In some cases, if your manhood (or femininity) is questioned, or because you have no way out, you will be forced to fight. It's not about winning or losing any fight, but more about proving that you can stand up for yourself. If you want to win, potentially against someone bigger, stronger and more experienced than you, follow these simple rules.

Steps

Step 1. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings

Understand who can attack you and how to quickly escape the area. This will help you predict violence, and will give you time to prepare your reaction if needed. Plus you'll get the adrenaline working in your favor rather than letting it paralyze you.

Keep peripheral vision active as you look around. Your peripheral vision represents the outer limit of your vision, the things we see indirectly when we stare at things. Use it actively. It will help you anticipate obstacles when you still have time

Step 2. If you feel you are in serious danger, escape as soon as you can

If you think a person or group is going to attack you the moment you decide to flee, try to do it inconspicuously. Attackers may be chasing you if they think you are running away.

Swallow the pride - slight altercations can quickly escalate into dangerous situations, if both sides are unable to control their egos or do not know their limits. Going to the hospital with a broken nose may not be worth the reputation you get for not running away

Step 3. Try to defuse the situation

This is the negotiation phase of the fight. Talk to your attacker and try to make him desist or accept a truce. If you have the gift of eloquence, it's time to use it. Don't let your guard down when negotiating.

• Say something like, "I'll fight if it helps, but honestly I'd rather not. Let's calm down and try to settle this as civilized people."
• Or try, "I don't want to hurt you. I don't have to prove anything. You can try to hit me if you want, but I don't recommend it."

Step 4. If escape is not possible or practicable, get into combat position

Raise your hands, palms out, to neck level, and orient your body away from your attacker. This way you will achieve three things: control of the distance between you and your attacker, coverage of the head and vital organs, and a posture that is not aggressive. Always stay in motion, but never backwards.

• Protect your face with your hands. Look at the picture of a boxer covering his face with gloves; you'll have to put your hands like that, unless you're punching.
• Keep your legs apart and your knees slightly bent. You will have more balance. This way your attacker will not be able to land you.
• When you're not talking, keep your mouth shut. A well-aimed blow to an open mouth could break your jaw.

Step 5. From this defensive position, keep talking trying to pacify the situation

(Ex: "What's the problem? How can I help you?") The best way to win a fight is not to let it happen. "Calm down nice" and "Don't get hot" can raise the tension.

• Relaxing dialogues have many positive effects:

  • They offer the offender a non-violent option.
  • You could make the attacker look down or make him underestimate you.
  • You will make your position about the fight understood.
  • Solicit a choice from your attacker, and you will gain time.

  

  Step 6. Look for symptoms of an adrenaline response in your attacker

  When the adrenaline pumps into your assailant's blood, the attack is likely imminent. Most people will not give up on an attack when the adrenaline rises, be prepared to get hit no matter what your attacker appears to be doing.

  • Symptoms that the attacker's adrenaline response is in full swing:
  • Monosyllable expressions or grunts.
  • Excessive swearing
  • Spread of the arms
  • Furrowed eyebrows
  • Embedding of the chin
  • Pale complexion in the face
  • Teeth exposed

  

  Step 7. Make sounds when you fight

  It may seem strange to you, but it works. Launch your fiercest battle cry in rage. This will serve two purposes. First you will intimidate your assailant if your verses are very fierce and violent; You will also draw more attention to the fight, and it will be easier to end it.

  

  Step 8. Keep your distance with your defense

  To hit you, the attacker will have to get past your defense. In more than 95% of cases, your attacker will try to hit your head, usually with a right hook. (Most people are right-handed). If you know your attacker is left handed, be prepared to defend yourself from a left hook to the face or body.

  • Use your defense as a trap. If your attacker touches it once, prepare for a counterattack. Strike on the second touch, in a vulnerable spot.
  • Don't wait for your opponent to correct or increase the intensity of the attack. If he touches you once, be prepared to fight back as soon as he tries to touch you again.

  

  Step 9. Be careful when you hit someone in the face

  You could break the small bones in your hand very easily, or even collapse your knuckles. Aim for the nose and lips to minimize the risks.

