Take your fucking boxing classes ffs. Learn how to throw a punch please. Learn how to use your guard. Take some BJJ or judo classes Even some rudimentary shadow boxing and a little work on the heavy bag will make watching you fight in these little street matches a lot less cringe-worthy.
Sincerely, Somebody who does martial arts. Please. Don't go unless you know how to fight and take advantage of those mile wide openings these people give you. It's painful to watch.
These are just simple working class folk who want to be left the fuck alone. I am sure each street fight will teach them more than 1 month of paid classes, but they don’t want to fight. Now they have to. And I am sure they will learn.
No that’s just false, muscle memory comes from doing and training is just that. Getting into a fight if you never have will help expose you to the experience so it is easier to control the emotion and your head game but just because you fought a lot dont mean you reinforced proper technique and strategy if anything it is the opposite. A lot of people there were not committing to their punches or using their body effectively. Saw a lot of swinging of just the the arms and lowered hands.
Respect them, but take one day to learn the basics at the very least. It's really simple but even something like a guarding stance, keeping chin down, and thrusting your hip into a cross or hook is super quick and easy to learn and will save your ass from getting really hurt in a fight.
Be able to defend your wife, child, friends, and yourself. They and you deserve a fighting chance.
Every person should know basic fight technique. Someone squeezes your wife's ass in front of you or worse, you should be able to at least stand of chance of defending her.
You don't even have to take classes, just get a basic notion.
