When it comes to self-defense in close quarters, you want to finish the fight fast, using the strongest possible strikes. If you do it properly, you will be able to overpower your opponent quickly and effectively. Nick talks about 5 of his favorite strikes: Subscribe to my channel : / @nickdrossos .
5. Headbutt - perfect for a surprise attack, very quick and painful for the opponent.
4. Hammer fist - unexpected and devastating, very powerful even if you use small range of motion.
3. Elbowing - up-close and personal, as well as very fast. Small striking surface is perfect for power.
2. Double-palm strike - can be used to gain distance and even knock your attacker out completely.
1. Knee strike - very painful and very damaging, but can be blocked easily. Use with caution.

[@MrMetsakurat]

PJ Rivera Still not self defense. I work security myself. I, we, don't strike before anyone is trying to strike you first. You see he is going to hit and you prevent it and take him down but he is still trying to make the first move. These won't work in self defense is what i was saying and i stand by it.

i agree for defending yourself, beating the shit out of someone you dislike... those kind of situations.

[@UltimaPowers]

Never start a conversation with this guy as he will attack you in the middle of it!

[@tom84kiwi]

In fact all the 5 techniques consider that you are the first on ho hits, so you self would be the aggressor! Ok I`m sure that you can use them also when someone attacs you, but in the way he explains them he clearly use them against someone who only talks ;-)

[@PlatinNr1]

[@Gamma1227]

I know the argument is a bit old by now, but to all the people saying he is the attacker in this situation, think for moment.. Someone trying to square up, he's angry, he's yelling, his body language clearly indicates a pissed off, ready to fight kind of mood. Now go watch a couple of "one hit knockout" videos, and tell me the one thing that's always related between those videos. One guy always swings first with a sucker punch, whether its the aggressor or not. It doesn't matter if it's on the street, If you feel threatened, if you feel like there is going to be an altercation or especially a fight, by all means, finish the fight before it starts. Your own safety is top priority. Once someone is trying to instigate a fight, it's no longer a question of defusing. Of course you can certainly try, but when it gets the that point, it becomes a game of who swings first.

[@nikoskabbadias]

+Gamma1227 It is clear. Once they have entered striking range showing aggression, they have chosen their fate. The only thing I would do just to be legally covered, is warn them to stay away before they enter my striking range, displaying defensive body language.

[@Gamma1227]

Fevos Man Couldn't have said it better. Exactly what everybody should do. If someone is going to come at me while knowing I don't want to fight, seeing that my body language displays a submissive disposition, I won't give it a second thought. The first thing they're going to notice is how fast I went from a passive "hands up and cower" position to a hammer fist at the nose.

[@martinferoli7480]

Gamma1227, Best Comment on this video. I think the scenario Nick was trying to illustrate is one where "The Aggressor" is right up in your face, as you mentioned and making threats. "I'm going to" (fill in your favorite threat here) If you are extremely talented you can wait and counter. I wouldn't wait. Especially if I was picking up take out food. It might get cold, lol.

[@isaiqbal3138]

Fevos man exactly

[@Chuck.Reynolds]

[@CookinginRussia]

The odds of being in a one-on-one street fight are remote. The reality is that you will have at least two attackers minimum.

[@mrparker3509]

No that depends on where you are and what you did

[@CookinginRussia]

California, and nothing. I've been in that situation several times.

[@suncu91]

shawn parker if someone is looking for a fight, he is sure to have a back up if things get bad. when someone do something he is sure to get beaten up. but more often you will get attacked by people with blood in their eyes looking for a fight. so if you are alone, and someone is provoking its better to calm him down. but either then you may get attacked.

[@CookinginRussia]

suncu91 Exactly. Unless you have the skills of a Bruce Lee, taking on multiple opponents (some of whom may turn out to be armed) is suicide, and even the Shaolin teach that the best solution is to avoid the conflict in the first place.

[@CookinginRussia]

jescollo I guess my "crime" was being white and well dressed. The US is the only developed nation in the world that has cities among the 50 most dangerous places in the world. Several of them, in fact. It is a culture of violence with an obscene stratification of wealth at its roots. Just because you've been lucky, means nothing. I was lucky, too. I survived, having been shot only once. Instead of relying on luck in the future, I left. Now I can walk the streets any time of the day or night without even having to think about who might be behind me. My children play on their own in parks without fears. I've never even seen a teenager who looks dangerous. They are all polite and nice.

