I want offer you another handful of useful street fighting moves and tips that can take your martial arts training to a whole new level. You need to be able to tell the difference between training for tournaments and the dojo, and applicable street fighting techniques.
Street fighting tips #1 - Always be the first person to attack. When you use the advantage of surprise you can throw your attacker off his game plan. If he gets in your face and asks for your wallet, why not put your hands up, say, "Please dont hurt me" and smash him with a punch to the throat followed by other strikes? Striking first is a valid move!
Street fighting tips #2 - Attack the three regions of the body. This includes the head (Eyes, throat, nose, temples, chin, ears.) The mid section, (collar bone, ribs, kidneys, stomach, groin.) Last but not least the lower body (legs, shins, knee caps, feet, toes.) You want to have a wide range of areas to strike that cause instant damage and pain.
Street fighting tips #3 - Carry a self defense weapon. If you are naturally smaller, weaker, or uncapable of defending yourself due to a physical disability or age, try carrying a weapon. A weapon as simple and effective as pepper spray can really discourage a bad guy from furthering his attack when he can't breathe or see.
Improve your chances of survival by following these street fighting tips that you can apply to your knowledge of martial arts. Having different styles of combat memorized will make you a that much better fighter!
