Always do this in a Street-fight!

Always try to de-escalate street fights at all costs. You might think that you can win the fight because you are bigger but you don't know what will happen and you can get hurt.

If you have no other options, What punch will you throw in a street fight? Let me know in the comments 👇

[@Raine00]

Roll under overhand + straight right This one's a real fight ender

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

Groin kick... double stomp- Master Ken style

[@likhobeme]

A cross to the solar plexus

[@November441]

Cross and left hook

[@dyyylllaannn]

The absolute best street fighting move of all time. The sparta kick Jokes aside if i'm sober prolly a roll under to a left hook to the body and assess the situation

[@whozyourdaddy]

I was waiting for the part where Tony says, "But if you can't de-escalate, this one punch is all you need."

[@McShankos]

He says a straight right (assuming your orthodox) is the best punch to throw in a fight

[@THE_Secular_Conservative]

Absolutely right. Quick story I am sitting at a bar watching college (American) football, enjoying a pint, and literally minding my own business. Guy comes and sits next to me. He begins to pester me, obviously trying to start something. I noticed the man was built, not huge, but much more muscular than me. I changed the subject to him to feed his ego. "Damn bro, where u work out"... Started asking for bicep building exercises. The whole tone of the encounter shifted. Eventually, he left me alone to my game. Not worth jail time or worse.

[@cheeriohos]

I may use that technique one day if needed. That was helpful. Thank you

Don't drink, don't do hard drugs, and don't hang out with drunks or druggies. Follow that advice, and you'll avoid about 90% of streetfight scenarios.

[@mtnbums2000]

At least 90% I’d say. I’ll take it a step further and say don’t go out at night in places that have the potential of getting rowdy. My wife and I love breakfast so we do breakfast or lunch dates all the time and it’s typically cheaper and way less crowded especially breakfast. Freaks come out at night!

[@mistergameplayer4000]

I've been to parties where everyone drinks, and I've been to parties where everyone does XTC, cocaine or speed. Believe me man, no one is looking for a brawl at the second party. The alcohol party though...

[@myblacklab7]

@@mistergameplayer4000 Yeah - alcohol may be the hardest drug on the planet. It's a testament to human stupidity that humans thought it was a good idea to try to ban drugs, and then chose not to ban the worst drug, after it was discovered that prohibition has serious unintended consequences.

[@woklam342]

and racisme😊😢

[@myblacklab7]

​@@mtnbums2000 I happen to be a night owl, so I've done a lot of work and play at night. Yeah, it can get sketchy at night, and some neighborhoods should be entirely avoided at night, but the darkness of the night is nothing compared to the darkness of drugs and alcohol. Of course, a lot of people do drugs and alcohol at night, so you aren't exactly wrong, but some of us don't do well trying to be day people.

"The BEST fights, are the ones we AVOID", quote by Jackie Chan. Excellent advice Tony! No matter what martial arts we're trained in, the best thing to do in a street fight is to Avoid/De-escalate it!

[@Italliving]

that is actually not from J.C. but from his sifu and he got it from his etc .. this as old as martial arts

[@toddhawk6611]

Brother, I was in prison for 10 years and I totally agree with you. We have options.

[@SPedneau]

Very true. I was a geeky long haired metal head in a small town highschool and what got bullies off my back was being assertive but don't escalate. I simply maintained eye contact and ask them what's the problem without cussing, name calling or any other insult. 9/10 times they back off and for the 1 time it gets physical and im dragged to the principals office, I'm off the hook. Now this is mid 90s highschool so I'm not making any guarantees this will work on the streets of today. However, I'll say you'd be amazed how far you go if you minded your own business.

[@fletchkeilman2205]

Thank you! Finally! A coach with experience that is talking common sense!

[@melberry7611]

You are so correct in your assessment. Notice thst an experienced trained fighter looks to de-escalate an altercation. There is nothing to prove, swallow your pride, be smart and calm. Street fighting is very dangerous!

[@mitchellvaldez9147]

And even if you win, you can still lose.

[@thehungarianbuilder]

I live in a relatively tame area, and there are far too many stories of someone squaring up in a fight and getting stabbed out of nowhere, and dying in seconds. In one video I could see the regret on the guy's face as his jugular spewed blood.

They know how far it can go, and ita never EVER good...plus its unproductive.

