Hey, I know how to fight and I know all the punches and moves but I am really slow and even though I exhale while punching,my punch does little damage on the opponent.Why does this happen?
I'm good, mate
Tony you can't believe how much your channel helped me in terms of improving my boxing , so much that I have a playlist of 514 vidoes of boxing , and 2/3 of it is your videos, LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Can you make a video for how to be able to do cardio for a long time
@@AryanGooriah try not going in thinking you know how to fight we all learning try to not tense your body up and breath on hits if that doesn’t get you results try shadow boxing with bands or 1-2lbs weights
Avoid conflict as much as possible don’t be a bully or a victim
Well said
@@shalehausler4383 How the fucc was that well said..!?!? Read that shit again🤦
It's well said because it's the smartest approach in life. Be confident yet calm. Don't project being vulnerable or trying to overcompensate by being a bully. Both are equally as weak.

"Avoid conflict as much as possible don't be a bully or a victim "
Please explain what I am missing?
@@shalehausler4383 it's been explained twice now to him lol. Nevermind, back to boxing.
Right before every street fight, I take my pants completely off. The other guy always runs away.
lol that kind of depends on what neighborhood you’re in and some people might like that haha :) but I got a handed to you. That was funny. Thanks for the good laugh :)
Hahahahahahhahaha could be a good technic

See you at the cheeseburger picnic.

Here's a weird one.
If they empty their pockets, they're a fighter.
Speaking as a Bouncer, Every person I've seen dump their pockets onto the table or a friends hand, turned out to be a fighter.
well yeah... you don't want to do a kick and then your phone falls out your pocket. or you got keys sticking through the fabric into your quad. that shit can sting if you're unfortunate and then you're limited to only using hands. also if the scuffle gets serious you don't want to catch a stray hit and they damage whatever is in your pockets.
@@GiblixStudio also because they are so clear headed and not acting off animal like instincts, the phone in their pocket could become a distraction if theyre worried about losing it. i remember i got in a fight at someones house and the dude was flailing around and almost pushed me into the owners TV. Trying to not break shit and also beat this dude up made it way harder
True. It Removes excess weight and helps balance out the body.
Equilibrium and Speed are key in a fight.
You should how people's faces change expression when I take off my glasses and 3 large scars with the "fighter's bump". That alone has made a good number back down right there.

There's one sport you missed that's likely to lead to cauliflower ears - rugby! But then I wouldn't want to pick a fight with a tight head prop either!
A rugby player would also kick my ass so the rule still stands! 😂
Came here to say just that.
Rather fight a fighter than a rugby player. Those some scary dudes who don't give a F@*&.
"Rugby is just a bunch of guys huddled around in a circle, sticking their noses up each other's butts and saying, 'Nice game'". Robin Williams
I would rather face a boxer than a rugby player.
Personally, I always become suspicious they know how to fight within a few minutes after waking up in the hospital
I normally offer the draw at that point.
😂
I've hung around with a few lads over the years who like a drink and a fight on a weekend and their key to success was more often than not, throwing the first punch and making it count. It'd be instigation (whatever caused the conflict), words (anything but an apology), wallop
Or when my attacks using my head to punch their fist hurts me more than them. Sure sign.
Huh...that guy poked me in the throat with 2 fingers, then front kick, back kick, same leg hook kick comboed me. He might know something about fighting....nah, couldn't be! He just got lucky!!
So after 2 decades of combat sports, i have yet to get into a street fight unless i chose to get into it. Dont be worried about fighting someone who trains, unless you are out starting fights.
I once got a group of guys thrown out of a nightclub. They waited the whole night for me to come out. I've been through many disagreements in my life and this was the funniest. 10 guys waiting for me, asking me to round the corner for a chat. I obliged, curious as to what arguments they had managed to cook up while waiting. As expected they were quite loud, so i put my hands in my pockets and listened to their gesturing and loud words until I got bored and then left with my girl.
You can spot the talkers from the truly violent quite easily. These were punks and it got boring fairøy quickly.
One time when I was riding the bus, another passenger asked me if I was a football player or some other kind of athlete. I figured he guessed it because I was wearing my college jacket, but he said no... it was because of the way I carried myself, that I was so light on my feet and walked with such grace and confidence. I told him it's because I trained in boxing and martial arts. He said, yes that he could tell that by watching me. It was so random to receive this observation, but truly it was one of the greatest compliments someone ever gave me.
