Don't punch in a street fight?

[the1kidd03]

Actually, it's easier to break your hands or cut them in a fight then you might imagine. Unless you have chalice's built up on your knuckles. It's better to use a back fist, palm heel, etc. If you are throwing strikes to the head, chin, etc. I'm not just talking out of my ass either. Try hitting a heavy bag with no gloves. See how long it takes to tear the skin from your knuckles. When I studies Martial Arts, we used to condition our hands on special made boards.

I used to prefer heavy bag without gloves....I am forced to minimize my closed fist strikes now a days though, due to an injury, but it doesn't take much of a chalice to withstand it IMO...of course it's a "results may vary" sort of thing too

I have pretty, soft hands and would hate to injure them on someones face. If you know you have to fight, put gloves on- George

I wonder how the hands of the man in the black pants felt after this "fight:"

I'm definitely no fighting expert, but do whatever works best for you. Personally, I am going to do all that I can to avoid being involved in a traditional "street fight." That sounds too much like a fair fight to me.

In the slow-mo it looks like either a hammer-fist or knife-hand strike that caught the dude from ear to chin...goodnight.

It looks like a brachial stun. I've had it done to me enough in DT classes that I know it's effective. We never hit each other 100% with it but even at "training speed" it'll get your attention.

The Brachial stun will drop your ass quick!

That brings back a lot of hilarious memories. I can't tell you how many times when I was riding the bus I'd see the Deputies pulling on gloves and just pull my partner back.

To me it was a flashing neon sign to stand back and that I was about to have another patient to deal with.

Rep headed your way for putting a crap eating grin on my face and a deep chuckle, my wife just looked at me from across the room and was like WTH are you looking at

 

[the1kidd03]

the Brachial "stun" is an excellent option...DEFINITELY "catches your attention" even with minimal force....training must be careful though cuz it's relatively easy to "collapse" the esophagus

 

[grouse08]

its one of the most basic rules of boxing, yet one of the hardest to implant in a fighters mind...."KEEP YOUR CHIN DOWN!!!!" ive heard it a million times

yep, because its so counter intuitive.

 

[50bmgshooter]

camo pants, black shirt, pulling a knife on an unarmed person......sounds legit

CALLUS!!!

A Chalice is something you drink from...

LOL!

My Grandfather always said never hit someone with your hand unless you have to. Pick up something to hit them with, there is almost always something laying around...

LOL....I thought it looked odd, but I took his word for it and didn't double check it

Bullets will work, not sure WTF are bullits though...

Pipes, chairs, baseball bats, golf clubs, canes, etc, etc...

 

[Bill B]

Heck I'd even use a chalice if one was laying around...

I know for a fact that the Oktoberfest Steins work very well for ending a fight...

Not as good as a Polizei K9 though...

I think Bullitt was a police detective in some movie back in the day. A car chase happened or something.

Maintain your base, drive into their center of gravity, combat is not a straight line, use their momentum, use the entire force of your body against one portion of theirs, put them on the ground, gain a dominant position, break any portion of your enemy that resists you, go for the throat, and end the fight.

Just like anything else in life, there are pro's and con's to everything you do. The "trick" is to strike with the first and middle (pointer and middle finger) knuckles, as these are the most solid knuckles.
