in a fight? hell yueah.
someone picks a fight with me i will kick in the nuts, go for the eyes whatever. I want to get home unhurt.
But once you go for the balls/eyes, they're going to go for the balls/eyes. And if you were in a position where you needed to go for the balls/eyes, your opponent is most likely going to hurt you a lot worse once he does the same.
Yeah...you have to know WTF you are doing. I love the big fat dudes that think they can just crush anyone as well as the little wirey guys that think they are too quick for a larger opponent and then all the people in between that think since they have these awesome moves in their mind they can simply execute them in real life.
The fights these types end up in are funny to watch in a bar as more often than not these guys are the actual ones to start a fight where just some joking / busting chops is happening. Like someone tripping or dropping their drink...of course someone is going to rib you for it...next thing you know Neopolian Dynamite is throws a kick at Joe Goldengloves for laughing at him. The results are hilarious.
In a real fight you want to shut it down asap, there is a high level of chance that even if you win it you are going to wind up pretty hurt yourself. I have always gone quickly inside and went for a subdue, if I think there is a chance the guy is going to keep coming I will put him close to unconscious. Dancing around and holding back is just going to open one up for injury. That said, there are a lot more people taking these UFC type classes...there is a world of difference fighting the average dude vs someone that trains even once per week.
There is also a huge danger of buddies jumping in though so unless you have back up with you as well it's best to just go for a spectacular crippling blow (not neccessarily permanently maiming someone, but that's always a risk)...it's going to suck to be the antagonist, but chances are his buddies are not going to want to risk the same injury. You do have to realize that you better make it work the first time or they may try it to you.
Strikes to the crotch are problematic though, for one most people can't throw a kick properly even if they think they are Bruce Lee at home....and second it's a natural reaction for a male to cover their crotch when a strike is coming in. Pepper spray is also a problem unless you have it already out. If I were a mugger, as soon as someone went into their purse or worse trying to dig into one of their pockets I'd knock them the f' out. I'd have no idea if it were your wallet, pepper spray or a freaking hammerless taurus you were going for...either way it'd be safer for me to find out myself. To a pro, most pepper sprays are inadequate...these guys purposely expose themselves to it...in quite a few martial arts dojos they do the same thing. A taser is a much better choice today, but still not 100%
It's hard to call the shots in an unseen fight, but I knew I couldn't get them to the ground and under control I'd feign some obvious attacks to get them to open up some pressure points that I could hit...an open handed stike to the ear is extremely effective as is a hard strike behnd the ear/jaw and under the nose. You really don't want to target the throat as you can kill someone and more than likely a manslaughter charge would stick against you. I'd try to stay as close inside as I could making their punches not so effective. If I ended up against a guy that knew how to use elbows and knees well, I'd probably be outmatched right now.
All that said, my first action is to avoid the fight. Someone can call me names or whatever the fvck problem they have. Chances are the reason behind it is they are jealous of something going on in my area of the place. Me fighting them is just going to take me away from the fun I am having as well as set me up for a potential life changing injury. You can walk away from a fight a far bigger man than fighting in one if you chose your words correctly.