A trachea shot will end any life if done properly. Seriously, don't fuck around with throat shots unless it's life and death.

[@jpracingph]

TheKlassikKiller If you need to strike in a situation, it IS life and death.

[@countrysamurai]

Well said...your first response is to retreat. Someone is always watching and it makes you look good. But when a person will not allow you to...you commit yourself with total violence of action. Unremitting and totally focused. Any fight can immediately turn life or death...thus once it turns physical...your goal is to completely incapacitate your opponent...and cheating is always allowed. Fair fights are for small children and school teachers. My first target is the trachea...never give me the opportunity...once I feel threatened...all bets are off. I love the one shot stop. When it comes to that...I have exhausted all my options to avoid conflict, now their life is in danger.

[@aquilianaquilian493]

countrysamurai bro are you a soldier? Your words inspired me

[@Tester2244]

Cmon guys when did you ever get into a fight 1 on 1, its always that some group of idiots come and start pushing you around. Then there is no other choice to hit people in troath, eyes and balls. The ones that talk about clean fair fights, they can dream on, like "rules in war" lol.

[@Tester2244]

***** Yeah I understand good point :)

[@DarkSignal59]

obviously, the best places to hit are the weakest spots on the human body. i'd definately strike the eyes and throat first. hell i've been doing traditional martial arts and a lot of the techniques had striking these places. they're far more efficient so whoever thinks he's such a tough guy to go by the old "fight fair" or "fight like a real man" i'm seeing an ass whooping in his future in a real fight. these weak point striking techniques have been used for so long on the battlefields and worked, why not use them now too since they work?

[@josipbacelic-medic4320]

DarkSignal59 Right,but if you fail at such a punch or sth your attacker will probably injure you very seriously,Man if i see that someone get a groin kick i would instantly knockout you even if i was totally uninvolved in a fight

[@3lineskink]

true but these strikes aren't made for a fair fight either, they're made to deal unexpected damage

[@heroverse9984]

What if the attacker is a girl

[@GeorgiaShootersGroup]

I've used the head butt to defend myself from attack and it worked so well I was almost arrested for being the attacker before witnesses explained to the police that I was the defender. In fact I realized I could kill someone with that move. Once you head butt them once in the face they will be putty in your hands. I like that two handed shove too. Another good thing to cover is how to fight their legs and crotch if they get you on knees. Or how to defend with legs if on your back. Thanks, I liked your video

[@BLACKCATBANG]

The hammer fist is my favorite for landing the starting blow. Compared to how I have seen other people who punch by cocking the fist back either out to their side or over the head before thrusting forward, the hammer fist is seems like a better, more accurate technique.

[@CYBOPOD88]

Good stuff Nick. I subscribed and liked. Don't you hate it when people don't do that. I show a few lethal punches, I come from a boxing background, but you never know when you might have to use something a little dirty so to speak. The streets don't have rules.

[@MrRafabro]

Dude if you're attacking first YOU are the attacker.

[@MrRafabro]

I know, but what he is doing is hitting a person while talking to them. That just makes you the aggressor. A preemptive strike is when someone is pushing you, getting on your space and you just attack them after you try to calm them down just by talking, not while talking sucker punch someone.

[@MrRafabro]

Well if he makes it clear that he wants to hurt you, you have right to defend yourself, but if you can just avoid the situation by talking and getting him out of your space, thats what you should do, because if other people are watching you need to make it clear that you don't want to fight

[@TKeeper94]

