Do not think that this article is an attempt to encourage you to be aggressive or distrust others. But each of us can find himself in a situation where the power of words, beliefs and reason turns out to be meaningless against someone’s fists and anger. Of course, normal people rarely like to fight, unless they earn it in sports. But in the conditions of the modern world, everyone should be able to fend for themselves. But how? Fighting right is not as easy as it sounds.
First of all, let's figure out when to use force. The situations are actually different, and before you hit a person, you must be completely sure that you cannot do without it. In which cases there is no doubt:
- if a person swings at you or your companions;
- if he sticks with threats and does not respond to reasonable arguments;
- if he is trying to take your property.
There are times when it is better to run away rather than engage in hand-to-hand conflict, especially if you do not know how to fight properly. There are always ways to retreat on the street, and in the event that you are fast enough and there are no satellites with you who can’t escape, it’s better, of course, not to expose
yourself to excessive risk and retire.
What if a fight is inevitable? The ability to fight back is largely dependent on your psychological attitude. If you think at the time of the attack that you are now hurting another person, then you are focused on the wrong things. The blow will turn out soft, and you yourself will become a simple target for your offender. Do not feel sorry for the person who has become an aggressor towards you: you protect your life and personal independence. Your blow carries justice, not pain.
Remember that a person is very dependent on circumstances, and he will learn to fight if conditions require it. Even if everyone offended you at school, and there was liberation from physical education, this does not mean that you are not able to stand up for yourself, even if you don’t know how. To fight properly does not mean to have excellent
physical fitness. There are some useful tips for street fights:
- if possible, get rid of clothes that bother you or in which you can get confused (including scarves and ties);
- keep calm and calm, look the enemy directly in the eye - there is a chance that he will be scared and retreat, or simply lose his former self-confidence;
- evaluate the situation, see if there is a stick or other object nearby that you can resort to in case of emergency;
- calculate the path to retreat if you have several opponents.
Do not forget that it is very important to clench your fist correctly: press four fingers to the palm of your hand and close with the thumb on top. Tighten your fist only directly upon impact, otherwise you will quickly exhale. Movements must be accurate, but not tense. Focus as much as possible on the object of your aggression; it is better to mark in the most vulnerable places, such as groin, face, neck. If you fall, but the opponent continues to strike, cover your head with your hands and try to stand up. The outcome of the battle largely depends on your self-confidence, so do not lose your temper.
Now you know
how to fight. Let's hope you never have to put this knowledge into practice. In any case, remember that there is nothing more valuable than human life.
