This.

Leg kicks for days (no chance anyone is getting off with that, even a normal person has a chance to block a headkick/body), striking at a distance (and teep to keep them there, kneecap or body/chest) and elbow/clinch because most street fights end up hugging and falling to the ground.
I say falling because it's rarely a takedown. I think a lot of it is either there or not, naturally. A lot of people are all mouth anyway in my experience, I end up smiling or laughing in their face and they end up piping down suddenly once they realise they don't have you scared.

Even just 3 months doing Muay Thai you will get the better of most of your average people if need be.


DISCLAIMER: I'm from England and pretty safe from guns, possible odd knife or bar but no guns, lol.

or you can also carry something in your car that isnt a weapon, but that can be used as one, use your imagination

as you said, dissuasion is always the best way to win, as soon as the fight begins, you already lost (it becomes a lose-lose situation)

the thing with martial arts is that they give you an advantage, increasing your chances of winning, but you can always still lose. the human body isnt a tank and your cant harden your body that much, only your technique. a mistake from u or a lucky hit form your opponent and its ripperoni

I try and stress this so much to people, they think some training makes you invincible and a few people I know in the past have started trouble in town thinking I'd finish it for them.
A woman could knock me out, as could a 12 year old kid if chance/physics are on their side.

I've been punched by bare knuckles and it hurt less than a random jab with 10oz gloves on, physics is a funny thing.

Similar to people dieing in a car crash at 30, and someone walking away at 100.
