STREET FIGHT TOP 10 MISTAKES. 4 - 5

Today is the second part of the letter from Al Steel, the Self-Defense Trainer who allowed me to pass it to my friends.



Mistake #4 - PUNCHING WITH YOUR FIST ... INSTEAD OF YOUR PALM

The Street is different!

You are not in a gym, a dojo or in a ring. That's why the RULES CHANGE! Your objective is to get out of a potentially dangerous situation unharmed ... as quickly as possible!

Sometimes, you may need to use your fists to get there! But if you MUST strike someone, NEVER use a clenched fist to punch. ALWAYS USE A PALMSTRIKE!

The bottom half of your palm is SOLID BONE and has a large surface area. When you hit your opponent's head, jaw or nose ... you won't feel a thing while he will be KNOCKED-OUT in an instant!

But your fist is made up of lots of small, individual bones that break very easily ... your knuckles being the most vulnerable! If you strike, it will be like
punching with individual fingers instead of a 1 WHOLE BONE like your palm.

Also, most guys just don't have that EXPERIENCE or TRAINING to execute a punch properly! If you hit someone hard enough with a fist to knock them down or knock
them out, you will most definately BREAK your hand!

A palmstrike is easy to use, does just as much damage as a traditional punch and KEEPS YOU from injuring your hand!


Mistake #5 - THINKING IT TAKES MUSCLE & SIZE TO WIN A FIGHT

The BIGGEST misunderstanding in our society is to think that you need BIG MUSCLES to *win* a fight.

Let me clarify this once and for all:
In a potential fight, the single most important element is SPEED! The bigger you are and the more muscles you have ... the SLOWER you'll become.
I'll give you an example...

BRUCE LEE!

Now this guy was built like a ripped toothpick:
He could amass an INCREDIBLE POWER behind all his strikes ... and execute them at LIGHTNING-SPEED!

There was no way you could catch him, block any of his strikes or land a hit. He was just TOO FAST.
I still see so many guys beefing up because they THINK they'll get the extra advantage ...whereas they do more harm than good.

Being STRONG doesn't mean you can hit hard. In fact, most punches, kicks and takedowns will only become powerful if EXECUTED PROPERLY!

That's why TECHNIQUE & SPEED is the LETHAL COMBINATION in a fight! You won't only be able to strike faster than your opponent can react ... one hit will be SO POWERFUL it will hurt like getting hit by a truck!
