			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to know <a title="How To Win A Street Fight" href="http://StreetFightingUncaged.com" target="_blank">how to win a real street fight</a>?</p>
<p>Let’s first look at one of the biggest self defense mistakes you’ll see on the street&#8230;</p>
<p>You see, in many street fights caught on tape, two people will stand there, trading blows back and forth.</p>
<p>Both parties are simply trying to win a street fight by being the first to land the best lucky blow.</p>
<p><strong>That is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> self-defense.</strong></p>
<p>That is foolishly punching away, exhausting yourself in the process.</p>
<p>Even worse, as soon as your attacker gets in a good punch, your natural reaction will be to cover up, giving every ability to pound away at you while you try to defend yourself.</p>
<p>Here’s what you need to do instead…</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Secret For How To Win A Street Fight</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1zxrRCMwNJQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1zxrRCMwNJQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<a href="http://StreetFightingUncaged.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-275" title="SFU_YouTube_480x100" src="http://www.closequarterscombat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SFU_YouTube_480x100.gif" alt="Click Here For Street Fight Training" width="480" height="100" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
If you want to win a street fight, you have to switch from self defense to self “offense”.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What I mean is that you have to take the attack to the person you’re fighting and create “forward drive” momentum.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Basically this means moving forward with your body to unbalance your attacker and get his brain and his body reacting to your attack as opposed to focusing on attacking you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">By displacing your attacker, you take away his structure and ability to counter-attack and likely causing him to fall or stumble backwards so you can follow up with other self defense techniques.</p>
<p>Here’s how to do it…</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How To Create “Forward Drive”<br />
In A Real Street Fight</h2>
<p>The easiest way to train yourself to own the offense and create forward drive in a real street fight is to simply look at it as replacing your attacker’s body with your own when you strike him.</p>
<p>When you step in to punch, you want to move your entire body forward, stepping in and making sure that you get your feet at least at the point of your opponent&#8217;s center of gravity or beyond it.</p>
<p>The best self defense techniques to use for this close quarters combat move are such strikes as palm heels, elbow strikes, and forearm strikes.</p>
<p>As you step and strike, covering your body at the same time, you come in &#8211; you hit – and at the same time, move your body into the opponent&#8217;s spot.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">In A Real Street Fight,<br />
Don’t Stop Until <span style="text-decoration: underline;">HE</span> Stops!</h2>
<p>In any self defense scenario, you never stop fighting until your attacker stops being a threat.</p>
<p>That’s why when you step in with this forward drive, you keep on moving forward, driving through and following up with other strikes.</p>
<p>By remaining balanced and mobile, you completely take away your attacker’s structure and ability to fight back.</p>
<p>This is one of the key concepts you must master to <a title="How To Win A Street Fight" href="http://StreetFightingUncaged.com" target="_blank">win a real street fight</a> and is key to your successful self defense.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re facing multiple attackers in a real street fight&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;RUN!</p>
<p>But what if you get cornered and are FORCED to fight?</p>
<p>When there&#8217;s no escape, try this&#8230;<span id="more-361"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Sneaky Multiple Attacker Self Defense Tip</h2>
<p>First, try to pinpoint the &#8220;leader&#8221; of the group.</p>
<p>It may be the one with the biggest mouth or the one you notice the other guys looking at for clues on what to do.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t make out the one who is looked up to the most, single out the biggest, baddest guy in the group.</p>
<p>Reason why, he&#8217;ll be the one who has the most to &#8220;lose&#8221; and a higher chance of this trick working on him.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Once You&#8217;ve Chosen Your Target Attacker, Do This&#8230;</h2>
<p>When you have no way out but to fight multiple attackers, you&#8217;re better off (obviously) just fighting one of them.</p>
<p>So &#8220;call out&#8221; the leader or biggest guy and make the group feel like they&#8217;re a bunch of losers if they attack you in mass.</p>
<p>Look directly at your chosen attacker and say something like&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Do you really need these guys to help you beat me up? Think you can take me all by yourself?&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Why This Multiple Attacker Trick May Work&#8230;</h2>
<p>This is like a &#8220;<em>double dog dare</em>&#8221; in street fighting language!</p>
<p>By challenging just one attacker, it puts him in a spot where he has to defend his ego and position within the group.</p>
<p>His other buddies may even egg him on, making it even more of a challenge that has to be answered.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t rush the attack.</p>
