I’m pretty sure I’d have the will to jump in and try & break up gang-on-one asswhuppin, or at least disturb it to the point where we’d get some running-away time in. I suppose if I were a surprise participant in the altercation I could even take one dude out with a throat punch or something. After that I’d just be another victim though. I’ve not groomed myself for street fighting and rely entirely on avoidance for handling violence.
Street Fighter is a videogame, there is no such thing as street fighting it is a fantasy.
No one is groomed for street fights and anyone sane resorts to avoidance FIRST always, you’ll find DVDs purporting to teach you how to street fight or even knife fight(LOL) but you’d be a fool to think it has any relation to reality.
Self defense is creating enough opening to flee, and if you fear for your life or someone else’s you don’t worry about nonsense like fair fist fights or anything you worry about saving your skin. It is about saving yourself injury or fatality not honorably responding to insults or threats or having a fair mano a mano fist fight all fantasy.
If a group of five guys down an alley yells at me that my mother is a whore, I laugh at the idiots as I walk away, I already won because shitting in a colostomy bag or recovering from a debilitating head injury isn’t in my future.
Hulk out with my bulk out.
I don’t think you understand. I don’t ask politely to switch hostages. I attack the ones directly preventing the person’s escape (e.g. the ones restraining them), and make myself just enough of a credible threat to distract them enough to let the former victim get away, then I don’t escape myself and let them attack me while the other person leaves.
Nonsense, as this self defense video shows, all you need is wrist control.
