Street Fight fear is a natural thing specially if you do not know any self-defense moves and techniques. If a fight is unavoidable, make sure that you do not show that you are afraid as this will make your opponent's confidence go high and more likely to attack you. You should learn basic self defense and boxing as this will help you win and end fights in just a few seconds.

Hey Tony great video as always. I got 1 question for you tho. How big impact would psychological warfare have on a fight? Both profesionally and on the street. things like insulting the opponent or my personal favorite laughing like the joker. I just imagine that it would be terrifying for the opponent to hit you in the face and all they get back is a wide smile and laughing.

If you lose, you may: - die - be severely injured - be slightly injured - be embarrassed in front of people you care about - lose personal possessions If you win, you may: - kill the other person/people - severely injure the other person/people - slightly injure the other person/people - just be fine and get an ego boost So probably 9 times out of 10, something bad will happen (like getting hurt or arrested) even if you win.

Street fights never end well. If someone attacks you in the street, do what you can to defend yourself, but get out of that situation as quickly as possible. There is no referee, and you should assume that your attacker has the worst intentions ... fear and anxiety are natural defense mechanisms. Nothing to be ashamed of.

@oneoranota 10 күн бұрын

Imo the best attitude, if you are trained, is to try everything to descalate. The more confident you are, the more leverage you have to avoid fighting. Stress and adrenaline is what gets you into shitty situations. After years of pondering the paradox of training but eventually avoid fighting "opportunities", I have come to this obvious conclusion: you either don't train and get fcked, or you train and go home without wasting your time, energy and health in a stupid fight' This is the endgame. Tldr : the more you train, the less you fight. Sweat saves blood.

I can give you a trick I used, and I am a non trained fighter. It worked for me, although it was many years ago (I am 65). When I was young, I used to copy the movement of Muhammad Ali, his footwork, his jabbing, his clinching. It actually worked for me in a street fight. The guy who fought me tried to end it quickly with easily timed haymakers, and I kept just out of distance. What this guy did not want to do is fight for 5 minutes, and after throwing 3-4 punches as hard as he could, he was huffing and puffing. He fatigued himself and gave up after about 2 minutes of chasing me around. I didn't land anything either, but I controlled my breathing and didn't exhaust myself and he did. When he turned around to go home, someone in the crowd watching said, "That guy shouldn't have fucked with a trained boxer." I was no such thing.

Tony, as a kid I was fearless, would literally fight anyone without much care as I knew I had good hands and good trainers. As an early adult, working at clubs or just hanging out at clubs and pubs with friends, I was always worried I'd knock someone out or injure them to the point I'd go to jail and get sued. But you and I both know there are time where we've got to take that risk and close someones mouth or get involved to stop them from hurting others.

@mrhoneystinger3676 10 күн бұрын

Another fear is our innate ability to NOT want to hurt someone else. Example, if an untrained person were to press, say Tony, into a fight. Tony would figure out real quick how soon he could end it. Yet, if the guy keeps pushing, the fear of hurting him kicks in, because the clear loser won't stop. Make sense? Great work as always Tony!

After I started seriously training I never got in another streetfight. From 19 to now 50 over 30 years. Some or a lot of that is how you carry yourself, a lot less fear and just not wanting to deal with it. And also just having no interest in proving anything. You do that in the gym and the ring. Easy to give someone a 'win' or an out and de-escalate, doesn't hurt my pride a bit.

No matter how skilled, experienced, fearless, you should always try to avoid fighting. One small slip, or you hit someone and they smash their head, and you will be in prison. Everything is being recorded, that's evidence against you, if you attack someone, without verifiable provocation, possible jail time, lawsuits, reparations, monetary judgements..... Or you could just be shot, or jumped from behind, permanently damaged by an injury...... I'm an old man of 59, and I'm sure that my martial arts training might save me in certain situations. I'm also much wiser than my 25 year old self, that wasn't on board with just walking away. Your brain is you ultimate weapon, sometimes your best physical attribute is using your legs to get you out of danger, and I don't mean by kicking someone else.

