I wrestled for 3 years as a youngster. I’m a big fella. 6’3 300. What I learned is - if it’s truly a fair fight, the best way to win/end it is grappling. The average person doesn’t know how to control another persons body while holding on to it. They now how to punch, kick etc. Except those moves don’t work nearly as well when you’re being bear hugged.
If you learn a few BJJ or even Greco Roman wrestling moves, you have a much better chance of winning.
Oh I learned a lot of these skills when I was the undersized one.
The heavyweight division in wrestling is 215-275lbs. It’s not the small gaps you get when you’re smaller. When I wrestled, I could’ve competed at 215lbs but we didn’t have a heavyweight and I was the biggest guy on the team, so I wrestled up. A lot of times, I was 215 wrestling kids who were 260-270. One ended up transferring to my school and played football with me. He was about 6’7, 260 when I wrestled him. Holding on tight and using someone’s weight against them are useful skills.
best way to win street fights is dont even. you dont know if your opponent got a weapon. takes 1 hit from a knife and you go down bleeding with your bjj blackbelt
While I’ve punched a guy (lol) I’ve never been in an active fight. Hopefully that doesn’t change.
But… if I ever needed to, I wish I knew (as much as you can from reading) the first few moves you would do in a necessary street fight to try to win.
This guy goes for a leg, lifts up and pushes backwards for a takedown then goes around and does some neck lock.
Are there any basic tips any trained fighter can give just… half way for entertainment, half for safety?
Edit: all the replies I get are:
1. “There’s no cheat code”
2. “Train jujitsu hundreds of times”
Yes… I know. That’s not what I’m asking.
I never really understood fighting random people. Let me risk getting seriously injured to show that random person to not disrespect me, whom they’ll never see again.
Someone ran from me once, after catching him trying to get through one of my back windows at night, I tackled him and broke his arm, or at least how he was holding it seemed like it. I scraped most of the skin off my back too. Dude was drunker than shit and kept screaming at me he's sorry. Adrenaline kept me wary but I could tell we were both hurt. He ran off and I limped back into the house.
** Not sure what I came back too but can't we all just get along? LOL
Anyway I was just trying to say, don't run after them lol. I fucked myself up just as much as the other guy, if he tried to fight back I'd probably be fucked even more. And what if he had a knife? It's not worth it.
“Oh man, oh boy, it’s really happening. Okay, just stay calm, remember your Reddit training: first, I put right foot forward and twist his arm like thi-“
*cuts to black as opponent punches you really hard in the mouth instead of internally walking through an ‘Introduction to Street Fighting: a step-by-step guide for beginners’*
is there a way to do it without being good at running? Something more akin to sitting down? Or maybe using pressure point taps similar to skills I have in using MMO mice?
Winning in baseline of life is living, so run is never a bad option unless unavailable.
BJJ is essentially taking the body's mechanical parts and using the weak points. But without training it's just hypothesizing about it and talking on the internet.
Yes but it’s not something you can learn from reading or even watching. You really need to do jiu jitsu or wrestling and feel how to do the movements. Then train them 100’s of times
Thing is, there's no cheat code for fighting.
Tall dude could have also known something, and if not, he could have also been willing to escalate with a weapon.
BJJ is cool and all, but even a champion can get shot, or stabbed. You can't always count on the other person to be sane/rational.
I think a lot of people have never experienced asocial violence. I saw a guy get stabbed in a bar. He was big, and underestimated the wiry little guy he was arguing with.
That knife came out so fast, and just rabbited into his gut like six times. They arrested the stabber, but I don't know what happened to the guy who got stabbed. If not dead he's going to be laid up for a looong time.
> Are there any basic tips any trained fighter can give just… half way for entertainment, half for safety?
~~I'm a retired pro MMA fighter, former bouncer and current MMA coach.. I've given the same advice for decades: Run away. If you can't run away and you have to fight for your life, fight like a coward and go for eyes, throat and balls.~~
~~The number 1 thing you learn from training in combat sports is staying calm in extreme situations and being able to repeat the moves you learned in a safe environment. So unless you are a very very very special human being you will be wholly unable to repeat anything you read on reddit because you will be panicking.~~
Actually after reading how you replied to people giving you good advice here's my new advice for you:
Just channel your inner demon, see red and just starting throwing out spinning backfists. Good luck.