  

  Step 10. If the opponent is bigger and more capable than you, try even harder not to get hit

  If a person is strong, they probably know how to hit very hard. A well-placed punch may be enough to knock a person down.

  • Dodging is the secret of a fight. Stay on your toes and move like a boxer. If your attacker does not know which direction you will move, he will have a harder time hitting or landing you.
  • After dodging a punch, your attacker will have his guard uncovered for a split second. It's time to hit it. The weak points are extremely useful. The nose, face, kidneys, temples and throat are all great points for a punch. You may be able to temporarily numb him (especially in the throat, but you may cause his windpipe to collapse). Kicks on the sides of the femur are also effective. You could throw him off balance enough to hit him in the jaw with a kick or punch.

  

  Step 11. Learn to take a hit

  Unless you are able to fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee, you will likely get hit once or twice during the fight. Knowing how to take a hit can help you last longer and take harder hits.

  • How to cash out a punch in the face. Keep your mouth closed, contract your neck and jaw muscles, and move towards your fist. Moving towards the punch (unless it's a straight one) can make the attacker miss the target, giving you the opportunity to counterattack. If you can, try to get your attacker to target the hard part of his forehead, and injure his hands.
  • How to cash out a punch to the body. Contract your stomach muscles without taking in too much air. Try to move around your fist, so that it hits you on the side (oblique muscles) rather than on the stomach or against organs.

  

  Step 12. Aim your counterattacks at the chin or jaw

  Punches and hand strikes are the most effective options. Look at the jaw before hitting it. Not only will you have a chance to stun your opponent, but even a hard hit that doesn't quite land can force your attacker to reconsider.

  If he leaves his stomach uncovered, try to punch him in the stomach to take his breath away. If you can take his breath away, the fight will be over

  

  Step 13. If your attacker falls, kick or stomp him on the legs and torso

  A knee strike on the chest will also be very effective, but you will expose yourself to attacks from the person on the ground. Do not kick your head, because such a blow can easily be fatal.

  

  Step 14. Run away when the attacker is down and won

  If your fighting technique is good enough and you have mentally disarmed your attacker with dialogue and defense, you will be able to knock him out or at least disorient him. Use this moment to escape if you can. If your shot did not have this effect, however, you will catch it unprepared. Keep pushing him back with blows to the chin, jaw, and neck until he is incapacitated or has had enough.

  Advice

  • Don't worry about the pain, because thanks to the adrenaline, you won't feel anything until the fight is over.
  • Don't strike first, regardless of the outcome of the fight, you can sue your assailant and your legal standing will be much better if you didn't start striking.
  • Your strength and endurance levels will be a huge factor if the fight lasts longer than a few seconds. Some combat specific lifting exercises will be of great help to you - one of the best sources of information in this regard is www.strongerman.com.

  Warnings

  • Any fights you participate in can have serious consequences and are potentially life-changing. Fight only if absolutely vital - otherwise it won't be worth the legal consequences. Doing permanent damage or killing a person is easier than most people think, and weapons are often used in modern-day scuffles.
  • Never look down. Before you relax, make sure there are no more attackers in the area.
  • If you fall to the ground, do whatever you can to keep your opponent away until you can get up. Every second you stay on the ground puts you in danger of being kicked or stepped on by nearby people and your attacker. Remember that you will be very vulnerable when trying to get up, and it may be better to have a good grounding position if your opponent is very close. Keep your arms in your upper body, be prepared to roll away from attacks, and use your legs to keep your attacker away.
  • Treat all wounds as soon as possible.
  • Don't hesitate and don't worry about the legal consequences of what you are about to do if you are attacked. If you find yourself in danger, it is far better to defend yourself vigorously and explain your actions to a lawyer afterwards than to be injured or killed.
  • Never try to grab your opponent's legs with your hands and arms while they are firmly on their feet. In most cases it will be too difficult to move them, and you will expose yourself to many attacks such as knees or blows to the back of the head. It is possible to land an opponent by grabbing the calf and at the same time pulling the leg towards you while pressing the knee with the shoulder. This technique can also be done using one foot to hook the leg and the other to push the knee.
