If you just need to win the fight, don't hold back. Go for the eyes, look around for something to use as a weapon, whip off your belt if you have to. Crotch, Eyes, Kneecaps, Throat and the area right below the Ribcage are your best friends. Just make sure that if you fight him, that he's not going to tip the odds with a knife or some shit like that.
can i give you some advice? lets say you have the fight and win. despite winning you will carry some injury perhaps for a lifetime. now then , now you have won it won't be such a big deal to have another fight, one thing starts leading to another. before long you are going to get more injuries. do you know why most adults avoid fights? because it leads to injury, most adults understand this. the only adults you find fighting do it for money or because they are somehow deranged and feel the need to fight the world. if i were you i would just avoid the whole thing, if anything work smart whatever you do.
Holy sweet merciful crap, you've never been in a fight in your life, I can tell. Never go for the eyes. That's reserved for people who are trying to kill you. If it's a schoolyard brawl, this is way out of line. Don't use a weapon, or try to blow his knee, or anything of the sort. Even kicking the guy in the balls is a bad idea. Here's why: if this guy is more dangerous than you are, as you say, he's going to stop holding back when you have shown that you are no longer holding back. Fighting has a sort of honor code to it. Sounds strange, but it's definitely true. Keep your blows above the belt, and even if you lose, you'll have earned respect for taking your licks like a man. If you overcome this guy by permanently damaging his knee, outside of the guilt and other repercussions (legal charges, suspesion or explusion from school) that you'll face overtly...this guy's friends are going to make sure they pay you back real good for taking a fistfight too far and scarring their friend. I mean...I would if this guy were my friend, and my friends would do the same for me. You'd end up hospitalized. So, in short, don't fight dirty unless you really need to. Best advice I can give you if you've never gotten into a fight before...expect to get grabbed and the fight to hit the floor. Happens most of the time. Don't be afraid to use knees or elbows up close, these can hurt way more than fists (and you probably won't hurt yourself like you can if you don't know how to throw a punch [note on this:thumbs on the outside!]). Grappling's a hard art to master, and if this guy's on the wrestling team forget it...he's got the experience and conditioning needed to kill you, if he wanted (unless he's retarded and thinks a headlock actually goes around the head). Also really hard to give pointers over the internet! Simple, easy to remember advice: don't let him catch your arms, keep them bent slightly if he does and try to wriggle out. If he goes for your throat, to choke you out...tuck your chin to your chest. Hard as you can. If he does get you in a lock, it usually means he's close and his hands are occupied, so rather than try to pull his arms off you if he's stronger, that's where the elbows come in. Under the arms or in the guts are usually good places. Try to get him once, hard, and then escape, as it'll be much easier at that point. If you do manage to hit the guy (pay real close attention to this) keep swinging. If you get a good shot in, his brain's going to start thinking about that last punch, just in time for the next one to be arriving. If you can get in 2-3 good shots while his brain is one step behind, you might just win. Even if you don't, you'll feel really good about them afterwards. First fight I was in as a kid I was so surprised that I staggered the other guy with a shot to the side of his face, I forgot to keep going, and when he recovered I was back to square one again. Just do your best, because most fights I had as a kid, it didn't matter if I won, it just mattered that I showed up.
Oh, and like Guy said...most adults don't fight because there's other ways around it. It may have sounded like I had a perpetually bloody nose from the ages of 13-17 from my last post, but even then, I always told people, "Look man, I don't want to fight you. I don't want to fight." Often it does work. Sometimes it doesn't. I understand that there are some circumstances that can't be avoided. Just make sure you've exhausted all your options. Good luck.
You have not said why this person wants to fight you. Perhaps it is all just some misunderstanding that you can clear up. Since you do not have any training in martial arts, you can count on the fact that you will likely get hurt if you get into this fight. Your best bet is to avoid the situation. With all that said, if the fight is impossible to avoid the LAST thing you want to do is fight fair. You want to end the fight fast. This fight fair and take your lickings like a man crap is complete bullshit. This is not some tv show where everyone will respect you for putting up a good fight. This is real life. If you must fight then fight to win. Use your palm to strike, not your fist, unless you know how to throw a proper punch. Limit your kicks to the groin or knee area. Palm strikes to the face/nose area. The web of your hand to strike the throat. Don’t be afraid to pull hair, gouge the eyes or even bite if that is what you have to do. Knee and elbow strikes are also good techniques. It is really impossible to give you good fighting techniques over the internet. Get a book on self defense from a bookstore or library. It is not the best but it is better than nothing. Practice these techniques with a friend if you can. At some point you might want to consider studying a martial art. I prefer Ju- jitsu (The Japanese style) and I absolutely love it. Aside from the self defense aspect it will improve your health, confidence and over all well being. Best wishes to you.
Boxer's refer to the chin as "the button". If you have ever seen anyone get knocked out in boxing or ufc or even your local schoolyard, 95% of the time(i pulled that out of my ass) its a good solid hit to the chin. I'm not lying. look up some knockout clips on youtube and you'll see that a stiff punch to the chin will put you down quick. just give yourself a decent tap on the chin and you'll know. good luck. ps- elbows hurt more than fists and don't hurt nearly as bad to deliver, however you do have to get in the belly of the beast to deliver one.