Ah. Once had a guy asking me if I was a professional dancer of all things.
One time I had a chap start yelling threats from behind me and when I did the toe pivot into stance he was startled and tried to say he was talking to the person behind me, him and i where the only two on the street at the time
My grandfather warned me about the ears when I was a kid. During the 80s most people thought that wrestling was just a sport. It wasn't considered a dangerous martial art. (It's funny how times have changed.). My grandpa explained that a wrestler will get you on the ground and there is nothing that you could do about it.
All you can do in that position is pray to god that he lets you go if it’s a street fight
I mean, you can poke their eyes out when they're tackling you, before they get you on the ground if we're talking about no rules fight. Even in MMA wrestlers take quite a few hits before they even get an opponent on the ground and it's considered a big disadvantage of wrestling vs punching and kicking. And it often takes wrestlers quite some time to take opponent on the ground. So much that even in a 5-minute rounds in MMA there's not enough time to then do a submission.
@@KulaGGinbro what the fuck are you talking about wrestlers maul strikers as soon as they get their hands on them and that happens pretty fast in the octagon
Normies used to know that Wrestling is the most dangerous martial art.
But then TV and movies came.
And a sad fact is: grappling looks like shit on the screen... while Bruce Lee Chuck Noris crap looks amazing on screen.
So in the 70s and 80s everyone went on a Karate-Kung-Fu-Ninja craze.
And normies forgot about Wrestling.
But lately MMA is becoming more normie so they are learning again.
ps.
I'd say the gap wasn't that big...
only ~40 years from when they forgot until they remembered again.
@@KulaGGin bro check the stats...
copy/paste this into google: "Primary Fighting Styles of UFC Champs"
I'd share the link but UA-cam censors all comments with links.
out of 100+ UFC champions Wrestling is no1 by far as a base martial art
no1 by far Wrestling
no2 is BJJ
no3 is Boxing
CHIN TUCKED IN!!!
This!!!
Yeah, alpha wannabees will lift their chin to try and look dominant,
making a perfect target, lol.
Look at young Tyson vs Old Tyson. As he gained in age and lost his early trainers, he left his chin up far too much.
Had he kept his chin tighter against Holyfield, I am pretty sure that fight goes very differently early on.
maybe not if are a karate/kung fu fighter.
@@hera-nf8mz it really doesn't matter the discipline. If you stick that chin out there you stand a much bigger chance of someone finding the button
He assumes a combat position and is quiet and collected about the whole ordeal, nothing else matters. Those are signs that that person has done this before.
fighters dont talk, and talkers dont fight
@@ForTehNguyenfighters use their words to de escalate a situation (at least if you're law enforcement anyway...)
@@ForTehNguyenwhy people spread that nonsense I will never know.
What you really have to worry about, is when someone switches from an aggressive state to a calm, and calculating one rapidly as the fight starts.
They use their aggression into baiting you to strike first, then reveal how they actually are as soon as someone tries to throw the first punch.
@@ForTehNguyenmayweather talks non stop about
i remember i saw a guy getting bullied on the street once. a punk was trying to hit him with a skateboard. the agressor was acting all tough and the bystander was so calm, he was laughing at the bully and saying "what are you going to do, hit me with the skateboard" then he said "is that what you are going to do" he was super calm and laughing. The bully held up the skateboard to hit him and in a flash a single jab splatted the bullies face and had the bully running away. i never forgot that day as the guy looked so normal and not agressive at all
Sounds like the guy was playing with the skateboarder mentally, if he's close enough then swinging a skateboard is going to usually use both hands and be slower than a punch so he was leading him into trying to use the skateboard.
Think a skateboard could be an interesting weapon if used right, it can be a small shield as well as a striking weapon if you grab the wheels from underneath and have the board lean against your forearm i'd imagine.
Me n my buddy were at a party and these guys were trying to take his skateboard. One of them hit him. I was inside and I heard “there’s a rumble outside” It sounded like there was 10 people fighting. I went outside and it was just my buddy. Out in the street looked like a car wreck: one guy was lying on the ground and the other guy was walking around goin “I’m bleeding outta my head!” I later heard one of them had a concussion.
I'm in my 50s and haven't been in a ring for over 20 years. A couple of years ago I was at an ATM when a grubby looking bloke walked up and told me to give him my wallet. I said no, and told him to go away because he's going to get hurt. Much to my surprise he walked off, but after walking about 100 metres he turned around and shouted "You ain't gonna do f**K all." And then he left the scene.
