In a street fight, you are battling against another individual who is trying to take you down. This can be dangerous for both of you, so it is important that you know the proper steps to follow in order to survive. These steps include pre-contact, the first strike principle, and survival tactics.
First strike principle
The first strike principle is a key element of street survival. If you are caught off guard by your attacker, this simple, yet effective, method of attack can demolish their defensive walls and set you on the road to victory.
In order to master this principle, you’ll need to assess the threat of your opponent, as well as the environment. Knowing these factors will help you decide whether or not to make a preemptive strike.
A preemptive strike should only be used if you believe that your life is in danger. It is your legal right to defend yourself and you must be sure that you can do so.
First strikes are also useful in some conventional conflicts. In the 1967 battle, Israel won by striking first.
Weapons
If you’ve ever been in a street fight you’ve probably seen the big guns. But if you’re on the defensive, the best bet is to stay calm and carry on. You’re probably going to get hit, and you might even find yourself in a compromising situation. To make the best of things, you need to know how to use your weapons of choice to their fullest potential. The right weapons, coupled with the right training, can turn your worst nightmare into your lucky day. Hopefully, you can avoid getting involved in the first place. This may not be the case in some of the more densely populated areas of the country, but the best bet is to stay well away from the dreaded urban core.
Survival tactics
It’s a fact: street fights are dangerous. You have to have survival tactics. If you are caught in a street fight, you can either confront the attacker or run away. In any case, you must protect yourself and your loved ones.
The first thing you need to do is to develop your skills. This means training and learning to defend yourself. For example, you should develop a skill set that includes breaking a hold. By breaking a hold, you are able to get away from the situation.
Next, you should learn how to throw a punch. Most people try to land a big right hand punch in the face. But the problem with this is that a striker may break a hand. So, instead of throwing a big punch, you should load the punch with your left hand.
