We have several distinctions really:
martial arts
wrestling/ boxing
now in a street fight, who'd have the advantage. The martial arts dude has more "skill" supposedly, whereas the wrestler/ boxer has endurance and let's assume he's bigger. Who'd u bet on?

Apparently the best UFC fighters are the ones who can grapple/wreslte best. The ninja dudes get a few good shots in, but once they're on the ground, they're fvcked.

Yup.

Sad really. They use their martial arts skills on their feet, but they all try to get down to the ground. All those guys are versatile now in both disciplines.

What about strictly a street fight, like no pro stuff. Someone who's ok at karate vs. an ok- good wrestler that's much bigger than him (say 60 pounds bigger).

martial art? hapkido contains lots of grappling which some consider as a form of wrestling and its still a form of martial art.

What kind of street fighting are you talking about, two guys settling some non lethal beef with each other, trying to keep things fair with some kind of rules in place, or out and out survival, theres a big difference Flamey. The wrestlers weight doesn't mean sh!t if his knees are broken or he can't stand on his feet, the crap you see on TV is acting, it doesn't take a pro to know a downward kick just above the kneecap will separate the cartilage from the kneecap and put the biggest man flailing on the ground helpless and in horrible pain, or break the leg at the knee altogether. Why are you asking this are you in trouble?

Connecting when you aren't proficient is difficult though. Sure if you connect it's cake (3 lbs/sq in of pressure to break), but then again breaking the average bone is 7 lb/sq in and you don't see most people breaking bones. They can't. They don't know how to hit correctly.

The truth is that when you pick a fight with someone you better be ready for them to be a black belt or golden gloves champion. In other words don't pick a fight.

Non lethal beef, but big beef. I been practicing on my punching bag at like 30-60 mins non stop (and feel dead after), but tho it builds stamina and lots of strength, it doesn't seem to do much with accuracy and actual experience.

Here's the thing: I've seen 250 pound football players knock the hell out of each other (been there), and it's basically wailing on the other guy till 1 gets tired or hurt. One of the "best" fighters we have in our school for example just pounds u down. Now I've never seen a dude who was ok at karate in action. I've messed around with my friend who's claims to have taken tae kwon do for 5 years, but he always does some mistake in which I end up hitting him hard in the head or throwing him off balance and then I get him in my grip and he's done. I figure in terms of straight punches (assuming they're not to the head directly) I could take a few more than the skinny guy could of mine, but then we factor in that he'll block whereas I just get hit, try to dodge a bit, but my main tactic is to find a hole and slam him.

Also, as I said, the fights I've been in involve essentially just punching. Now it's great to know all these moves that could take a guy out in 1 hit, but how well can a person who's training karate for a few years actually pull em off in a real fight? There isn't much time to think....

The most lethal form of fighting is... drunken cat fighting. Seeing two dumb broads flailing their lil' arms while pulling eachothers hair and clothes, then start crying and maybe puke afterwards, you'll die of laughter!

On a less serious note... If you're just fighting some punk kid like yourself, I'm sure nothing really matters unless he has actual training in some sort of fighting. If you want to get dirty, aim for the nuts. It's practically an automatic win, but you lose 35 points for doing it.

Kick in stomach + knee to face = him on ground, unless you suck.

When I was 16 I dropped a linebacker for Sonoma State with a quick shot to the throat. He was 325 lbs. Only time I ever used it. Very very impressive to watch a guy twice your size drop to his knees gasping for air. I was at work and gained infamous respect in a heartbeat, but I quit the job a few months later.

I thought you may have really been in trouble and needed some tips, if you're talking non lethal by the rules fighting, you're basically talking in the what if category, and thats really just an opinion as to who can do what.

Survival is a totally different animal altogether, if you're facing a person that will take the hits just to get in close to you, you're in trouble for sure, theres just too many lethal striking points around the face and neck area, that if you know where to strike a person, you can kill them with one blow.

Be careful who you tangle with, size doesn't mean anything against a person that knows how to defend themselves.

I don't advocate fighting unless it's a last resort really, and then you need to be swift and get the hell out of there. Give him the heftiest kick in the bollocks you can, and then leg it. He'll be on the ground for a good 5 minutes trying to extract his plums from somewhere in the region of his armpits. You'll be home and he'll be soprano.

Flamey, I have a friend that trained in Tai Kwon Do for years, and he in my opinion was damn good, as far as the moves he seemed to have it all down pat, one night he started a fight with another guy from our ship, they'd had a beef with each other for about a month previous, they threw down, my friend ended up on his back on the ground with the other guy on top of him trying to line my friends head up with a shot to the head with a bottle.

This guy literally was going to try and kill my friend or at least put him in the hospital, he was coming down with the bottle when I got to the situation, I went under the guys arm, with my arm as it was coming down and grabbed the guy by the throat, my arm was under his arm he could not continue the strike, my fingers were burried around the guys windpipe.

I picked him and my friend up from the ground and when they turned loose of each other and my friends weight dropped off, the guy literally was thrown through the air, we were standing next to a brick wall, the guy smacked against the brick wall, in an amazed shock, as he came off the wall he got into a fighting stance and so did I, he said, " Wait I don't have a beef with you" I said to him " You were going to hit my friend in the head with a bottle, I'm not going to let you do that" He said " I don't want to fight you" I said "Then leave" and he did.

This is a true story, it actually happened, later my friend told me, that he had trained for years to get what I had naturally, the point I'm trying to make here, is there is a natural fighting instinct, you either have it or you don't, if you don't have it, all the training in the world will not give it to you.

