You will need to learn street fighting at one point or another and incorporate it into your martial arts training you have already done for years, or maybe only a few months. Many of the main stream martial arts are outdated compared to today's violent encounters.
Learn street fighting #1 - The worst place you never want a fight to go is on the ground. If you are on the ground sure you could try an armbar and break his arm, but chances are he will have friends arriving to beat you senseless, landing on the concrete can break bones or knock you out, and grappling is deadly on the ground. Your attacker could pull out a blade and stab you while you have him in the guard.
Learn street fighting #2 - When you are committed into fighting, be the first to attack. Don't expect your first strike to be a knock out either. You will want to go full steam ahead with anger and rage while you rip apart your opponent. Use every nasty street fighting technique you know to cause the bad guy serious pain and to prevent the attack from getting worse.
Learn street fighting #3 - Many blackbelt martial artists have been beat down in nightclub and bar fights. Why is that? Because the techniques they learn in the dojo, don't apply the pressures and stress of real combat. You need to be mentally focused enough to react fast, conquer your fear of being hit or injured, and using as much violence necessary to win the battle.
