I'll be honest...if there was a such a thing that exist in this world nowadayz...that person wouldn't live long. Eventually he'll run in the knifefighter or gunfighter than it'll be over. LOL!

haha, someone who fights on the street? Not for sport...little or no training...learns from experience...i guess

usually they are rival drug dealers.

or pimps, outlaw bikers, thugs, ne'er do wells, crooks theives, scumbags, and the like. These are the only folks that have reason to fight in the streets for the most part.

As for the rest of us civilized types, well me for one, practice Kung Fu to quell these types when they attempt to rob me in teh subway stations or streets where I live.

Now that I live in a bigger city, I see many more of the above variety of garden scum than I ever did when I lived in a prairie city with relatively low crime.

I am thankful for the kung Fu I was Taught now and I dread the misfortune of having to use it, but chances are good it will be tested here in the big city.

Still it can be avoided in many cases, stay out of large bars (I don't frequent anyway) don't wander the streets late at night, keep the car doors locked and all that.

They must exists, Vunak, Blauer and Peterson say they can train me to beat them. So I'm guessing that they are out there and want to beat me up. At least that's what the ads say.

[Shaolindynasty]

What about the guys from mortal kombat, tekken, dead or alive?

No but seriously streetfighters are the guys you used to see in video games like streets of rage. They usually have mohawks, shoulder pads with spikes and they carry around chains or bats. Now if you fight one and get hurt you can usually find some big roasts with a bone sticking out in an oil barrel off to the side. to open the barrel use punches/kicks or bust it open with a lead pipe and it will restore your health. I wouldn't worry about those guys I have defeated hundreds and saved all of metro city. Watch out for their boss though he usually has a special skill and a really wierd appearence.

Has anybody seen Shaolin Dolemite? That movie cracks me up. "Look out it's 2pac the westside monk!" "I challenge you",
2pac"hahaha",
"you laugh at me?"
2pac"Yeah you ain't "

That movie puts a hilarious spin on all the classic shaw type movies. Me and my friends used to make up dialoge for those movies like that, now sombody made it a movie.

If a gunfighter fights with guns,

and a knifefighter with knives,

Doesn't it make sense that a streetfighter fights with streets?

Sounds pretty dangerous to me.

Comic Books, sorry man those were technical manuals on how to execute superb fighting techniques!! :mad:

:p :p :p

Rivercity Ransom rocked! I loved beating up thugs for change (litterally, you would be grabbing $0.50 for defeating opponents), so you could go to the bookstore and buy the DragonFist manual.

Rogue,
You seem to have a problem with Paul V. Are you really holding a grudge against JKD because of the JKD guy that eye gouged you at a children's soccer game? That's just low. You should wake up and adopt the winning principles that almost defeated you in an argument about lil' league soccer games. :p

I still get the shakes every time I pass some kid in soccer gear Jag. :eek: ****, the burbs are dangerous!

Lately Vu's advertising just makes him an easy target.

The streetfighter remark wasn't aimed just at him but at all the guys selling ways to beat the ever present "streetfighter". As if there's one on every corner wearing a t-shirt that says "official streetfighter". Here's what peeves me, if the "streetfighter" is so **** dangerous how are 12 hours of training with intructor X (trainer of SEALS, SWAT and the BSA) going to let me beat him and any of his fellow streetfighters everytime? Sadly that's how many of these systems(RAT, SCARS, S.P.E.A.R, SAFTA, Krav Magna, Tai Chi Chuan, etc) get marketed. So if System Y is so good against a streetfighter, what skills does the streetfighter have that only instructor X's system can beat him?

That's why in those old games you had to fight like ten million of them. Remember every ten paces there was at least 5 you had to fight at once and this went on for like 10 stages. Like I said look out for mohawks, ripped shirts, spiked shoulder pads, big knives, bats, pipes.

River City Ransom was the game. It's the only NES game that I will still play. One of my goals in life is to teach myself the stone hands and dragon feet techniques. I wish I could eat donuts and build will power, or eat pizza and make my defense better. All that junk food is probably why they were both so chubby though :)

One thing I'm starting to get tired of is streetfighter this or streetfighter that.Like they're the ultimate fighter or something.Maybe I should go study streetfighting and not even mma's won't be able to stop me.

Point is they're not superhuman.They breathe,eat,bleed,and sleep just like me.Some people say oh that technique wont work cause they wont feel pain but if they do it to me I'm supposed to cower because I will feel it.What am I some fragile inferior being?.They don't train almost every day like do.I've been in their atmosphere.I've seen streetfights up close in this country and in Colombia.From what I've seen a many those "experienced" streetfighters don't know how to fight.They just go crazy and somone with a lucky hit wins.

Sorry to rant people but I'm getting tired of hearing how streetfighters are the only and ultimate authority in fighting.

Well I did get bricked in the head once. I guess that qualifies as he picked the brick up off the street.

[apoweyn]

first things first: i LOVED river city ransom. god, i miss that game.

i like the original question though. i've been wondering this for a while. i think marketing has us suckered in a lot of ways. martial arts marketing would have us believe that live is a 24/7 fight for survival in some weird urban wasteland.

certainly, the need for self defense exists. and certainly, you'd hate to be caught without. but at the same time, in all the time i've spent in DC and Baltimore (each of which have reasonably high crime rates, i'd imagine), i've never been in a situation that didn't fit one of the two following criteria: 1) it couldn't have been avoided by better judgment or 2) martial arts training wouldn't have made the difference. in other words, if it was a bar fight, then i expect i could've avoided it. and if it was something more serious, then i doubt i'd have the chance to pull out the fu on them anyway.

that said, i expect the truth lies somewhere in the middle between the marketing and my wholesale rejection of the marketing.

what do you think?

Heard of this Choy lay fut instructor in Canada that does this streetfighting thing, his instructor from hong kong was a streetfighter/rooftop fighter? as well.

What is a STREETFIGHTER, just any average joe with a bad temper or gang affiliation that likes to brawl on the streets , or is it more of a deal like fight club where a STREETFIGHTER fights for money and it's an underground thing.

I just got a TRS ad in the mail for a Chris Clugston tape. It promises to make me a master streetfighter. :p
So look out, I'll be waiting for you in a dark alley somewhere with my official streetfighter t-shirt on. :D

PS Please when entering the dark alley say something like "hello, is anybody there?" just so I can be ready. ;)

Those that are sucessful are also the biggest failures. the difference between them and the rest of the failures is this, they keep getting up over and over again, until they succeed.
