		<description>I have a small body, weigh about 60 kilos, but i go to the gym and i have a fair amount of strength.I try to avoid fights but somehow they jus come for you. I took some underground taekwondo classes in high xul and eventually i got really good. I&#039;m quite confident with my ability to defend myself and i have been in quite a number of fights, i&#039;v neva really lost. 

But guys what i&#039;m really driving at is, if you are drunk you are simply defenseless. On Saturday i got a punch on my lip for the first time in my life without even seeing it coming, in fact i didnt even know i had been hit, luckily the cops were close by and they pulled out and took us to the police station.I had taken spirits and could hardly stand. but if i wasnt to drunk i&#039;d have probly used some of my techniques.

If someone is attacking you, immediately put on a guard by holding your hands in front of your face one in front of the other with your fists clamped, make backward movements,and step to the side if the guy attepmts to come heavily, use his momentum to push him of balance, if you do it well like me sometimes, he might actually fall, don&#039;t follow him on the ground let him get up, he&#039;ll get tired and lose focus. Then start hitting the open spots, his nose preferably. If you happen to duck his punches try to get him in the abbs using very short jabs. but i dont trust ducking i prefer to block.

Make use of the opportunities that you get to grab sensitive areas, like the adam&#039;s apple,pull the collar bone,its also a plus if you can get his arm joints or inner biceps.. When u start hitting try to make sure every move you make is a hit, use your elbow, knees, fists and head but make sure you are not the one whose being attacked. Its hard to accurately how but basically,i win by fighting defensively and avoiding being hit and attacking when i have the chance, neva be the one who is attacking unless you are sure your opponent has grown weak.

And somehow being a good fighter sometimes comes naturally,like having quick reflexes, being flexible,being fast and Genes. My grandpa (dad&#039;s father) was invincible. My dad is also not bad he   knocked out this other really huge guy flat i was amazed.</description>

		<description>Got in a bit of a ruck last night (my first actual bar fight) and some of these pointers would have come in pretty handy if I&#039;d have known them, not for winning the fight, but just to avoid injury. I&#039;m happy to say I wasn&#039;t the starter...another guy attacked me from behind, and we ended up in the middle of the dance floor throwing punches and grappling. It wasn&#039;t going so bad until one of his mates came in behind, at the same moment that we got smothered by a bunch of other guys trying to break things up...realized I was pinned by the &#039;helpers&#039; with a guy in front and a guy behind throwing punches, and with my arms trapped so I couldn&#039;t do much back...managed to somehow drag the whole group back to the wall, got my back to it and got out of there, using a bar stool to fend of the first guy whilst keeping an eye out for the second.

It was actually rather fun :) A huge rush being in a close quarters battle for the first time, and managed to block or dodge all but six of the hits.</description>

		<description>Great article.  But what about the throat punch?  A jab to the throat will but any off there game for a little while.  Sure, it can be hard to reach, but as effective as a kick in the balls.</description>

		<description>Truely I always carry a 72inch Katana on my back and a 15inch Tanto on me 24/7. In fact I was cornerd by a gang all I did was pull the katana out and slice one in the arm and I think it may have actualy came off and they ran but remember to clean the blood off the blade before sheathing it and do not use it on anyone that dose not deserve it. Also if you can go for the bigger one so they know you are serious that if they come near you that you will not hesitate to kill them if they insist on standing in your way.</description>

		<description>You left out one other technique for the large, like you and I.  Walk right into the guy grab his face with an open hand and push him backward gripping to direct him to the floor. When he starts to fall, be in the now. Flip him as he falls, so he hits the floor face down.

Sit on him with his arms pinned at his sides with your knees.  Then say &quot;I do not really want to fight, are we finished now?&quot;

If he is not cooperating, slap the up ear sharp and quick, with an open hand and burst his eardrum.  This should put an end to it.  Only done this one time.  Did not have to hit the ear, as he was only 155lbs, and I am 240.  He was sober enough to see he was in a bad spot. The ear drum grows back if you do have to hit him.  No blood on the knuckles, and no black eyes.

Cheers, to getting along, and having fun without fighting, Phil  aka adventureboy7

Oh there is a variation if you are large and quick, as he falls onto his back you can give him a quick tap to the nose by releasing your grip and using a quick short jab.  Once again no black eyes, maybe a blooded nose.  With Aids and Hep C, the ear is the safer target.  With this technique you let him go the floor and you stay on your feet, and as you suggest, take a few steps back towards the closest wall.  Preferably one with a door in it.</description>