Training 100% gets rid of fear. Couple guys tried to jump me one night, pulled out a weapon. No training I actually managed to disarm the guy with a head butt and fend off the others only to get jumped by 20 of them on the way home and ended up a blink a way from death by the end of it. I developed ptsd from it and what’s constantly hyper vigilant. I decided to do something about it and went to a boxing gym and became obsessed. I wasn’t interested in competing , quite a few MMA guys there and just learned like a sponge. Main goal was to become an absolute force. Absolutely loved sparring was happy to go light and relished in the sessions with the types that wanted to throw their weight around. Over time I became very proficient and later on when I did get involved in street fights (never sought them out) it just became reflex, no thinking, just act. It really re-wires you psychologically. Dreams where you feel helpless and punches do absolutely absolutely nothing we’re replaced by hyper violent dreams where attackers didn’t stand a chance. Got treated for the PTSD but the hyper vigilance is a permanent side effect. Although it’s no longer fear driven but more of a tool to become hyper aware of the environment.

I think there's a huge difference between consensual fighting and non-consensual fighting; those experiences aren't transferrable at all. For one thing, the danger of "getting hurt" in a street fight is on a whole other level. And I'm not trying to sound like a tough guy here, but I'm a lot more afraid of accidentally killing someone than getting hurt myself. I have control over how I react in that situation; but if some stupid kid takes a wide swing, slips and cracks his head or neck the sidewalk, there's nothing I can do about it, but authorities and his family are still going to look at me as the guy with the combat sports licenses who got involved in his dead. I think that is genuinely terrifying.

One thing I've realized as I've gotten older is that my fear almost always came from being humiliated. And when I was younger I never backed down from a fight because I WAS AFRAID to do so. So as I've gotten older, I've realized that not being a coward USUALLY meant I had to be willing to walk away from unnecessary altercations. And one interesting thing I found was that in the 2 situations I had to defend myself in the last 10-15 years I actually was not nervous, but pretty composed because so much of the fear I felt in the past revolved around being humiliated

I havent had a street fight in about 20 years, it used to happen occasionally then I realised it was because of the places I was going to, the people I was with, my own ego and allowing other people to control my emotional response. The amount of situations youll encounter in life where you cant walk away will be minimal at best. Going home to your family in one piece or without a conviction should be your top priority at all times.

Unless it is absolutely necessary to fight outside I just walk away even if someone has a big attitude. These days fights outside are much different then they used to be. When I got into fights in my younger years it was over when the other bloke or me laid down. Nowadays you get kicks to the head when you are down. I just walk away take my anger with me put on some gloves and let the heavybag have it. No one gets harmed or killed no arrests. Life is just easier this way. So don't be scared to fight but if you can just walk away. And reading all these comments makes me feel proud to be a member of the boxingcommunity. No big talks just common sense.✌🏻

Now come to find out im not the only one out of everyone i was around that was very nervis but i hid it well as i talked a good one and backed it up if i had too but i would take fear and bury it deep down and handle my buisness . But i felt like other people were luckyer then me because they are not nervis about anything so i made sure i showed no weakness. Where i come from even if you are not good at fighting as long as you will fight weather you win ,lose ,or draw you will be respected. As i git older and more experianced in boxingbi figured out that EVERYONE that fights will be nervis as i am and like me they too bury it deep down because thats what a man does when its time to fight. If i had youtube around when i was growing up it wouldnt have took me so long to learn things especally about things men dont admit to one another.

Tony is right. A bully came at me. Instigating me. I told him to back off, I don't want to fight you. He persisted in his bravado and insults. Due to my extensive training, but mostly due to my diet change....I crapped my pants. The guy decided to walk away. Thanks Tony! Shit happens and I am thankful for your techniques. :D

Good morning Tony. Thank you for everything that you do. I notice the free-standing punching opponent that you're using and would ask for your advice regarding the best thing I could buy for an ordinary - but very fit - guy who wants to practice punching moves and techniques, but in a small house. Also, would I need to buy gloves or would wraps be ok? Your advice would be very much appreciated.

I grew up doing a bit of boxing and on to powerlifting. Something develops deep inside you where it is hard to back down from confrontations . Im certainly no hard case but something used to come up like a volcano. Probably fear to be honest. I am now 54 and over the moon that younger lads no longer bother me. I am just an old man sitting in the pub with Guinness crisps and a cheese cob.. this way of life is far better

Hey Tony; what are your thoughts on Artur Betebiev? A.B. likes to come on after the 5th round. I think a boxer with good power could settle him down and keep him at bay? What do you think is needed to beat A.B.?

