How to Beat a Street Fighter - Part 2

What do I do if a street fighter is trying to kick me?

That's a question I received recently by email.

...I thought this was such a great question that I decided I should tell you my answer.
Here's how to neutralize virtually all kicks.

Move.

What? Too simple?

Well, I like to keep things simple.

We forget the complex stuff when a fight really happens, so why bother with it.

Okay. Let's get back to neutralizing the kick.

If you move in any direction your body will not be in the place where the kicker needs you to be to have power in his kick. Too bad for him.

Now if you move back or to the sides, his kick will probably miss or be very weak.

However, the encounter will not be over.

A better way is to move toward the kicker as your hand comes up with a powerful open hand strike, high on the attacker's chest.

You should aim at the area between the chin and the sternum.

Your open hand strike should slow down, stop or possibly even knock the kicker onto the ground, thus ending the attack with just one move.

You could also slam your forearm into his chest with similar results.

As for his kick, he'll probably bump his knee into your leg and never even be able to deliver his kick. Again, too bad for him.

Well, I hope you don't need to use this information, but here it is just in case.

Be Strong!