Along the lines of "don't fight unless you have to"; try to kill him. I mean kill, dead, coffin, etc. If you are as trained as much as I am (none), don't get into fights that aren't important enough to kill over. Fighting to hurt him enough (how much is "enough"?) is something for experts (not me). For untrained folks like me (and you?), fighting is for killing. (That theory has worked for me; no fights, no scars, no corpses.)
I don't think advocating murder in what amounts to a fight in the parking lot after school is rational. People get into brawls all the time, at sporting events, outside of bars, over parking spaces, etc. Suggesting that you try to kill someone, as opposed to hitting them a few times so they get the message, is sociopathic. And, uh... Sorry guy, but I live in the real world too. Try biting, gouging, and groin kicking a guy who's bigger and stronger than you are, and the gloves come off. Ever been kicked in the groin while in a fight? It hurts, and you get a little nauseous, but that bit about it completely incapacitating people is the tv show nonsense you're talking about. Assuming it even connects, because it's pretty easy to not stand with your legs spread and your hips squared like a fucking moron asking for a foot to the nuts. I've been in a couple of scraps like this fellow's facing, and that is the reality of it...if you fight dirty then he's going to play by the same rules as you seem to be (oh my! I bet you didn't imagine that was possible!), and given that you're apparently at a disadvantage, that's probably not a great idea. This sort of affair is an extension of the schoolyard brawl, or backyard wrestling or what-have-you...not someone mugging in a dark alley (where your tactics would certainly make sense...you're fighting for life and limb). You also seemed to gloss over the whole going to jail/being kicked out of school because you jammed your thumb through someone's eyeball. Way to go, you'll get plenty of time to practice those fighting skills with the inmates! And unlike some, I'm not speaking from the apparent experience of having learned jiu jitsu from reading a book. What was that bit about bullshit again?
Take a Karate class. The first things you'll learn is how to block a punch. A blocked punch wont hurt you. Learn a opening to set him up for a good shot at his ribs. A good side sweep to get him off his feet, once he's on the ground, he's yours. Fighting has no rules. If your advisory wants to hurt you, get your best shots in first. One thing you can do is work on a heavy-bag to learn how to get the most power out of your punches.
Assuming you aren't completely overmatched (in which case, regardless of internet tips, you're going to get beat up). a)Don't go in halfway. If you're going to hit him, hit him more than once and don't hold back on the swing b)Throw the first punch. and c)Make sure you have friends there to pull him off if he gets you on the ground and starts going to town on you.
Try to get all your hate to the surface, try to think of him as the person you hate most, try to clear the rest of your feelings and thoughts, don't fear him. only center at the hate. Then like spooner said "Throw the first punch" and dont give him any recall time, and in any case try avoiding punches from him. Also be sure he doesn't grab you..(believe me, he will try this) keep distance. most important is that when you got him down..you stop with it and just leave him, finishing off some-one wont give you a good reputation, there is no honor or satisfaction in beating him if he already lost.
First off let me clarify a few things. I did not learn Ju-jitsu from a book! I am a trained martial artist with experience in Ju-jitsu, Aikido, and Wado-Ryu. I have studied the art since I was 10 years old. I trained because I was in the same situation as the original poster. The only reason I suggested the guy get a book on self defense is because (for now)it is better than nothing. Secondly, you seemed to mis the part where I said he should avoid the fight. It is why I asked him, “Why does this guy want to fight you?” From the facts we have so far this does not sound like something worth fighting over. However, if he finds himself in a position where he has no choice but to defend himself. He must do whatever is necessary to avoid serious injury, hospitalization or even death. As for the consequences you mentioned, you are correct in part. But he would face the same consequences if he fights “fair” or “dirty”. Now days schools have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to school fights. They are not going to say well you fought fair so we are not going to suspend you. Criminal prosecution is a possibility however, (many states have differing laws on this) if he does everything he can to avoid the fight and he does nothing to start the fight it would be self defense. Again, fighting fair or dirty does not change this. We both seem to be looking at this from different perspectives. Your perspective seems to be that this is nothing more than a school yard brawl where the worst that can happen is that the guy gets a black eye and a bruised ego. Times are not what they once were, these school yard fights are vicious, bloody and very dangerous. Anyway, I look forward to debating this with you more but I have to get going. For now I will just say that I hope this guy does not get into the fight and can find another way resolve the situation. Best wishes
I totally agree with you. I don't know why this is.. maybe people get more and more egocentric every day with less and less empathie or whatever. Some months ago a friend of my was being awaited after school..well.. i was with him to "protect him", so they started taunting at us.. and it ended up in a fights between me and 2 opponents. I had like 7 stitches at my head, and one of the others had a very painfull face for a few weeks, he didn't even come to school for a week after the fight. Lucky a girl came between during the fight.. but it could have ended up much and much worse.. one of the guys looked like he was trying to kill me. Well..after all it ended up pretty well.. they didn't got very popular by the 2vs1 fight.. and i got treatenby a very beatifull girl (the one that came between) . But it happens alot here in belgium that people are beaten to death or..almost, mostly these are racial acts (from both sides) .. and it gets worser every day.
If it's just a matter of pride, learn to deal with it and walk away. Nobody really wins a fight, both sides lose. If you can not avoid it, follow three simple rules: 1. Hit him first 2. Hit him hard 3. Hit him with something I hope it doesn't come to that.
He wants to fight me cause i was talkin shit bout his girlfriend who doenst like me and baslcy he just doensty like me at all and i hate him