@@davidmccann9811 ha what a flop , i bet if you had have taken a step to chase him he would have shit himself
Why did I read your comment using that cool UK accent?
One thing I also look for, the guy trying to pick a fight in a bar is unlikely to have a lot of. fight experience. Training in a gym, gets your desire to fight out of your system.
The guy trying to calm things down or walking away probably knows what it can be like
People who know how to fight also tend to know how serious a matter a streetfight is. One bad KO and you're catching a manslaughter charge.
@@jacepark5057 THIS! It's always better to avoid fighting when possible.
In my younger days, especially high school and two years of college, i caught a lot of guff for fighting to win quick.
I tell my nephews and nieces to hit the soler plexus, throat, kick the inside of the thighs and groin, heel to knees.
As far as the cauliflower ears and nose so flat you can kiss a wall, when i traveled around living rough in the early 1970s,
i was surprised that in Mexico, they respected a man who could fight, yet had no marks of pugilism as a habit.
Called that man El Hombre.
That's solid advice for ur family. I'll add one: While doing a front kick to the groin, I tilt which ever foot I'm kicking with outward. It can slide up in there better.
@@jimlance583 Right up the old canal lol
People that think street fights are long drawn out affairs or should be are dense.
@@Rhiorrha The 'ol tater hole!
Tony knows his stuff! Was hilarious when he tags BoB for no reason... BoB wasn't ready for it! LOL
Bob will get him next time.
I've seen hundreds of videos of bob getting punched, kicked etc.... never seen him get dropped tho or complain... tough bloke is old bob
LOL... Yessir!
Bob's kind of a dummy though.
A master of the tea ceremony accidentally offended a samurai and the samurai challenged him to a duel. The tea ceremony guy asked a swordsman to teach him, to increase his chances of living. After some pointless tutorials the swordsman advised the master of the tea ceremony to approach the duel as he would a tea ceremony, to become still, to focus, just as he would before performing the tea ceremony. As the master of the tea ceremony approached the duel the samurai saw him and became scared. He conceded and said that he did not know his opponent was a master swordsman and begged his forgiveness.
You left the part out, the tea guy preforms the tea ceremony before the samurai before he stood and draw his weapon.
" This is so serious to me, first I will stop for tea."
My grandpa fought WW II Pacific theater.

There was a famous Chinese general named Zhuge Liang who was in a fort with only a handful of soldiers when an enemy warlord rolled up with a huge force. Zhuge Liang was famous for brilliant tactics, trickery, and ambushes.
He stepped out and stood in front of the fort's gates with his lute and just stood there and calmly played. The warlord saw this, assumed it was a trap, and left.
Yeah nice story from King of the Kicboxers...
Excellent advice Tony!! I actually stopped a fight without even throwing a punch, by just taking my boxing stance, and yelling, "Do you really want to go?!"
I think another sign is someone who has the postures shown in this video and is perfectly capable of walking away from a fight. That person can fight, but doesn't want to. I think that is more courages than enagging in a fight where the outcome is uncertain...
I like how you connect each video to the next, I could spend all night watching and learning!!
Happy to hear that!
100% great video like they say it’s the quite one you have to watch!
Walked into a bar with a couple friends one night, there was some jabbering at us from the bar. One guy at the bar got pissed enough to take out his false teeth and put 'em on the bar. Well, then there's that.
That just shows he's a bad enough fighter that he got all his teeth knocked out :D
@@genghiskhan7041 Teeth replacements in dentures are expensive in some places. Might as well get a new set...neither is cheap. My mom has to go through this crap when all she had to do was brush and floss in her 20's and 30's...smh
@@Rhiorrha Good point.
I have a habit of always tugging the tops of my pants so that i can do high round house kicks. Came from years of Kyokushin and the sweaty gi sticking to my thighs. Been doing BJJ for 4 years and did MMA for 3 and have no cauliflower ear (thankfully). I remember when I did MMA, the realization that in one month of training (18-21hrs of mat time), we fought more than most people would ever fight in their life. Not only that, we PAID to get beaten up and loved it. Fighters are a difderent breed of cat, thats for sure.
Great video. You nailed all of them.
I'm not a fighter but I watched this in hopes I can make someone else believe I am
the best way to avoid having to fight is becoming a trained fighter.