MrRafabro normal I'd agree with you but after my last altercation my perception has changed. There had been a slight scuffle at a party I'd attended and this drunk guy got knocked to the ground. He looked to be in his early 60s so concerned he may be injured I asked if he was okay and extended a hand to help him to his feet. His buddy ran shouting "who the fuck are you?" before I had a chance to respond (literally never got a word out)and explain I didn't want to fight and despite how clear my intentions to help the old dude were, he got into my space and pushed me. Staggering back from the push I felt a punch land behind my ear, one of his buddies saw him push me and decided he'd take a few swings as well. Then as he attacked his other friend decided to join in. So then I've got 3 guys attacking me, I put my hands up and did my best to avoid being grabbed or punched but 3 on 1 is not easy for anyone, especially when it's out of the blue and you've had a few drinks and as you'd expect they got quite a few shots in before people raced in to split it up. Had I not let the first guy get amped up and get into my space it could have been 2 on 1 and perhaps the first sucker punch wouldn't have landed had I not been staggering from being pushed. I know you can't just hit a guy for being in your personal space, but if they're being aggressive, getting pumped up, challenging you and then they come into your personal space then their mind is made up and their intentions are clear. I find the laws regarding self defense quite tedious as actions are faster than reactions and often trying to defuse the situation by talking or waiting for them to do something gives them the advantage you just refused yourself and ends up with the douchebag getting in the first and possibly last shot. Depending on how the situation plays out, the consequences for you could range from a black eye and some chipped teeth, to a broken jaw/arm/leg/spine or some unexpected funeral fees for your family to pay.

[@liquidketamine8562]

No, the one with the intention to hurt someone is the attacker

[@akiraito7113]

I do it for fun and exercise. Besides, people get into trouble here all the time. Take it from me a majority of my street fights were in japan and I've been in fights since I was 5 but I agree with you about Japan's safety. There's no yakuza where I live just the occasional idiot. The media depicts Japan as a safe haven when in reality there's lots of idiots here but I luckily I haven't been in a fight in over 2 years. I live at a children's welfare institute and there were a few fights right in my own home. My experience in japan was an awful one thanks to my abusive father but it's gotten better. And if you reply to my comment please refrain from using foul language I mean no disrespect just I don't handle it well. About the people here, they are very kind and I can rest at ease knowing I'm safe but again, I practice my cat kenpo for fun and exercise, the self defense is a bonus. Sorry about the long comment though.

[@akiraito7113]

Lieutenant Dogg in other words, it's because I was abused by my father and beaten by other children that it made me want to become stronger and take up martial arts. I mean no disrespect sir but you have no right to tell me what to do. I can decide what I want to do regardless of reason and opinions from other people and do refrain from foul language as it shows I, a 17 year old, am more mature than you. Goodnight. :)

[@wunikianimistic7171]

That is very true, however, in many situations there are occasions where one will try to start shit, who is alone. More people have started shit with me alone, than in a group. I was once attempted mugged by one individual who was willing to kill me. That is a fact. I am sure that there is many videos out there that are reference to group attacks.

[@Gaston043]

I used to get into a lot of streetfights as a teen. I really love to headbutt, the sound and feeling is fantastic! Most people are shocked after receiving a headbutt, this gives you a few seconds to finish him!

[@lynnetterochamcfarlane9731]

of the numerous street right footage I browsed through, this one is bad far the most logical, straight forward & realistic. I also agree with Nick that the areas to strike your opponent are indeed the most effective at doing the most damage to your adversary. This is based on some experiences of my own as well. Great tutorial Nick, I look forward to viewing more of your posts ☺

You can block most of the strikes shown in this video, besides this guy is teaching how to attack someone who isn't fully aware, shouldn't this be for defense only?

[@domzbu]

You might be being mugged or threatened with real violence. There are certain instances when pre emptive strikes can be justified as self defence, even in the eyes of the law.

[@ajnaidas1855]

Personally, I wouldn't use my knees for my first strikes in a street fight until i'm comfortable enough with my balance, power and overall training. The first two strikes are the best ones.

[@miggyv6856]

I think the palm strike is a very good defensive technique. I have used it in many situaions where I have gotten attacked by drunk/problematic people and it ends the fight instantly.

[@TheAlexmercer360batmanfan]

never be the first one to hit,it has uglier consequences.

[@MrRadomir89]

Never be the one who gets punched first, has more painful consequences.

[@TheAlexmercer360batmanfan]

Suddenly Troll maybe,but afterwards you can kick his ass without having to worry much about a lawsuit.

