Fighting is a common characteristic among human beings. Though there are different types of fight, street fighting is probably the most common. Know that street fighting is of two types: Individual and factional. The common causes of street fighting are disagreements, harassment or bullying. Here are some steps on how to fight and win:

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Identify the cause of likely fight. The reason could be trivial or serious.

  2. Step 2

    Stay cool and analyze the situation neutrally.

  3. Step 3

    Make sure you do not start fighting without a valid reason or if you are in the wrong.

  4. Step 4

    Indicate to the opponent(s) that you will attack physically if the situation demands. This may unnerve the opponent.

  5. Step 5

    Evaluate the developing situation swiftly. Think about your plus and minus points.

  6. Step 6

    Speedily assess the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent(s).

  7. Step 7

    Determine your strategy to overpower the rival(s). Remember that your greatest strength is a strong mindset. Keep on preparing mentally that you are going to win. Gear up your body parts to overpower the opponent and be a winner, rather than a loser.

  8. Step 8

    Know that one of the pre-fight options is to scare your opponent first by yelling strong words.

  9. Step 9

    Catch hold of the opponent before the real fight. Make him realize that you are not afraid of harming him if he does not withdraw at once.

  10. Step 10

    Strike the opponent with hands before he tries to attack you. Bang his face against a hard surface. Kick the opponent strongly so as to weaken him .

  11. Step 11

    Note the weak points of the opponent and strike to overpower him.

  12. Step 12

    Respond to any strikes with courage and confidence. Some of the common damaging moves are arm thrust, jump kick and vital throw.

  13. Step 13

    Avoid getting hit in a tender spot. Keep your mouth closed to help ensure that your teeth remain intact.

  14. Step 14

    Maintain proper balance of your body. Make sure you do not fall down at any stage.

  15. Step 15

    Continue to fight and retain control until the opponent apologizes.

  16. Step 16

    Take a stick or some handy tool and beat the opponent until he demonstrates defeat.

Tips & Warnings
  • Ignore the pain if you are being attacked. This will signal the opponent that you are quite strong.
  • Contact the police if the fight is taking a bad turn.
  • Fighting can be dangerous. It can cause permanent disability and even land you in jail.

on 3/18/2009 You can't assess someone you don't know, that guy could be a ninth level black belt, you just don't know. Always assume that everyone your fighting is an ex-Navy SEAL and can kill you at any time. What weak points? Unless the guy is a cripple they should be the same as they are for everybody else. Anywhere that you wouldn't want to be hit is a good place to hit them. Jump kicks are a really bad idea, keep your feet on the ground. Street fights quickly become wrestling matches, if your feet are up you'll end up down and you face WILL be kicked for your desire to look cool. Throwing people is a waste of time and unless your much bigger and properly trained it probably isn't going to work. I know that if you tried to throw me over your back I just puch you in the back of your neck, and then kick you in the head. I think the best place to aim for is the neck. Your not going to kill them unle

on 6/16/2008 I'm very sorry, but the only thing you got right is the last warning.
1) you shouldn't tell ur opponent that ur goin to attack him. that will put his gaurd up, and make him angrier
2) Stop beating up your opponent when you see he is too badly hurt to continue, not untill he apologises. if he is on d floor and you keep kicking him till he apologises then by law you are in the wrong by law, and you will be arested!

Take care when your fighting.

on 4/4/2008 nice article but you forget the most important thing! what if someone has much more physical strength than you ? and another thing that matters is your physical appearance, if you are muscular or really really overweight that can cause the other to lose confitence. U should mention that also weight matters, if you are fit, u must know if your muscular weight can fight a heavy guy.

on 10/24/2007 Beat him with a stick until he demonstrates defeat!! love it :)

but seriously, working urself up into a fearsome rage and staying calm and rational at the same time just doesn't work. One of the simplest ways to lift ur mood is to force urself to smile, it triggers chemical reactions that make u happy.. works the other way too.