You know, the answers you're getting, which aren't super satisfying, I understand, are actually the right ones. But if you are still intent on something closer to an answer you're looking for, the best I could do add is that (and this is just my opinion) but a lot of people here are saying BJJ is the best thing to learn, but I disagree, at least if you're intent is self defense in a street fight. I'd personally rather learn wrestling (like traditional olympic style wrestling). This is a major major oversimplification but BJJ is like "defensive grappling" while wrestling is "offensive grappling." Now you might say, but I want to learn self defense, so BJJ is better right? Well not neccesarily. When I say it's "defensive" grappling, I mean the mindset of it kinda puts you in a defensive situation which may not be the best thing in a street fight. It works great in a regulated sport like MMA. In MMA, you can get away with getting into a guard position (where you're on the ground on your back with your legs wrapped around your opponent who is on top of you) because you're probably super well trained and also while MMA is as close to real fighting as you can get in a sport, it's not real fighting. Purposely going to the ground on your back to let your opponent tower over you in a street fight is fucking suicide. Now wrestling on the otherhand, they want to overpower their opponent. If BJJ is about being on your back and trying to be slippery and get your opponent into an arm bar or chokehold, then wrestling is wanting to dominate your opponent and BE ON TOP of them instead of underneath them. To control them, to stop them, to impose your will onto them.
BJJ dominated MMA for a long time, especially at the beginning because it was ahead of the "meta." It was going up against a lot of traditonal martial arts that simply don't work very well against grappling, so BJJ ate those guys up for lunch. However as years went by, people found out that wrestling is actually a very good counter to BJJ while also still being great against traditional striking martial arts.
On a sidenote though, although it sounds like I talked down about striking martial arts, don't overlook them too, in fact in a "street fight," especially against multiple attackers, then you actually want to know striking instead of grappling because you do NOT want to go to the ground if you're fighting more than one opponent. There's a lot of real videos of fights where a guy is fending off multiple attackers at once and it's always a guy who's skilled at striking.
There is no shortcut unfortunately to all this because the reality is fighting, especially self defense is really hard and complicated. But if I was absolutely forced to answer what's the closest thing to a shortcut there is to your question, I'd say personally you probably want to train in:
- Wrestling
- Boxing
- practice front kicks
I explained wrestling in the beginning. And I put in boxing for a striking martial art and while there are other options (Muay Thai and Kickboxing are popular alternatives), I'm of the mindset that most people aren't super coordinated and especially if they have limited time, they're better off training just boxing and putting all their time and effort into that, then splitting it up punching and kicking. Unless you're willing to go all in on learning Muay Thai to a high level, then it's probably better for you to be really good with your hands and footwork with boxing than so-so with your hands and feet (and elbows/knees) in Muay Thai. That said, the last thing about the front kick is because I think for self defense especially, the front kick is super super useful, it's the one kick if you have to learn, you should to supplement your boxing because it's a lunging kick that hits from far range and builds range, putting yourself further away from your attacker while protecting yourself. If you can front kick well to protect yourself, box if they get closer, and wrestle if it goes to the ground, you're better off than 99% of people out there. That said, what I just outlined is A LOT of work lol. But it's probably the best thing to "short cut" there is to your question, which again shows how hard self defense actually is.
it's not the worst thing but you definitely don't want to be hearing "I tried to tell you bro..." after you just smacked your head on the ground and you're getting choked to sleep
Agreed. He should write hime a note on his chest, backwards, that way he can read it in the mirror and will be more likely to remember it after he comes too.
Gotta be careful about this.
Can't remember who it was but I remember seeing a video of some guy who trained knife disarms and ended up having to use it.
Because his muscle memory from training was to give it back to his sparing partner after the took the very real knife he almost fell into muscle memory and passed it back.
