    sometimes maybe cut the goal is to make it home safe"Expect to be hit

    Many famous fighters have done this (roy jones jr, chuck norris, Morbicid, etc)"

    walk around in a white robe, with a white hood covering your head. Unless you live in a place with all caucasins you will most likely get some training.

    trian your strengths , improve your weaknesses, and definately don't think you can expect anything, street fights have no rules, it can be 8 people beating you up or when your fighting one person a metal pipe may crack the back of your head open, all of the training in the world can't garuntee success on the street, however it can help in some circumstance.
    Bless you

    My answer is awareness of surroundings.

    For instance, my walk to and from the parking garage at work is where alot of bums and hoodrats hang out. As I am walking I take notice of anyone who could be a potential attacker (my basis is anyone who is in close enough in proximity, not by the way they look). I take into account the spacing around me, natural resources that can be used as a weapon, number of people together, how long it takes me to pull out my blade and flip the lever (it's an "assisted" opener knife) to see if it's an option. I also look at how a person is walking towards me and the look in their eyes. I then start looking at size, build, and what the best first target/strike I would use if necessary. It's similair to how a quarterback (American Football) makes his reads as he drops back to pass. I also look around for the transit and other police as well, if I have the option to run, which is preferable.

    Most martial artists train to fight. But as for actually training for a street fight, I don't know that there is really a physical way to do so. Sure you can mess around with training knives and plastic bottles, but mental training in possible real situations is very beneficial to keep from getting ambushed by surprise.

    You are more likely to fall down the stairs and break your neck if you live in a house with stairs. You are more likely to be in a car accident if you drive to work. You are more likely to be kicked in the nuts or punched in the nose if you practicing the martial arts. - Judge Pen

    Practice sprinting and running through obstacle courses in plain clothes, you can't get jacked up if you can't get caught.

    The only way you can really prepare yourself for a street fight is to resign yourself to the fact that you might die. Once you don't give a shiyt anymore, it will certainly improve the outcome.

    Oh and what to train? Balls and eyes, my friend... balls and eyes.

    You know, I thought about it... Screw martial arts in street fights. Just carry some mace or pepper spray. Some nice chemical warfare can beat chi anyday.

    A dynamite vest would work against multiple attackers. Unfortunately you would be toast as well.


    On a side note, mace and/or pepper spray aren't always that effective. I got sprayed (unintentionally) and it did burn my eyes but really just pissed me off. Just like any weapon on you, you may not even have time to pull it out when attacked.

    If you really want to go chemical, some bleach or sulphuric acid in a squirt-gun would suffice. But the SA would definitely limit the shelf-life of the squirt gun.

    been kicked in the balls in a fight before - I didn't feel it until the fight was done. I know a few others who have had the same experience. For that reason, I don't stress striking there as part of a self defense program.