[@MrRadomir89]

If u get knocked out by first punch i doubt you'll remember who to sue ! :D

[@TheAlexmercer360batmanfan]

Suddenly Troll getting knocked out is not so easy,and if someone sucker punches me,then he is a coward,its no accomplishment on his part,in a selfdefense situation yes you are absolutely right,but not in one on one pride fights.If someone does not hit me or attempt to hit me hard enough I dont feel like hitting him,i dont feel justified in that kind of stuff,and funny thing is the more i get hit,the more I feel like kicking the other guy's ass,i mean the rage,it comes after I am in pain,not before,as for knocking out,it will need an amateur boxer's best shot to knock me out,I am into kyokushin(yellow belt),and its mandatory part of my training to get intentionally served in my face,so I will rather wait for the son of a bitch to hit.

[@BUDOKAIultimate3]

Yea im like that too, I will never start the fight by hitting the foe first, but if he makes the first hit and im lucky enough to not get dropped by a 'one hitter quitter', then im going all out on him.

Syed Uddin Sometimes, it's just a matter of choice, would rather be the butt'er of the butt'ee. And it hurts a lot more in the face than it does the top of your head into their soft nose.

[@SirAlex-jb5dl]

+tetsuken-ryu No, I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that it wouldn't be taught to you if it didn't do anything. Smash with the cranium ( hardest part of the skull) into the nose, or the temple(softest part of the brain) If it hurts, it won't hurt a lot. And as you do it, the pain will begin to lessen. Also, I have had a reality check. I've done it before. I have first hand experience and not that " I saw it on TV so it must be true" shit. I'm not saying it's good as a punch or a kick or elbow, but it won't hurt. Normally in a fight I don't do it. Others do. It's tried and true. Don't fight it, dipshit.

This is my first fight story, please read the whole thing, It is one hundred percent true, except the moral of the story.... XD I'm only 13, but this week a couple of football players my age tried cornering me and beating me up. They didn't have any idea that I was a kickboxer for 4 years and that my Dad taught me Taekwondo and Judo as soon as I learned to walk. Anyways, I live in a wealthy, clean neighborhood, so I never saw it coming. I was taking my daily run while in a park, four of them came out from behind the snack bar and tried to corner me against a line of trees. I tried to talk out of it, walk away, because I didn't want people around me to be hurt. They kept at it, and when one finally swung at me, I ducked and used his own momentum to push his face into a full grown oak. (Judo, momentum push) He fell, clutching his crooked nose, while the other three came at me. I kicked one guy in the back of the knee (Kickboxing standard fall strategy), and he fell. While he knelt on the ground and tried to get back up, I grabbed another guy by the shirt and pulled him towards me. I used a Judo twist to flip him backwards over me and then he fell on the broken nose kid. The last one tried to kick me in the face, but his leg didn't go high enough and I grabbed his leg, making him fall, and when he tried to get back up, I Tornado kicked him in the jaw. He started crying, and then I ran away. They had no idea who I was and tried picking on me just because I was small. But after that day, nobody messed with me again. Moral of the story: Purple camels have purple humps. BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THIS IS A TRUE STORY

[@G34-w9m]

Well done, The guy who put this video up said that throwing was a bad tactic in a street fight because you would go down and get attacked, thank you for defeating his statement :)

[@whiskeydrinker24]

You can also throw a knee to the groin. Sorry, but in a street fight there are no rules and there are no refs. Use whatever you can to win and if that takes kneeing someone in the groin and then knocking them out, so be it.

[@FlankerDeiniol]

Definitely! Krav Maga: half the counters begin with a well placed strike to the groin.

[@whiskeydrinker24]

Sorry, but a fight is a fight. And pulling out a gun is nowhere near the same ballpark as throwing a knee to the groin. You kick someone's ass and they turn you, you get in a bit of trouble. You pull a gun out and shoot someone your life as you know it ends. Might wanna think about that smart one.

[@whiskeydrinker24]

If someone wants to attack me with no weapon then it's just gonna be a fight and I will do what I must to win, unless I am on duty and then they are probably going to get a face full of OC or a shot from my asp in the knee. But if someone wants to pull a weapon, you will get shot, that's all there is to it.

[@Onfire4Christ777]

whiskeydrinker24 Actually depending on the state a person lives in....If a person feels that their life or someone else is at risk they are allowed BY LAW to use lethal force to either injure them severely, or deadly whatever the case might be....So that was a rather generalized statement to say that your life is over if you pull a gun because it wouldn't be if the use of such force was justified. Do yourself a favor,and actually know what your talking about before making idiotic comments just because someone mentions pulling a firearm to defend themselves. Especially if they are in states where such force to protect their lives is allowed by law.

