pressure points in the neck are the most effective and very good for ground work

a tin of coke across the forehead or nose

i was doing kickboxing (fc, all kicks above waist) and kung fu but started boxing last week and am going to do judo once i find a good club. a good mix because both are easy to grasp the basics of and (because i know how to block kicks already) you can deal with most situations [ This Message was edited by: g on 2001-11-09 09:17 ]

do u think boxing and judo would be an effective combo for the street or would a different ground fighting be better mixed with boxing.

did you look at the rest of the sight they won on unfair scoring and the auther says muaythai is more effective

try protein drinks and lots of red meat

bruce lee a couple of the gracie familly and tyson

liam where u from? what country and where you train

trapping is locking your opponent using any lock joint etc

the best style i think are muay thai and some of the kung fu styles as these are quuick effective and they train lots

as often as not the average street fighter could beat a black belt street fighters understand the street martial artists tend not to. there are 2 ways i know to counter this realism training or stand out side the pub at 1in the morn on a saterday night

the younger the better. u should find them exersises they enjoy not horse stance make up games to improve balance + hand to eye

u dont have to move fast just get the timing and its easy to dodge punchs. u can also dodge and jab(not powerfully but enough to paw them off) which is much easier than block and counter or block and lock

kicks are good nothing flashy and good street fights can use their feet knees elbows heads alot of martial cant use their head knees or elbows tkd being a good example

evade until you get the knock out punch

its **** its point sparing not combat

snapkick to balls is fasterand more effective

fighting isn't based on the tv watched but on the attitudes of the people around them if you liveing a working class area chances are your harder because your expected to be and when you fight you'll probibly fight harder because thats how you fight where as middle class boys just don't understand ps i'm the exception

a one foot baton and a two foot baton(very different wepons) as they are easy to pick up

just hit them.

sparring is very important but u should have 6 more months experience so u know what your doing right and wrong and know what bad habits not to pick up

stict to the simple and dont worry aout your hand jab cross hook will either finish it or make them want to stop fighting especially if you hit them in the nose

do the thai lift weights or any other martial arts focus on weights rather than members doing them independantly
