Self Defence Street Fighting
WHAT IS STREET FIGTHING? The notion of Self Defence Street Fighting involves
being prepared for any violent, brutal and criminal
act committed against a man or woman.
In the 1970s David Burt arranged in California series
of multi-style street fighting workouts, focused on
finding the best ways to handle violence in any form,
in any environment, with any tools developed. A decade
later he was able to organize his street fighting knowledge
into a comprehensive and distinct system.
Street fighting is called sometimes
real fighting, street self-defence
or reality defence, because
it distinguishes martial arts classes environment from
a real situation when a person is suddenly threatened
or assaulted by one or many, who do not apply any rules.
In addition this person does not necessary is in his/her
best condition (and state of mind), has pain or generally
is unable to use self-defence skills with a successful
outcome.
Here are some self-defence issuers that are taken into
consideration while preparing for an possible assault
that can for instance take place in a street, and with
an outcome of being able to stay away from both jail and
hospital: In order to avoid a street fight or
safeguard your person, first, you need to be able to
detect a possible dangerous situation and know how to
not do anything that would lead to a street fight. It
includes the dressing style, posture, stride, actions
and words.
If
despite your efforts to avoid a confrontation or attack,
some criminals or bullies are determined to pick on
you as their victim, you still have a chance to defuse
the situation, as long as you are more than on arm length
distance and still talking to them. You can verbally
de-escalate the situation or show that you know how
to defend yourself. Only when all that does not work
or you have ignored those first two steps – to
Detect and to Defuse, the situation will probably require
your skills from the martial arts training, although
you have to remember that your knowledge learned in
martial art school can be useless in real life.
You need to override your fear and strike your opponent
using techniques such as throw or takedown, restrain,
submit, hurt, (choke, destroy limb, KO), and be able
to run. Distracting and stunning the assailant will
give you time to chose a proper technique, so you do
not bear the full repercussion of the law once the altercation
has ended.
