How to Win a Fight in a Hurry

We have all been there. You are minding your own business and someone (drunk or otherwise) decides that they want to pick a fight. You need to know how to defend yourself. I will be the first to admit that getting into a fight isn’t the brightest idea in the world, but sometimes you are left without any other options. I'm here to tell you how to make sure you come out on the winning side.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Fists and the ability to keep your cool.

1. The most important step in a fight is to act. Nobody ever won a fight by standing around hoping that an authority figure would come break the fight up. When you know you are in danger, you need to make the choice to act first.

2. Now that you have chosen to engage the person, you need to figure out what to do. People usually make the mistake of punching someone in the face (because that is what they always do in the movies), when you are usually better off hitting someone in the stomach. This will keep you from breaking your hand, and it will knock the wind out of the opponent. In 99% of fights, this will drop the other guy and get you out of harms way.

3. Know when to call it good. Nobody looks good by beating up on a downed fighter. If you drop the other guy, call it a day. You will have won the fight and won over the people watching you with your kindness.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't wait to get hit. Act first!
• It's usually better to hit someone in the stomach then in the head.
• Never fight if you don't have to.
• Never beat up on a downed fighter. You will look bad.