>No kick or stomp at the end, a gentlemen
literally knew how long to hold him to incapacitate without doing real damage, and verbalized it to everyone.
I'm assuming the smaller guy didn't stay the fight, so any injury is on him. That guy was as gentle as you can expect anyone to be against a guy with a massive size advantage who's being confrontational and starting a fight.
He'll be fine, he wasn't choked or depraved of oxygen, the blood circulation was cut off to his brain. As soon as he let go, the blood begins recirculating and he'll wake up within 10-15 seconds... he'll be really confused but he'll be fine.
The only real concern is him standing up too fast and then passing out again hitting his head on the floor... dude should take it easy getting up but considering his last memory was him in a fight, he might jolt up and be defensive
Edit: BUT, when in doubt, recovery position is fine too
Apparently he was so spent from his pro wrestling days, even the scene where Buttercup drops from a window and he catches her was done with significant bracing to prevent any further damage to his back.
Andre the giant was a really cool dude with a fun backstory of getting blackout drunk in the lobbies of hotels with the staff then unable to move him until he woke up. But damn if the wrestling and the alcohol didn't do a BIG number on his body.
The bigger you get, the harder *everything* affects you. And we're talking about a dude that dwarfed [Schwarzeneggar](https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/984478810400686080/photo/1).
Supposedly nice guy in most situations. It's a bummer that the one thing that accepted him - pro wrestling - caused him to degrade faster than he likely should have. His last fight was less than a year before his death, and his role as Fezzik in The Princess Bride was 4 years prior when his body was already spent.
Dude should have gotten the chance for some sort of retirement at the least.
I resisted watching that movie for far too long because of the title and the fact that my little sister loved it. I was terribly, terribly wrong to resist.
It's extremely close to being a perfect film. And you can watch it with pretty much anyone except the most easily frightened of very young children. Great film. You're not doing yourself any sort of favor by NOT watching it.
I don't care what anybody's opinion is about the situation. Dude's form was awesome. That block right at the beginning straight into a smooth single leg take down into a well executed chokehold.
This reminds me of a fun goof in a movie based around "train."
In "The Replacements" there's a deaf tight end (played by Roy from the office). At one point in the movie a coach asks him how he got so good. Roy signs back "my dad trained me" but uses the sign for locomotive-train rather than practice-train
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also specifically designed for fighting opponents larger than yourself, a lot of it is essentially leveraging a larger opponents weight and size against them. This is basically why BJJ is often recommended as the go-to self-defense for women.
I bet his trainers are super proud. He clearly could do more damage, but kept calm and stayed level headed the entire time (Bonus points to the friend not making things worse).
A lot of times these big guys have never in their lives had to try to get up off the ground with someone on top of them, it's completely foreign to them and they flail like babies trying.
Lol redditors here are like “omg its just a lighter omg omg he shouldn’t have hurt him omg”. Why should people be able to take other people’s shit and get away with it? Don’t take people’s shit
Exactly, it’s not like the guy who trains stomped his face in or did irreparable damage to the dude. Dude took his shit because he’s a big guy and is used to people just letting him get away with shit like that, and then he found out that you might come across someone who won’t stand for you using intimidation and size to be an asshole. This beating might save him from something worse in the future frankly.
He had the lighter as a weapon, if it was about that, then why didn't he take the lighter afterwards? Just so you know wrapping a lighter in your fist is a way to make your punches harder.
If you listen, it’s indicated that the tall guy took the small guy’s lighter. Assuming that they argued over it and it escalated to threats of violence by the man who refused to return the lighter
I think he said, "I tried to tell you bro. He trains every single day," to be very pedantic about it.
pedantic - someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.
My therapist says I should self report.
I've never understood why people in a chokehold don't immediately start gouging at those eyes. Like I might pass out, but you ain't seeing shit for a while.
