My thinking before, was to wait until they inevitably go to take off their shirt. Then strike.


I'm only asking this because it's one of those things I never knew. And it might be handy one day.

Depends on the punch. Assuming you are good at shifting your weight, I would slam a punch into his body (preferably the liver). The overwhelming majority of people will drop from that alone, especially punk ass teenagers.

His advice isn't terrible. If you're looking to drop a vulnerable opponent, a solid body punch can be as effective, if not more so, than anything to the face.

I'm just saying if you HAD to fight and were in that situation, that's one of the better punches to throw. I don't know many people, outside of well trained fighters, who can take a punch to the liver and handle it well.

Personally if it was me, I wouldn't even fight. Or more likely, I wouldn't even be in this situation in the first place.

Maybe, but the balls are easier and more effective IMO. In the OP's situation I'd just hit the balls, knee him/drag him around a couple of times, elbow to the back of the head, sit on him, draw my knife (a 3" spring-assisted folder) and hold him till the cops arrived. Or at least that's how it would hopefully go.

More likely case is that there will be at least 2 ghetto douchebags involved, in which case the best option would be to draw my knife to give them a little pause and run. Even more likely is that I'd never be in said situation in the first place.

If you're bigger/stronger than them, I imagine putting them in a choke hold would work.

Otherwise, if you're the speedy type, run like hell....

Or, worst case scenario, you are in crap shape, and they look stronger than you, if you really fear for you life, kick them right square in the nuts, and then run like hell

Quickly get into a perfect horseback stance, then make sure that he swings over his head to your head. Capture his downward swinging arm with a well placed X block then *gain wrist control* and put a Glock in his face. Maintain wrist control and keep that Glock in his face and you can do anything you want to him.
