You are backed into a wall and forced into a street fight, you can’t run like a lill bitch and you have no weapons on hand, what strike, td or finish do you do attempt first?

My RSM showed a few of us the “fight stopper” when we had a weekend out in town during basic training (after recruit course)
It’s if they get too close (and he said if they did, you already fucked up) - and it was a knee to balls, strike to throat and head butt all at the same time (or at least the first two simultaneous and head butt in quick succession)
Viable
but for me, the correct answer is different based on your attributes, my range makes a long teep to the upper body or a stinging jab/ or lead left hook ko finish in orthodox stance the correct first strikes to implement. I’ve ko’ed someone with a jab no gloves. Keeping hands low enough to stuff a td but staying springy and kinetic linking.

Go for the finish with every maneuver other than set ups/traps. It’s a street fight you should aim to finish in under 30 seconds, preferably 10.

Yeah the fight stopper was if you had a lapse in situational awareness and suddenly dude is nose to nose with you
Of course, ideally, something from a longer range is preferable
If they’re aware they’re in a fight and ready to go? a jab I guess.
If they’re talking shit and splaying their arms around and sticking their chin out while walking forward like dumb aggressive people tend to do? a hook (either hand is fine) or a cross.
I hit hardest in close tho and bring in elbows and knees. Whoever lands first in a street fight if both guys have power, or a good td which can be the most devastating on concrete.
watch his right hip as he throws the cross
That’s a master of his craft at work
If in grabbing distance like when a dunk grabs your shirt, grab his with your left and fire an right elbow to his face while pulling him in
He will drop
These type of situations just make me see red and black out. Won’t even come to until several hours later.
It’s just pure instinct and survival. Something primal.
So a jab, a cross or a hook. Thanks for narrowing it down ![]()
Yes, its almost like fighting is situational or something
Agreed. The only correct answer here is “It depends”.
If I feel like shit could pop off I position myself for the kill even though I do it in an unassuming way. That’s key.

This, but I’ve grabbed a handful of hair to control their head. Or a double handful and drive a knee.
The best actual way to win a street fight is to work on your cheap shot and leave nothing up to chance.
Them or you.

Go for eyes.
Cant attack what you can’t see.
Full chimp is the best way.
