Hey guys - I'm a long time reader and I normally don't post since I can use the search function well; but I would like to share a experience I had last night when I was slightly intoxicated.
In a nutshell:
-Last night 2 drunken guys (who happen to be muscle heads) that I've known got into a fight.
-Started off with A. pushing B. in the face followed by B. throwing a counter hook but missing
-I laughed for a bit then I decided to break it up with the help of 3 girls
I realized that as a natural human reaction both A and B had their hands up ready for attack, (they were both drunk) both had their hands extended therefore would keep the other person at a reasonable distance and from coming in too close to their comfort zone - sort of like a ball - and then it hit me.. I finally saw people bridging by accident in real-life
Now my theory for people who bridge, I would say it comes down to 2 people "scared" to get hit - that's why their hands are out to prevent the other person from coming in too close into their comfort zone and therefore keeping their distance
As a MMA guy; If people have their hands out the same way I seen it last night and I was the one who got into a fight - without a doubt I would of
a. bob and weaved to the side with a following overhand
b. same thing followed with a double leg
Any further opinions? or constructive criticisms?