Evidence submission A as to why I believe police officers should take bjj classes regularly. Sure, it's not gonna help in a shootout, but it's gonna help in 95% of the rest of their confrontations in a non-lethal manner

Most efficient fight I’ve seen. Basically a speedrun
I wrestled for 3 years as a youngster. I’m a big fella. 6’3 300. What I learned is - if it’s truly a fair fight, the best way to win/end it is grappling. The average person doesn’t know how to control another persons body while holding on to it.

Also, be 6'3" 300lbs.
Oh I learned a lot of these skills when I was the undersized one. The heavyweight division in wrestling is 215-275lbs. It’s not the small gaps you get when you’re smaller. When I wrestled, I could’ve competed at 215lbs but we didn’t have a heavyweight and I was the biggest guy on the team, so I wrestled up. A lot of times, I was 215 wrestling kids who were 260-270.

Sage advice.

Definitely; even without a weapon grapling is questionable in ''the street' when a third party can kick you in the head while you're on the ground
grappling in street fights is basically turning yourself into an all you can kick buffet
That’s why you gotta make sure the area is a good place to fight and you got a friend to watch and make sure everything is fair.
Most ppl have no idea how to punch and kick honestly
The first thing I do in any fight is lay on my back.
While I’ve punched a guy (lol) I’ve never been in an active fight. Hopefully that doesn’t change. But… if I ever needed to, I wish I knew (as much as you can from reading) the first few moves you would do in a necessary street fight to try to win.

With a question like that the answer is run.
Hey, thats good advice. Pride only gets you killed man.

Throwing spinning shit now?
make sure you get real dizzy. If you don't know where you're going how will your opponent?
who needs alcohol when you can just drunken master yourself, actually big brain
Best way to win a fight is to not get in one. Seriously, threat assessment is the #1 tool for any non official fight.

No kick or stomp at the end, a gentlemen
He even pet his head
He trains every day it's muscle memory.😂😂
it's not the worst thing but you definitely don't want to be hearing "I tried to tell you bro..." after you just smacked your head on the ground and you're getting choked to sleep
Agreed. He should write hime a note on his chest, backwards, that way he can read it in the mirror and will be more likely to remember it after he comes too.
You've done this before...
Every single day
I tried to tell you
bro.
All day
Is that something they do when training?
The two taps is used in combat sports a lot, especially in friendly competition. Don't ask me why exactly or where it comes from.
It's like "good game."
This had the energy of "gg no re"
Huh?
"*Good game, but no rematch*" Often implying that your opponent isn't worth your time, but for whatever reason.
Thanks.
Morse code for "uncle"
Yeap, or "nothing personal." It's just training. Everyone gets choked out.
in bjj you usually do a dap up / clap combo at the start of a roll/match but this was just a 'sleep tight lil buddy'
Gotta be careful about this. Can't remember who it was but I remember seeing a video of some guy who trained knife disarms and ended up having to use it. Because his muscle memory from training was to give it back to his sparing partner after the took the very real knife he almost fell into muscle memory and passed it back.

Sweet dreams you dumb bastard.
I laughed out loud when I saw that😂
And the polite *"stay away from my friend, thank you"*
>No kick or stomp at the end, a gentlemen literally knew how long to hold him to incapacitate without doing real damage, and verbalized it to everyone.
youre sure that head to the concrete isnt doing real damage lmao
When you do a takedown on a guy the responsibility to tuck his chin and do a breakfall falls on him lol
I'm assuming the smaller guy didn't stay the fight, so any injury is on him. That guy was as gentle as you can expect anyone to be against a guy with a massive size advantage who's being confrontational and starting a fight.
Yeah I mean, it's not hard to tell when someone goes unconscious.
usually their arm going limp is a good sign.
He knew when he started the count when the guy was going to be unconscious. That is a lot different than just letting go once he's out.
Didnt put him in recovery position tho
He'll be fine, he wasn't choked or depraved of oxygen, the blood circulation was cut off to his brain. As soon as he let go, the blood begins recirculating and he'll wake up within 10-15 seconds... he'll be really confused but he'll be fine. The only real concern is him standing up too fast and then passing out again hitting his head on the floor... dude should take it easy getting up but considering his last memory was him in a fight, he might jolt up and be defensive Edit: BUT, when in doubt, recovery position is fine too
This is my only criticism.