You'll be nervous if the situation arises and you aren't used to getting hit in the face and hit into faces
It doesn't really work like that becuase it's the training that makes the change. I know he said they look calm, smiling, etc, but the reality is that it's always a stressful situation the body is starting to release adrenaline etc no matter how prepared you feel. And that is when the training kicks in - you just automatically start to do all the things you have done many times before; adjusting your balance and stance, positioning your hands (not necessarily raising a guard but just getting them to a place where you can) etc. It all just happens automatically because you have done it so many times, it's hard even to not do it. And I don't think you can fake that.
The next video should be how to tell if someone is pretending to know how to fight.
Mike Tyson walks up in a boxing stance. It is in that moment where I would assess that the person not only knows how to fight, but that I am about to die.
Thanks Tony, great video mate
To add to this list:
- Standing Posture is many of the times bladed, and the person may have a slight shoulder lean depending on the martial art that they train. Bjj guys usually have the worst posture with a bit of a slouch because of guard pulling and playing guard
- the way someone walks is usually a dead giveaway.
If someone has a spring to their gait they've most likely trained some type of TMA like karate, or TKD. Easy to spot because of the added bounce at the end of every step. Some boxers/muaythai/kickboxers will have a similar gait
Judokas, and wrestlers with a four beat gait like a 🐈. Very easy to spot along with noticeable upright posture. Usually have overdeveloped necks, traps, and forearms.
One thing almost all martial artist have in common is great balance and relaxed shoulders. Arms will naturally swing relaxed when walking.
MMA guys will usually have the wrestler walk and tattoos of a samurai or some feline cat
Strikers usually walk with a tucked chin
a chin tuck?
@@NikosAnimals in boxing, leaving your chin exposed (looking straight forward) is a no no, so a chin tuck, (slightly down) reduces the odds of someone getting put in a pack because they left their chin open. Simple?
@@BlueCarrots77 but always walking like that?
@@NikosAnimals idk it is probably a habit they form, I don't walk with a tucked chin
@@BoomDabba always bladed🙏😎
First: cauliflower ears have something to do with the tissue of the ears: if its hard cartilage it will break and form cauliflower ears. If the tissue is soft and flexible you can wrestle on a high level for an eternity and you will see nothing.
Second: a true sign for an experienced street fighter is not if they adjust their clothes: its how they manage distance. I have seen plenty of street fights. Most lasted mere seconds. Because both guys were standing too close to each other. One started the fight with the first punch (obviously). That often ended the altercation with a k.o. already. Because hitting a non moving opponent from a close distance is like shooting sittings ducks: a guaranteed hit.
So you have to keep your distance before the whole thing even starts.
Perfect explanation. 100% accurate. I had to fight for my life since I was a small child. I had to learn to fight whether I wanted to or not. I identified with that 100%. It couldn't be explained any better. Most people have some kind of sixth sense for noticing when they're in trouble and many give up trying to provoke me when they see that I'm already instinctively preparing for a fight. I hate fighting because of the bad memories but I have the reflex to fight and not to run away or beg or give up.
Holy Moly Tony, 2.33m subs that's jumped loads well done mate.
I think #3 is the reason I never got in fights past my teens. My last close encounter I'm pushing 60 and this guy who's maybe 30 and has 4-5 inches height on me walked in front of my car to get me to stop then started to come up to the car when I parked. I thought give him your friendliest smile, this is just a misunderstanding and he has this smile on his face until I get out of the car then he's suddenly serious and spins around and quickly walked away. It was supposed to be a friendly smile.
I also quickly looked for the cameras, he might have thought I was looking for a dead zone to shoot him when I was actually looking for an active zone to record the encounter. I love the information age, when someone messes with me driving I point to my phone that I mounted above the dash and they stop.
Great content! ❤️
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos man!
Glad you like it mate
Hi Tony. I'm no fighter.
Your videos just popped up from nowhere when I was listening to some pip-squeak handelian tenors.
I just want to say how wonderfully entertaining you are and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. You are a very talented presenter/communicator regardless of your boxing prowess; of which I am in no position to judge..
It is easy to see why your channel and you are so successful and popular.
Bravissimo! 😃👍
Sounds about right, another one that I have is very scarred hands , knuckles specifically. Lots of scars mainly from teeth. I am an old fella now so common sense prevails and I just walk away.
Good ol fashioned elbow thrower. Hats off!