[@whiskeydrinker24]

Yeah, most states allow laws like that. I was not talking about getting your face completely smashed in to the point of brain damage or choking someone out until brain damage begins to occur. Yeah, if you feel your life is in immediate danger then by all means use your firearm to protect your life. What I was talking about is just a regular fight that people part ways afterwards. I simply stated a kick to the groin can end the fight and someone said well if that is going to be allowed then I will just pull a gun. Try convincing a court that your life was in danger and you used lethal force because someone tried to kick you in the nuts. Good luck with that one. I know you were trying to sound smart and educate me with your comment, but try looking at the context next time buddy.

[@NymeriaMeliae]

love fighting with my elbows... good strong blocks that really hurt and elbows have won me more fights than I can remember. straight up elbow is devastating... it is my favourite attack and it is good for defense too... I often used to leave my stomach open for attack and then drop the elbow down as they go to punch - smashes their hand in as if they hit the top of your head with a bare knuckle. Knocked my father out in a fight using the elbow straight up - he went to punch in my stomach - grabbed his other hand and used it to block the incoming punch, stepped in with an elbow straight up into the face - sent him flying across the room and knocked him out. His face was a proper mess. Never fought with my father again after that. You do need to protect your arm pit though against a counter attack that can dislocate your shoulder if you are fighting someone who knows what they are doing.

[@andtpfack8243]

someone cheap shoted me 3 weeks ago. I was sitting on the ground rolling a cig 3 guys came across. one of them stood right infront of me will i was rolling my cig. he held my head and gave me a knee crocked to the jaw. Result 2 times broken jaw. i didnt even get the chance to fight back. when your fight starts with a double broken jaw you are better of getting the fuck out of there. Its all theoretical on the real street the circumstances can be in your favor or against you. Good luck to everyone.

[@davetay]

if you do the hammerfist thing , make sure you land with the' almost wrist' bit of your hand- the carpal structures, otherwise you will break your meta carpals, as I have done on both hands.. and its not nice, worse than nose or collarbone I have experienced(when I was younger)...

[@didgevibratesmybrain]

If to you... it's "the hammerfist thing" don't try it. I used that as a child on somebody and instinctively had to use about 10% power so my attacker wouldn't be too wounded. Hammerfist is what some martial arts use to break bricks, but to be fair the brick is only held up by the ends and wouldn't be possible to break if it was flat on the ground.

[@rodboy4461]

perfect especially if they dont have hands pr legs

[@Road_to_Tolaria]

Also, on a more personal note, thank you Nick. I've always been concerned how I would handle myself if I were attacked by either a double (or quadruple) amputee perched on a post. It is actually my second greatest fear, the first was being mugged by a man carrying a banana (fortunately I watched the Monty Python self-defense training video and I also think I have that covered now).

[@jonathanschadenfreude9603]

Seen a well placed headbutt turn a asshole into a gentleman!

[@guillermocarter7544]

Should rename the video "how to sucker punch"

[@kaiziel]

top 5 devastating cheap shots... you always say 'im talking to the person then pow'...cheap shot

[@CheeseBae]

It's not a cheap shot. If someone gets in your face it's aggressive posturing and you're in immediate harm. They've closed the gap so that they're in striking distance. You have the right to defend yourself. Also, there might also be multiple guys getting ready to jump you.

[@kaiziel]

Justin H understandable if there is multiple guys trying to jump you, but in having a 'street fight 1v1' should at least give them a push back to give them a chance to throw them up before giving them a 1 hit wonder out of mid conversation. cant walk around saying i beat this guy up with ease when you knowingly ko'd him during negotiations. cant feel proud for those.. its like challenging someone to a game on xbox then smashing his controller before it starts. but yeah there will always be people who make videos of massive king hits from behind or when not expected.

[@kaiziel]

you statement is pathetic. go back to playing ruinescape you 'simpleton'

[@bryankinney1782]

So instead of going off of facts you try to insult me with assumptions? Now THATS pathetic. I also don't get why you put simpleton in quotations like its uncommonly said. You're a fucking idiot.