<p>Give him time to feel the bruise in his ego and the other guys time to realize there&#8217;s now a chance for the 1-on-1 fight.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re lucky, he&#8217;ll take you up on your challenge and square off to fight.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How To Use This Trick To<br />
Survive A Multiple Attacker Fight</h2>
<p>After you&#8217;ve seen your attacker has taken the bait, you want to then get into &#8220;boxer&#8221; stance.</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, I know&#8230; I&#8217;ve told you NEVER to get into this stance.</p>
<p>Better to launch a surprise attack they don&#8217;t see coming, right?</p>
<p>This is an exception because you WANT your attacker to dance around with you rather than just going for the brawl.</p>
<p>Why? Because you want to reposition your location to allow you to escape again!</p>
<p>You see, if you were cornered by these guys, once you start moving around again and only have one of them focused on attacking you, you may find another opening to run away again along a safer route.</p>
<p>If this isn&#8217;t an option, then at least you&#8217;re only fighting one guy instead of 3, 4, or more and it gives you more time to look for an improvised weapon you can use.</p>
<p>Besides, once you&#8217;ve mastered <strong><a title="How To Street Fight" href="http://StreetFightingUncaged.com" target="_blank">how to street fight</a></strong> and take your attacker out in just a matter of a few seconds, the other guys will think twice about wanting to fight you.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s probably not likely, but at least you&#8217;ll have the &#8220;toughest&#8221; guy out of the fight if you&#8217;ve used some pretty devastating strikes, right?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s better odds for you and you&#8217;ll have a much better chance of survivability if you have to carry on your counterattack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the absolute worst-case scenarios in a <strong><a title="How To Street Fight" href="http://StreetFightingUncaged.com" target="_blank">street fight self defense</a></strong> scenario is to find yourself facing multiple attackers while you’re pinned against a wall.</p>
<p>Cornered like this, most people would simply cover up and pray for mercy in the hopes of not getting beaten to death.</p>
<p>I mean, what self defense techniques could you possibly pull out to escape such a hopeless situation in a real fight, right?</p>
<p>Well fortunately, defending against multiple attackers who’ve pinned you isn’t as hopeless a scenario as you might think.<span id="more-352"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Fighting Multiple Attackers In<br />
Close Quarters Combat Against A Wall</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="390" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zp-EV8Q7VIY?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zp-EV8Q7VIY?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Ok, you’re jacked up against a wall by several attackers with nowhere to go.</p>
<p>No matter how much you can bench press, the force of the other fighters is too much for you to push against in order to escape.</p>
<p>But while your brain is thinking “push”, simple street fight physics dictates that the path of least resistance is your best technique for self defense.</p>
<p>You see, while you may not be able to push multiple attackers forward, your body does have mobility from side to side.</p>
<p>In fact, the more your attackers push forward, the more lateral movement you have as their force actually provides you with additional sideways mobility.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Sneaky Street Fight Self Defense Technique<br />
To Crumple Multiple Attackers Like Magic</h2>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have two fighters or thirty-five fighters pinning you against a wall, the self defense technique I’m about to describe to you will work almost like magic.</p>
<p>But you have to act fast because you want to avoid getting punched as much as possible.</p>
<p>Your first move is to choose just one single person among the multiple attackers you’re facing, preferably the person closest to you, but it really doesn’t matter as long as he’s in the close quarters combat zone.</p>
<p>Now, reach for that person and choose any close target where you can gain leverage.</p>
<p>My favorite is his chin because when it comes to street fighting, if you can control his head, the rest of his body will follow.</p>
<p>However, any close leveraging target, such as the inside or outside of his elbow, will work.</p>
<p>Now, with one hand, reach up and quickly push your target sideways as he’s pushing in toward you.</p>
<p>Having your back against a wall will actually give you something to push off of to gain more stability and power.</p>
<p>At the same time as you’re pushing, shift your body in the opposite direction, moving laterally along the wall.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How This Street Fighting Technique<br />
Defeats Multiple Attackers So Fast…</h2>
<p>Ok, this is where this amazing street fighting move does its magic.</p>
<p>Because the force of the multiple attackers are pushing in toward you, as your body shifts out of their way, their momentum remains moving forward.</p>
<p>As you push one of the attackers sideways and move along the wall, you’ll find that all of the fighters instantly implode on one another, likely falling to the ground in a crumpled mess while you make your escape through the opening you just created.</p>
<p>Sound like a street fighting fairytale to you?</p>
<p>Well you don’t have to believe me that this multiple attacker move works.</p>
<p>Get five, ten, or twenty of your friends to pin you against a wall as hard as they can and prove it to yourself by using this simple self defense technique.</p>