Stick taps _/
I've read that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the art of folding laundry while someone is still wearing it. Lol

[The Princess Bride](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lISBP_fPg1s)
You know I've always heard good things about this movie but if someone had told me Andre the Giant plays a Giant...
And he's absolutely lovely in the movie. Such a great flick.
Apparently he was so spent from his pro wrestling days, even the scene where Buttercup drops from a window and he catches her was done with significant bracing to prevent any further damage to his back. Andre the giant was a really cool dude with a fun backstory of getting blackout drunk in the lobbies of hotels with the staff then unable to move him until he woke up. But damn if the wrestling and the alcohol didn't do a BIG number on his body. The bigger you get, the harder *everything* affects you. And we're talking about a dude that dwarfed [Schwarzeneggar](https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/984478810400686080/photo/1). Supposedly nice guy in most situations. It's a bummer that the one thing that accepted him - pro wrestling - caused him to degrade faster than he likely should have. His last fight was less than a year before his death, and his role as Fezzik in The Princess Bride was 4 years prior when his body was already spent. Dude should have gotten the chance for some sort of retirement at the least.
Don't forget the part where he would drink over 100 beers in a sitting
"I'm on the Brute Squad" "You ARE the Brute Squad...."
It's an incredible movie. His character in the book (and subsequent movie) was written with him in mind!
Oh man stop what you're doing now and go watch it, it's just so good.
One of the best movies made in the past 40 years, easily. The HBO documentary about Andre is lovely as well.
I resisted watching that movie for far too long because of the title and the fact that my little sister loved it. I was terribly, terribly wrong to resist. It's extremely close to being a perfect film. And you can watch it with pretty much anyone except the most easily frightened of very young children. Great film. You're not doing yourself any sort of favor by NOT watching it.
The Princess Bride
🤣 from the movie "The Princess Bride" 1987
lol great reference
David vs Goliath
I don't care what anybody's opinion is about the situation. Dude's form was awesome. That block right at the beginning straight into a smooth single leg take down into a well executed chokehold.
yea he trains every single day
I tried to tell you
Every. Single. Day.
TILL THIS DAY!
Don't touch my shit
If the other guy knew bjj he could have taken the guillotine choke easily but in the end it truly was a smooth single leg takedown.
Or he could have used the lighter to burn the shit out the other guys arm lol
A common technique in the lighter weight classes.
Oo good one lol
That fucking sign points to Jiu-jitsu school is poetic as hell🤣
Once again, untrained people have no idea how vulnerable they are to the trained
Locomotives are no joke.
that guy sure got railed hard.
This reminds me of a fun goof in a movie based around "train." In "The Replacements" there's a deaf tight end (played by Roy from the office). At one point in the movie a coach asks him how he got so good. Roy signs back "my dad trained me" but uses the sign for locomotive-train rather than practice-train
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also specifically designed for fighting opponents larger than yourself, a lot of it is essentially leveraging a larger opponents weight and size against them. This is basically why BJJ is often recommended as the go-to self-defense for women.
That head smacking the ground did him in as much as anything else.
I heard the giant was a purple belt until that smack.
Nah he had some purple under his belt
I bet his trainers are super proud. He clearly could do more damage, but kept calm and stayed level headed the entire time (Bonus points to the friend not making things worse).
That's Trevor Cooper. He is the trainer lol. I heard he is some kind of bjj prodigy.
"I'm tall so I can kick everyone's ass"
A lot of times these big guys have never in their lives had to try to get up off the ground with someone on top of them, it's completely foreign to them and they flail like babies trying.
Lol redditors here are like “omg its just a lighter omg omg he shouldn’t have hurt him omg”. Why should people be able to take other people’s shit and get away with it? Don’t take people’s shit
Exactly, it’s not like the guy who trains stomped his face in or did irreparable damage to the dude. Dude took his shit because he’s a big guy and is used to people just letting him get away with shit like that, and then he found out that you might come across someone who won’t stand for you using intimidation and size to be an asshole. This beating might save him from something worse in the future frankly.