[@user-vu7tk3ck3q]

what kind of pussy advice you out here giving people mate? so every fight you encounter your just gonna run? you want to know the consequences of doing that repeatedly? EVERYONE is going to pick a fight with you because they know you’ll do absolutely nothing but run your just going to make your life worst lmao

​@@johngr1747 Exceptions prove the rule.

[@yorkiebilger7805]

​@@user-dv7hq2rh4g what if you literally cannot run away? There are many reasons; you have an injury, you are with an elderly loved one. What would you do then?

[@BoxerJoshua]

Bro this is Great advice 😊😊💯💯👍🥊 Street fighting is for losers

[@jimgardner5129]

Yup. Too easy for someone's head to hit the ground. Then you're looking at the possibility of paralysis or even death. And the one who walked away may be walking to jail. Happy to say I'm 60 years old and have never hit another person. I've been able to walk away every time. May have felt weak for doing it but did it anyway. Many of us may lead an angry life. I do. 24/7. Yet I still won't hit anyone. Was approached by 4 guys once when I was around 18. They'd come to the arcade looking for a fight with the punk crowd. I was outside the arcade and alone when they approached. Harassed me and I moved away from the wall. Not one of them landed a blow. I saw the guy to my far right lining up to deck me. I ducked and threw him over my back. He landed back-down on the car behind me. I then took that opportunity to bolt. They didn't follow but rather took their fight inside the arcade. Found out days later through a friend that the guy I flipped had fractured his shoulder blade. Maybe that taught him to stop being such an ass. One can only hope. Without even trying, I hurt someone. Gotta be careful.

[@MrSeeuu]

Great advice Tony. I have a 200 page book called; “How To Win Any Fight.” 199 pages in the book explain how to hire a good lawyer. LOL 😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@dr.ofdubiouswisdom4189]

I always tell friends even if you WIN - the fight is never over. If the other guy figures out *where you work. *where you live. * what you drive. * or where you hang out - it can go hot, even further. Totally agree.

Words of wisdom Coach! De-escalate the street fight

[@johnmurphy3818]

100 yrs ago I worked in a bar and I see one guy slipping punches that 2 guys were throwing at him. When I grabbed the 2 knuckleheads and told them they had started a fight with a pro boxer and they were lucky he didn't throw a punch they quickly apologized and bought him a drink and then left the bar. Thankfully the boxer was working like a matador and didn't hurt those 2. He was a very secure man.

[@william-uc2oy]

Avoidance. It’s easier than you think.

[@Steppenwolf27]

Thank you for finally saying that the best way to win a fight is to not get into one in the first place. Serious injury, jail, prison, unemployment... all of these are possible consequences of getting into a street fight. It's not worth it.

When the professionals advise you to just run away because that's what they would do, even if they have decades of training and experience, it's best to do what they say.

[@WandaGlodowski]

Finally a person with a brain. Thank you for your advice.

[@isj032]

You can get seriously hurt, you can unintentionally seriously hurt someone. If you re trying to de escalate you also have the advantage of being on the defensive and can counter, surprising your opponent if they persist with their aggression despite your apparent yielding.

[@MichaelBronkhorst-iw9zz]

I'm took on a job of cleaning out houses where people were evicted. Yes I clean out what is left, but I was hired mostly as protection. I'm somewhat big of a big guy, I played rugby and was a bouncer, but I still get scared in some situations. Not only do we have to watch out for angry tenants who were evicted, but squatters. I can hold my own, IF I HAVE TO. But I agree, if I can deescalate a situation, I try!

[@myblacklab7]

I hope you find a better job - it's really sad when people are thrown out on the street, especially when so many scummy people live like kings. And also, if you're dealing with someone who has nothing left to lose, you could be ten feet tall and made out of oak, and they still might end you.

[@larrycourtney8893]

Wish I'd known this when I was younger, but I was a hardhead. Best move is to move away from drama, just go somewhere else and and do something different. It truly isn't worth it, unless you just literally get attacked.

You’re my hero. Though you’re tough and a good fighter, you don’t want to hurt people or see them hurt. To have power in reserve is noble; to use it against others, barbaric.

I used to always make an effort to deescalate, but I've leaned the hardway, that sometimes they aren't going to allow that. Sometimes, they're trying to stall you so they can gang up on you.
