saw a lot of guys get an advantage by tossing their drinks in the other guy’s face. The reflexive blinking and surprise make you an easier target.

[@aplus1080]

That's why the best move is to swallow the drink instead of taking it on the eyes.

[@patkelly8309]

Nice one Tony, top man. What I've noticed over my years scrapping is that as soon as you get into any sort of combat stance the aggressor will nearly always start giving it the " Oh you think you know boxing/Karate etc ", giving you ample time to drop them if you choose to.

got much more than a tiny piece of value Tony, thank you!

Thanks lot dear teacher 😊 This street fight will make us stronger in boxing 💪 😤 🙌 👏 Your big interested from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 😉

"In general, the overhand right is the most common punch" Left handed boxers: Let us introduce ourselves

[@johnsonramond1553]

@@unelectedbureaucrat2003 Wrong, if you're facing a southpaw and you're orthodox in a bang/bang situation like Tony is saying in this vid, you DON'T work behind the traditional 1-2 as you just said. The southpaw killer is a lead right coming down the pipe. You picture yourself throwing it in between 2 walls, spring from the rear leg and that is the southpaw killer...not the left jab then cross as you said. You start messing with a 1 against a southpaw in a bang/bang streetfight and you'll get ICED by their angles and playing right in their hands (pun intended).

[@stixstrumentals8623]

Whenever you get into a street fight And somebody walks up on you like they wanna harm you always throw the 1st punch preferably a jab to stun them because they're not gonna know what's going on when they get stunned with a jab

[@nannesoar]

Or flail your arms around and make a camel noise, then they'll really have no clue what's going on

I just get my brother to throw punches at me. Overtime I just developed the skill to dodge or slip punches instinctively.

[@pulsefull7248]

Don't say that, your brothers punches don't have true painful intent and they are most likely sloppy and maybe he has a specific newbie pattern

[@joshmarden9933]

Ahh come on. My brother and I used to fight all the time, real punches, I put him in the hospital once. He started taking boxing lessons soon after. He's been boxing for 13 years now and could probably take me to the cleaners.

Great video. Appreciate the practical aspects you describe here. Most folks don’t discuss the footwork you showed here

Hey Tony! Big fan of the page! Do you have any drills or recommendations for getting used to taking hits during sparring? Thanks!

[@Ferie.e]

coach can u make the same video for seeing punches in the ring

[@barryallen-kn3vo]

lol when you look into the persons eyes bc you usually tell if their gonna punch i remembered a classmate of mine he had who got bullied mercilessly he took all of i though and never did anything back and his reason was "if their bullying me they wont bully anyone else". One day the group that usually bullies him was bullying another guy and he calmly walked up to them and asked them to stop the bullies laughed at him and then asked they would stop if he beat them in a fight. I still remember to this day that when the other guy was swinging (right overhand just like u said most commonly happens" he threw a cross that was so fast and clean that it literally slept the guy and made him crumple to the floor and he did all that with no emotion in his eyes. Then one by one picked the gang of 5 off until they were all on the floor bloody he ended up getting suspended for it but after that day the group of bullies literally kept to themselves until graduation. The kid was then the person ppl would run to when bullied and the bully either walked away or felt his knuckles against their face.

[@kr4awkr4aw5]

Thank you, Tony your videos are the best, you're a great teacher. You saved my life or at least saved me from getting beat up. I thank you from the bottom of my heart God bless you.

I like how this guy makes short and interesting videos instead of long and boring videos

[@ives3572]

The aggressor's body movements in a heated altercation is a big tell that a big lazy-ass punch is coming.

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Have you seen one mate?

[@ives3572]

@@Tony_Jeffries Yes, like when he's loading up or telegraphing his punch. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.

[@LeRainbow]

Amazing content. Through you I finally managed to learn how to throw a punch correctly. I was just tossing my arm and using the momentum to punch instead of actually using my hip‘s rotation as momentum and the muscles in my shoulder, back and arm to control speed, force and direction. The trick with the tennis ball is great however how would you train evading punches when you‘re solo? Thanks!

[@ericfroshnider3524]

Thank you for your instruction. There's a lot of knowledge your sharing on your videos With an accuraball ( goggles is safer) you dont need a partner throw the ball yourself and it will return in a straight line.For additional solo training to learn how to move from your reactions and train your eyes to see movement study flow arts Juggling ,Hoop,Poi, contact staff flowersticks ect.

[@MuhammadAli-ds5kt]

You are such a legend your videos really help me to become stronger mentally and in fighting as I I some one who has been a victim of bullying for a long time but now I'm ready to face those bullies when they target me

Yes Tony Jeffries well done making a million subscribers you deserve it, quality content always, top man 👊🏼

Mate just found your channel and you've already inspired me to get back on the training. Watching has brought back a thought pattern I had when I trained but got lost due to that 10ft tall bulletproof attitude and the booze girls and drugs club that surrounded me. I stopped that but became a shy reserved head bowed character Nice one fella keep them coming.

Sir Jeffrey this is the video I was request u finally make it, but it easier to read non fighter movement because they swing like crazy 😂, sir can u make the same video but against boxer instead of Street fighter thank u sir

[@cecilecorpuz5735]

I've been in my fair share of street fights, non of these fights was started by myself. For me its get it over with within 2 or 3 punches, First I'll size up who I'm fighting, is he a lefty or a righty then I'll take it from there, I'm a counter puncher so I'll always wait for the in coming punch then I'll respond quickly, weave, duck, then deliver my first punch mostly during rising from the ducked position, then deliver one to the gut, depending on the person who I'm fighting I'll put one to the back of his head as he's bending over from the gut shot, getting it over quickly is the best for me, the first time I did this was during class when I was in the 6th grade fighting a guy that was much bigger than myself, this was 1973. I saw this same guy many years later when he was with a motorcycle gang, he was with 2 other gang members, when seeing me he walked around me, I guess he didn't want to do the dance with me again. Sometimes I will not throw a single punch, I'll just wait for the in coming punch then duck in there real quick then go into animal mode get on him, wrap him up then body slam him into anything that is near by and it's all over. Fighting multiples, then it's an all out dog fight, but sometimes you don't have to throw to many punch's, use the wall next to you do some of the dirty work for you. 2018 fought 3 guys at once here in Holland, they had me out numbered so they thought they had me cold, the biggest guy was in the middle, to my left was a brick wall. The big guy in the middle was my first target, I kind of positioned myself so I could deliver the first blow, I put one right into his mid section right in the middle just under his breast, it was a quick forceful stinging shot, it knocked the wind out of him so he was out of the game, then the guy on the right side I grabbed him then I rammed him into the brick wall that was on the left side, then the guy on the left side made a run for it, I then chased him down and tackled him from the back side, grabbed him by the collar, wrapped him up with my other arm, gave him a BIG TIME heave ho and proceeded to plough him into the dirt field, it was all over within a minutes time and only one punch was thrown. 1978 I pulled a friend out of a fight, it was six on one, he was getting pounded and he was screaming for help, so I got in there real fast, as these guys were coming up to try to punch me, I just grabbed them by the collar so they couldn't move away gave that collar it good twist and lead them into my fist, within a minutes time it was all over, till this day I never got a thank you from him. During this fight 2 of my friends were trying to hold me back, I ended up punching them as well, one got a black eye and the other a fat lip. I also punched a teacher as well. One thing to remember, when in a street fight there are no rules, do anything and everything to survive. I'm the other half from Cecile.