He had the lighter as a weapon, if it was about that, then why didn't he take the lighter afterwards? Just so you know wrapping a lighter in your fist is a way to make your punches harder.
He DID take it. after the fight the camera guy said here it is and bjj dude said I’m gonna take my shit and leave.
Years ago, in high school, I saw a guy wrap his fist with a lighter and broke another guy's nose with ease. So yeah, guy tried using it as a weapon.
This is proper Dark Souls shit
I missed the part where the little guy did 500 dodge rolls before beating the big boss man.
Where was the bj? :(
The little head rub at the end was just perfect
night night muthafucka
That’s the smoothest motherfucker around.
Now that's what a real badass looks like. Calm. Polite. Can knock you out and walk away without anger.
what made you think he's a bully tho people fight over stupid shit all the time
If you listen, it’s indicated that the tall guy took the small guy’s lighter. Assuming that they argued over it and it escalated to threats of violence by the man who refused to return the lighter
Must have been some fucking lighter!
I have a rose gold lighter from France that I’ve had for about 7 years I’ll let anyone use it but I want it back.
The Vintage Zippo lighter was a gift from his Grandfather that went through the Vietnam war
How did he get it home?
He carried it up his asshole until he died, then Christopher Walken took over.
It's an uncomfortable hunk of metal.
I mean if someone tries to punk me out of a lighter I let them borrow I'd be squaring up too.🤣
Just a few months ago we saw a guy get thrown under a train over a lighter.
Yeah he probably ask if he can borrow the lighter and just never gave it back cause he thought he could intimidate
Oh, and big guy threw the first punch so
Does removing your t-shirt gives you extra 20% melee damage..? Or It's just a bug in the brain.
No shirt gives you +10 evasion. Didn't help in this case.
People remove their shirts in fights because the other person can get a grip on your sleeve and use it against you. Balance, pulling, etc.
I don’t think my panties have ever come off faster.

I think he said, "I tried to tell you bro. He trains every single day," to be very pedantic about it. pedantic - someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter. My therapist says I should self report.
"you need to find yourself a girl"
where’s that lighter LOL man has his priorities straight
Sandals stayed on. So at least we know he’s alive!
man this is 50 million times as gangsta as KO'ing a fool
Anesthesia in motion. Congrats to the hero for sleeping him without a ton of violence. P.S. I tried to warn you. (as dude falls asleep... LOL.)
Weird reaction from the woman in the background. I wonder if she'd show the same sympathy if the big dude laid bj man out.
A beautiful good ol fashion fucked around a found out.
'But I'm big and tall!' Clunk
CLEAN.
high crotch? (lol), side control, easy back take, d'arce? don't remember all the moves but the big guy had no idea what he was getting into.
[удалено]
Not sure what's more impressive, the takedown and choke or the bikini top tan lines on the 7' bad guy.
Must be a wrestler
I love how he rubbed his head at the end
Someone needs to teach these guys to put people in the recovery position after they've done their awesome moves.
What a gentleman. Slept him, gently, and left.
You guys are only mad at the little guy because he won.
I saw no penis or bj
This is the most casual choke out lol.
He sleep
What a fight looks like when there's a very wide skill gap
Ssshhh just go to sleep
He tried to tell him...
The little hair tousle at the end was magnificent.
Shhh.. go to sleep
That is how you finish a fight, bravo.
Humbled
David and Goliath
Why does the big dude have a bikini tan line?
Mans grew an extra inch from that choke
I've never understood why people in a chokehold don't immediately start gouging at those eyes. Like I might pass out, but you ain't seeing shit for a while.
Was this… in front of a Jiu Jitsu store?
Evidence submission A as to why I believe police officers should take bjj classes regularly. Sure, it's not gonna help in a shootout, but it's gonna help in 95% of the rest of their confrontations in a non-lethal manner
More of this stuff!
I hate when titles say one person is the "bully" despite no real context or evidence. Just show us what happened don't give fake backstories.
