What do most people do wrong in a fight?

No guard, keep jaw and head guarded, elbows in Not throwing straight punches Not returning to guard after striking Don't keep their eyes open Trying to kick above the waist in a street fight, punches are more likely to connect Trying to grapple on a hard surface, extremely dangerous, proceed with caution so you don't slam your head in Not maintaining proper footwork, must move in and out of range with feet, don't lunge No centered stance, if you maintain a lean you're off balance, I'll just kick your legs and trip you No head movement, protect your head, move No stamina, if you're out of shape you're going to likely lose No strategy or experience, if you don't know what you're doing you can die

Be aware of surroundings Be ready to get hit, try to counter Some say keep your shirt on but I disagree, if it's loose fitting take it off so it doesn't obstruct your vision if it's pulled over your head Run if you're able to Strike with palms if you can, knuckles and fingers aren't very durable, but in the end strike how you are most comfortable If striking with fist aim with larger knuckles, keep thumb wrapped under fist Be careful with hooks, you can strike with the outside of your fist and cause a nasty fracture Must lock wrist when punching You must fight dirty to live another day