A pointer does not have to be trained to point, I used to have a dog that was never trained to point, but he was the best you've ever seen, absolutely beautiful. :smile:

Unfortionatly most people don't learn this. They jump in head first thinking they can beat people down with brute force. I think I'm lucky to have a father who has some great stories.

When he was in college this guy in his fraternity was supposedly a black belt but they never really thought much about it. He was a small guy maybe 5'5" or so. They're at a bar one night and this huge guy kept trying to start a fight with the guy. My dad's frat brother just kept telling him that he didn't want any trouble. The guy throws a punch though and my dad said that in the blink of an eye the little guy had the big guy crawling on his hands and knees crying. He had his one hand in a grip and just walked him down the stairs and out the bar in tears appologizing.

My father also took boxing in college and on the first day of class the teacher basically offered anyone an A and to be exempt from showing up again if they could last a round with this tiny guy in the ring. My dad, thinking he's a tough guy, volunteers. My dad went all out and I can't remember the details but my dad ended up in the hospital for 3 days. The little guy was a golden gloves champion.

That's exactly right there Ryan!!! The the trouble is when you know you've got it & can & have had to use it!!! It's an confidence in yourself that's hard to have at times!! You know you can do it with your own two hands & don't need anybody else!!! Trouble is, you do need others & more than just yourself to be happy in life!! It's a struggle that I've had all my adult life!! A cocoon that I can go into in a heartbeat & nobody can, or ever will, enter there with me!! My wife, my kids, nobody!! A lonely place, really!!! At least for me!!

in a streetfight a martial artist has 2 things going for him over the average "other guy": reflexes and fitness. you will very rarely use any of your learned blocks or kicks in a real fight but what you will use are the reflexes that you build up practising ant form of martial art regularly and the fitness and stamina you build up also count for a lot in a prolonged fight. i learnt this years ago i dont take my karate onto the street cos its practically worthless except for exhibitions but what i do take is trained reflexes and fitness. having said that i havent been in a fight for 7 years cos ive never been in a situation i havent been able to talk my way out of but its nice to know you can back up your words with action if pushed

Reply to rcj187

I have the fitness dude, that's what I'm relying on partly lol.

My friend and I decided to have a go at it so after tests we're gonne spar a bit and see where I stand (course we'll be training, not aiming to kill).

U guys mentioned someone who's willing to take the hits just to get close to you. In that case, what's your experience, cause that's a possibility.

No.

There's no reason for you to be fighting. None. Absolutely none. Fighting is for boys. Men defend themselves. So unless you think he's going to attack you then this shouldn't be an issue and even then you should be man enough to walk away.

That's my opinion.

I don't think you have a chance of winning based on what you've said, so walk away. You'll win in two ways by walking away. One you don't get your ass kicked, and two it'll show that you're more mature than him. It'll drive him crazy.

If he does martial arts then odds are against that. He should have learned discipline and control along the way. If he's just an amatuer then you should really have no problem walking away from someone 60 pounds your junior. What the hell is he going to do?

The deck is stacked against you. One, if he does martial arts he's going to have quick reflexes and he'll see your moves before you even realize you're really doing them. Your moves will be like slow motion. I highly doubt you know how to punch, let alone kick correctly. Two, he will have the same amount of endurance or more than you. Three, size does not matter in martial arts. God help you if he knows pressure points.

Think about it. What in the world are you planning for? What good could possibly come from this? Why are you meeting or hanging out with him if he wants to kick your ass and why does he want to kick your ass? Maybe you did something to deserve it and then there's not much we can do to help you.

Safety in numbers. Don't you have friends that will cover your back. I've been in numerous situations where people would back down since they knew my friends would jump in or I would jump in. Very handy in bars.

Flamey I think you missed the point I was trying to make with the story I told you about my friend, the point I was trying to make was that my friend had taken Tai Kwon Do for years, and still got his ass whipped, so the Tai Kwon Do didn't do him any good in a real fight.

After everything calmed down I asked him how did this guy get the best of you, he told me he had tried two moves that he was proficient at, but they didn't stop the guy, and then he didn't know what to do fast enough to stop the guy from getting the best of him.

You see he was trusting those two opening moves to save his ass and when they didn't, we was shocked and didn't think fast enough to salvage the situation, and the guy got him on the ground, and thats not a good place for a Tai Kwon Do guy to be.

Just because a person has taken martial arts for years does not make them into Bruce Lee, a lot of people take martial arts because they flat out can't defend themselves and need something to give them ideas on what to do and the confidence to get it done, martial arts training is more about defense than offense.

Flamey, sometimes in life you have to stand up for yourself no matter what happens, I disagree with what DH has told you in just walking away, it doesn't surprise me that he would tell you something like that, after his story of punching some guy in the throat,

Quote :

When I was 16 I dropped a linebacker for Sonoma State with a quick shot to the throat. He was 325 lbs. Only time I ever used it. Very very impressive to watch a guy twice your size drop to his knees gasping for air. I was at work and gained infamous respect in a heartbeat, but I quit the job a few months later.


DH didn't walk away but advises you to, he's an ass and he knows it, and it definitely doesn't surprise me that I don't agree with him. Getting a bunch of friends around and expecting them to do your fighting I don't agree with that either, sounds like something a coward would do.

Heres my advice, stop worrying about it, and when the time comes if it does and you do have to throw down, if you get hit yes it will hurt, but it won't hurt that bad and you'll realize it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, let the pain turn to anger rush in close to him and kick his ass, believe it or not its pretty much just that simple, you have the ability to deal out punishment yourself, use it! But above all stop worrying about it, martial arts produces very few that would even consider having a fight like you're talking about, so it seems he may be missing the very things that would really make him a threat to you, and don't listen to anymore of DH's bullsh!t.