[@stefke1993carina]

it's completely up to you if you are going to use this in the fight or you are going to expect your attacker to fight cleanly and his friend not to jump in, and his knife/gun to stay in his pocket. What i'm saying is, if someone picks a fight with you for no reason, they are up to no good.

[@ogpoke9523]

[@RegularGuy88]

what do i do if my opponent has arms?

[@WaxNumen]

This video ignores a couple vital places such as the solar plexus, knees, and a good kick in the balls.

[@hardcaliber19]

Well to be fair, this was about methods of striking, not target areas.

[@deafsmith1006]

Well here is a good list I keep. 1. Head butt.. either by itself or grabbing them. 2. Hammer fist. Fake it by rubbing your chin. 3. Knuckle attack to throat. 4. Double palm strike to face/nose/chin. 5. Knee. Best to grab them for stability. Knee nuts, diaphragm, outside thigh nerves... 6. Chop to throat. 7. Eye jabs. 8. Middle finger flick to eyeballs. 9. Index finger knuckle to throat. 10. Overhead backfist to nose. 11. Thumb jab to eye. 12. Slap to ear. 13. Shin rap with shod foot. 14. Foot stomp. 15. Elbow to jaw/ribs 16. Sidekick/roundhouse inside knees. I'm sure there are more!

[@randyorton2832]

I am an overweight kid. I got bullied and decided to fight back. I'm not saying this vid is bad but I used an attack where the opponent strikes with a punch I put my arm under his arm, kick him in the shin flip him and he lands on his back. I got detention, it was worth it

[@megsgrooming2804]

that sounds like hockey slewfooting lol

[@pizzadude9877]

Salute to you brother. Defense for the underdoggz

[@rebelwithoutapplause5629]

A headbutt can get you 6 months in prison, as can an elbow etc.. Why have you allowed the assailant into your personal space..? I agree with Nicks hammer punch, I box, unless you know how to use your hands correctly, you run serious risk of hurting or breaking them.. Bad.. Busted hands equals missed training.. In my opinion, left arm pointing forward, (you then guage distance) but look defensive, should loudly "back off, I don't want to fight", so everyone hears it.. At the same time you have your right hand palm forward next to your head, you still looking defensive however you have now loaded a punch and your feet are in the right position.. If the idiot backs off, A men.. if he goes for you, use the loaded punch.. I box at an amateur level, the last thing I do is fight, but, if I'm forced to, most fights end pretty quickly.. I prefer to walk away..

[@countrysamurai]

Well said...your first response is to retreat. Someone is always watching and it makes you look good. But when a person will not allow you to...you commit yourself with total violence of action. Unremitting and totally focused. Any fight can immediately turn life or death...thus once it turns physical...your goal is to completely incapacitate your opponent...and cheating is always allowed. Fair fights are for small children and school teachers. My first target is the trachea...never give me the opportunity...once I feel threatened...all bets are off. I love the one shot stop. When it comes to that...I have exhausted all my options to avoid conflict, now their life is in danger.

[@DaviZelda]

In a street fight why would u aim the knees to the ribs? There is no rules on street fights, go for the testicles

[@BlackMoridin]

+Davi Souza ribs actually do more damage

[@katsudon5296]

Coz thats dog

[@ChrisPPotatoIDC]

+Davi Souza More damage

[@allenmurphy4691]

+Davi Souza Easier said than done against a resisting opponent. He can use his hands to jam a groin shot, he can block with his legs. I'd say blast away at whatever is open - thighs, ribs, solar plexus, bladder, etc. - with an eye toward landing a devastating strike to the crown jewels once they open up.

[@mrdoolio]

+Davi Souza While testicles hurt like hell, most people in an adrenaline-driven situation can ignore the pain for some time, often enough time to retaliate and possibly turn the tide. Also, the pain is somewhat delayed, you aren't actually going dysfunctional from receiving a kick to the nuts. At least not in a situation like that. In a school fight or regulated match, yes, a slight graze will make you exercise your "moral right to stoppage", which you will certainly use. But in a street fight, you are probably more likely to attack even more viciously than you did, at least for some time. Same goes for eye gauge, for example (of course, unless both of your eyes are popped, in which case the fight is pretty much over:) ). A knee to the ribs or plexus are instantly disabling if executed decently. You might kick his air out, which pretty much prevents him from reacting in some constructive fashion, you might "score" a liver shot, which renders him basically paralyzed with pain even if he's a seasoned fighter and so on and so forth. While in the long run, I'd certainly choose to be kneed in the ribs or plexus rather than in the balls, ribs are actually a better target for instant disabling. With a similar mindset, you might want to break his nose, as untrained/most people simply can't deal with it, as they WILL automatically cry and get severely confused and disoriented - even though if we talk about consequences, a broken nose isn't a big deal.