I have been in one fight in my 55 years of life. One of my cousins (RIP Dave) tought me some karate kicks back when I was pretty young. I was at my home and had a friend over and playing or whatever. We got in an argument over the pronounciation of a car, Chevy Vega. He startted to hit me first, and I lost my shit. I broke his jaw with a kick. His Aunt thought she could sue my mom and, I, but she couldn't. I saw him again not long after with his jaw wired up and drinking through a straw out of a cup. I don't want to fight, but I will if someone pushes me to that point.

One Golden Rule about street fights: Always ASSUME the other guy is packing heat… Depending on the county or state jurisdiction or laws, you could get to prison even in self-defense…

Look up Geoff Thompson, former Coventry bouncer. He has done some great books on fear/fear management. Not just for fighting, but for life in general.

Seen one too many street fights where one guy goes down, hits his head, already out, and the other guy or girl continues battering or stomping. Maybe it’s different where Tony is from, but in the States, too many act more like primitives, they can’t control themselves. Maybe I’m just in a bad area. Idk. I’ll fight only its a last resort, otherwise I will avoid it or use other means to defend.

Being 5'2 I always relied on my speed, in reactions, as I saw that I am faster than big guys. But I can't do nothing to make a balance with the oponent strenght. I always need to shorten the distance if a fight is unavoidable, so maybe you will give some tips about what to do if already in close contact, champ? The very basic. You think the uppercut or liver shot will be okay? And then withdraw to stay out of reach? Greetings from fan from Poland.

Coach Jeffries, I just watched a video where you advised your viewers to avoid street fights at all costs, to swallow your pride and literally run away from a street fight because it's not worth it. Now you are telling us to engage and get into people's faces with confidence etc.

My fear is petty retaliation. The idea that even if I win the fight, I'll have to spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder

All of this is true the man knows what he is talking about. Other's can and will read your non verbal communication especially criminals. If you come off as a weak and don't pay attention to your surroundings than it will be read that you are a easy target.

I look up to you Tony Jeffries. I like you're video's. Even though I can no longer do any of it due to injury and now age. I didn't mind a rumble when I was young but injured my back early in life at 15. I used to spar with pal in the garage but no head shots as tempers would flare. I slipped a disc crushed a vertibre which trapped a nerve in my back, I have curvature of the spine and had a car accident and my neck it snapping all the time with arthritis. So yes I'm extra scared of everything now as all this is invisible. I'd be screwed if some idiot started on me in the pub now so I no longer go. My worst fear are aggressive dogs and the owners not being aware of it, on their phones. I have to compete with a dog mauling me then as well as the owner while I fight for my life while I can barely move.

Good video. But what I fear is the legal repercussions. How do I deal with that?

@ultimatecomeback9645 10 күн бұрын

i'd say my biggest fear when fighting isn't the actual fighting it's having visible injuries like a black eye as if i'm going around with a black eye then it doesn't look good. people like family members or co-workers might judge you for it and think you're going out getting into scraps. even if your family know you practice martial arts if you come home with a black eye they might all of a sudden be not too happy about you training and want you to quit. I know if my mother caught me with a black eye she'd phone up the gym to complain hahaha which would be awkward and embarrassing.

I'd just add. Always say very loudly "I don't want there to be any violence but I'll defend myself if attacked😊" so everyone hears.

@0779risingsun 10 күн бұрын

My tip is don't have fear of lose. Like if you lose nothing happen. But it's not true is just in your fantasy. Then the other tip is (of course if you sparring before) See it like it's not a real fight it's just a example. Your opponent assumes he knows a good technique but you are about to show him his technique is useless. But at the ends you have to remember all those moments you sparring before so this new one it's just about sparring that you don't want to fight. So you will ended as soon as possible.

Not a street fight, but I've been going to boxing classes for a couple months now and even though I've gotten faster and more coordinated, It is still very difficult for me to aim to the face when doing drills with a partner, and aiming to the face is required. I know I dont hit very hard but I'm still afraid of hurting someone. How can I get into the correct mind set?
