Once in a while you’re bound to be stuck in a street fight, a confrontation or an unavoidable aggressive situation. If there’s an option to do that – the best approach usually is to walk away from the fight.

However, if you must use your arms and legs here’s the best way to do it:

Damage to “soft spots” (face, temples, throat, kidneys, solar plexus, etc.) may eventually incapacitate your opponent. Scratching, biting, clawing, spitting, pulling hair and attacking eyes can also be used. You are defending yourself from a violent aggressor, not fighting in a ring with rules. Use anything you can to ensure your safety. Poke the eyes, and if there are others ganging up on you, hit with outstretched fingers into the front of the throat.

Hitting the nose blurs the eyes and causes pain, and it just might leave your opponent dazed long enough to get away.

Consider using low kicks if you are at arm’s reach. Low kicks should be aimed towards shins, ankles, the insides or back of calves or thighs and knee caps (if their legs are straight). Do not aim higher than knee or waist height because they will grab your leg.

Attacks from behind are difficult to see and avoid, and in a real fight, it is not cowardly to strike from behind. Watch your back, and attack that of your opponent(s).

Head butt your opponent fast and hard. Bring the top your forehead down across his nose and face. The “Glasgow Kiss” has defeated many experienced fighters not prepared for it. It’s your best chance instead of punching and slapping an enraged meathead like an idiot.

Learn to grapple. A successful grapple can put you in control, even if the attacker is much stronger or faster than you. One way is waiting for them to make a move, and then counterattack. Grappling as a counterattack almost never fails, if done correctly.