[@Believe6]

.....fighting..lowest level of life... Why fight? simply walk away, let them save face, let them feel they won, heck, play the part that they won...If they refuse you passage after that, then you strike back...If you are this close to someone, and they try and sucker punch you, simply get away from the strike don't try and sit there and duke it out. ... No shame in a kick to the balls. just remember, at some point you stop being the victim and turn in the aggressor. use your words, not your body, because one day somebody will come along and knock out lights out, and like Davy said, they could possibly kill you if your knocked out, even if you aren't they can pull a gun.... Stay safe

He himself is besides the point, he's demonstrating devastating strikes. Furthermore he's not implying he's a gangster. Look up gangster fights all they do is flail and say "nigga I live this life". Take notes.

I don't like most of these because i dont like the fact that you start the fight with an unfair move while you're still talking...not cool

[@marcuslarsson8997]

Nothing is 'unfair' on the street unless both wants to fight.

[@Waafa]

***** Don't you think submission/compliance holds would be better for a street fight?

[@animatrix7]

shanis81 I personally think everything comes into play in a street fight, I think submission holds are vital to survival, but sometimes you may jus have to hit and move if faced with multiple opponents.

[@joeneighbor]

Remember the idea is "self defense". Where you are not out looking for a fight. Note the attacker/aggressor always has the edge. All the stupid punks and criminals deserve what they are asking for. What is "fair" is pretty much anything since you are "defending" your self.

[@brooklynboiprod]

You're a very methodical fighter which is the best, imho. Just curious, have you practiced ninjutsu? I've done in my early teens and from my teachings, I was taught the fastest way to "kill" your aggressor by any means necessary. The reason I say kill is because ninjutsu is the art of assassination and my sensai constantly told us we are trained to kill. Anyways, I like that you don't have the tough guy attitude or look and it seems like you go by the saying, which is one of my favorite mottos , "Never underestimate your enemy but always overestimate you." That's another thing I was taught. Make your self look weak and take them off guard. The shock will stun them.

[@andrewofaiur]

I don't know how to fight, never been in one, and definitely don't want to be in one. but these self defense videos really encourage me to be aware of these unexpected situations and be ready for them. Thank you Nick, you're badass beyond words.

[@Road_to_Tolaria]

Not bad, considering arm bars and elbow locks are clearly are out of the equation.

[@adamflaherty5338]

I can think of three better without much effort, it's a street fight where one blow could kill you and you don't know how far the other person will go so with that in mind, number one: hard punch to the throat, number two: eye gouge and number three: kick to the balls. If you pull off even two of those strikes the other person is pretty much fucked

[@LuckyCannonTV]

Hammer fist is smart. Just act like your crossing your arms like he did and just smash them In the jaw while they are either in the middle of a sentence or staring off. They won't expect it either way.

[@TheLondonCyclist]

***** Wouldn't that forfeit your "self defence" claim? you'd have to be hit first, so crossing your arms talking and attacking your person is assault...

[@AdamRadcliffe]

TheLondonCyclist Many people have the misconception in the UK that you cant attack a robber in your own house which is false. If he poses any threat to you or your personal belongings you are lawfully allowed to act within the realms if an 'acceptable' amount of force to injur them to stop the threat. I assume that the same would apply here if you know that your welbeing is threatened and you are protecting yourself against the inevitable

[@josecalderon9487]

I'm not too crazy about the hammer fist scenario where Nick looks calm and his arms are folded like he's having a cigarette or something. In a real self-defense situation, you never want to appear as the aggressor. When you look so calm like that, you will give the appearance that you're not threatened. It can work against you if there are witnesses to the confrontation.

[@colinmorgan2660]

I love the way even the thugs can learn all this 'new fighting' stuff on youtube - awesome. Promote the violence I say! ;-)
