Top 20 Street Fighting Mistakes
Here is a video from the guys of FightTips.com which show mistakes people make when fighting in the street.
My favorite is no.#10 - Keeping your shoes tied tight. I loved this one, it's very funny but so true.
The only tip I would disagree with is no.#12 - Don't hockey fight: Don't grab with one arm.
When adrenalized you will tend to grab or punch to one side more than the other, this is due to gross motor movement patterns.
Plus you will get more power from striking this way since you will be crossing center line and getting more of your bodyweight into the strike.
But that's just my opinion, Shane and Terrell have made a very good video on what can happen when simple mistakes are made.
So watch and learn and above all don't make these silly mistakes when fighting.
Take care.
