How to Win a Street Fight

I just read the article and here's some cynical comments.
A. the headline should be more like 'How to avoid street fight' or something similar.
B. reading some stuff doesn't help a ****. One has to actually train stuff to have it work. Especially in stress situation like street fight.
C. there were lots of stuff that I would call beyond reasonable. Like who the hell goes around and checks surroundings in active manner? Not even cops or soldiers do that on duty.
D. There was some stuff that was pretty obvious. Like people naturally try to prepare themselves if they see a threat.

As a whole pretty decent stuff and some good tips, but the context stays a little unclear for me. To whom this stuff is written for and why?

Class, who can tell me what's wrong with this statement?

Your opponent is a better fighter, and has backup; They have a blunt or edged weapon, such as brass knuckles or a knife; and you will be hit. Be ready to take a punch.

That it didn't mentioned the glass and lava? :tongue3:

The "be ready to take a punch" must be part of some machiavelian eugenics plan to kill any tard who buy into that advise.

How to win an MMA Match

Things I learned:

Groin kicks and leg sweeps are key moves.
Grappling means "holding tight onto [your opponent]."
When an opponent goes to ground, they will always try to get up immedietely.
When this happens, you speed punch their torso "for about a minute."
Family members and soccer games are invaluable MMA training

Okay, that article was some of the dumbest **** I have read in my life. I would LOVE to know what exactly was running through the "mind" of the guy who wrote that.

It helps to wear a big helmet like the guy on the left in the picture. (Plus, if your opponent tries teh d34dly eye thrust, you can slam the visor down on his fingers. ) Never understood why NFL players take their helmets off to fight.

MMA+Parkour+Verbal Judo=The ultimate civilian self-defense

side note: learn Kali like the Dog Brothers if you want to to use/understand weapons.

It's that simple!
