There are not many people that leave the house during the day or at night that intend to get into a street fight. There are some that do but those people are few and far between as the average Joe has no intentions of getting into a physical altercation… EVER.

Even more rare are the life threatening or life changing situations where a person may have to defend themselves because their life is quite literally at risk and to make matters worse the attacker may have a weapon, may have set a trap, or there may even be multiple attackers. In a situation such as this, the ability to adequately and intelligently defend yourself is paramount.

There are those instances when this happens and what happens when you are in a situation that absolutely requires you to fight as there is no other option?

Neither www.mixedmartialarts.com nor myself promote street fighting or physical acts of violence in any form or fashion but there are those occasions that arise which simply require that you defend yourself or you may, in fact, be in grave danger…

Enter Shane Fazen from Fightips.

If you have never been in a physical confrontation outside of a controlled environment such as an organized combat sports event then the thought of an altercation on the street can be terrifying and justifiably so.

The one thing that is nearly guaranteed is that you are not going to remember a single thing in the heat of the moment, you will essentially black out. All of those cool scenarios that you have played out in your head, the YouTube videos you have watched, or even the simplest of moves that you always told yourself you would utilize if needed will all go out the window. You will remember next to nothing.

The only thing that you will remember and execute are the moves that you have drilled relentlessly and are second nature and even then, you probably won’t remember them.

So check out the video below to learn the most effective self-defense move and start drilling immediately.