I'm not a trained fighter, but I'm very comfortable in a fight, not scared. I definitely stand like a fighter would. And when I hit someone it usually takes one blow and they have the size of a golf ball on their head and bleeding. I've put one guy bigger than me in the hospital, and fear hitting guys much smaller than me because I know my power. I've been in a lot of street fights. I have studied fighting on my own and practiced some moves over the years. I've pulled them off in real fights, and had never used submissions on anyone before then, but was very comfortable going to them in the fight.
As long as you ain’t bullying anyone that’s really cool! With that type of power you have responsibility!
@@Harry64278 I don't bully anyone or start fist fights. People start them with me and have tried bullying me. I will confront a bully and let them know I'm not scared of them, but I'm not looking for a fight.
you are talking shit.
@@Nihilanth1982 I've been in enough fights to know what I'm capable of. I've seriously hurt people many times because I have a gift when it comes to speed and arm strength, and you would have known this watching me pitch in baseball or just throw a baseball for distance.
@@ebogar42 and you felt the need to boast about a pile of shyte to random strangers in a YT comments section. Go you!
Thank you for your teaching
I used to train with a guy who carried a mouthguard with him at all times. He got into a road rage incident with someone and the guy got out of the car. He got out as well but put in his mouth guard. It was a very quick resolution
Your friend who always carried the mouth guard would not do well against my friend who always carries a gun😂
@@edwardwhakatihi1226 that’s very true but he always carries as well.
@@mostlypeacefuljogger4622 Touché 🤣
@@edwardwhakatihi1226 but you are most definitely right, gun always beats fists. 🤣
@@mostlypeacefuljogger4622 Depends on distance really if they are within 10 feet of you they can close the gap and get you down before you can draw that gun. If they have a knife they could really do some damage to you, that old idiom don't bring a knife to a gun fight only applies if you got significant range on your opponent.
So true.. A big muscle bound guy on the street doesn't scare me at all.. It's the slim wirey athletic guy that has speed and cat-like reflexes, he's the one I'm concerned about it.. Most bodybuilders can't fight. They are just very insecure people hiding behind their muscles.. I mean unless a guy is just so ridiculously big that you just can't do anything to him, like some world class strongman who is 7 feet tall and weighs over 400 pounds with a certain amount of athletic ability to go with his enormous size, well that may be different.. But there ain't too many guys like that anyway
@@QueensNativeNYC usually big people are slow, lower body exposed , move robotically to easy. No matter size speed and balance always win.🙏😎
Hey Tony. Love your vids. ❤ Can you plz make more vids on defending in a real boxing scenario 🙏
This guy's hilarious! Love it!
My dad said never fight someone you know you cant beat i wish ide had followed his instructions😢
You will never know if you don't try! I fought a guy when i was 18 years old He was taller than me, gym kind of guy i weighed like 91 kg maybe He weighed the same as me, I connected two punches at first(in a combination) then He threw one and i dodged it, i felt the power in the punch, luckily He backed up and didn't want to continue fighting i think He could have messed me up haha, but hey! I tried! And i earned my respect 👍🏻
My dad said never hit a guy with your bare hands. :)
@@ngarbergood on him but like if you're in a street fight, back on the wall, nowhere to go and he starts to throw punches, then will you fight back, there ain't no way you gonna spawn in boxing gloves like /summon minecraft:boxing_gloves
I assume what your dad said really meant don't throw the first punch?
@@BlueCarrots77 No, he meant use a weapon if you can find one. Or your feet. I was studying music at the time, so he thought it best not to mess my hands up in a fight. :)
@@ngarber nvm your dad is a menace man, he bouta pull out a sharpness V netherite sword in a fight I better not screw with him lol I'd never use a weapon in a fight, I always believe that using a weapon in a fist fight is for people willing to get 1v5ed on but using your feet is valid, as long as you don't get countered by them grabbing your leg and tossing you over
Along with nose and ears, the hands can be a giveaway too.
how
@@NikosAnimals scarred, callous knuckles. Flattened/squared off knuckles can indicate boxing, fingers can indicate grappling experience. Of course, it's not always conclusive proof (neither are cauliflower ears or broken nose) but can indicate that someone has done a bit.
@@BostinBlackCountryVeggie ah cool
You are my hero❤
Good video this, whilst avoiding hassle is the best option, i watch for all those signs if it gets a bit heated, i amateur boxed for a couple of years, by no means that good but i won a bit more that i lost, the gym turned out some decent boxers so was a good place to be, however... was a great life skill to learn not to underestimate any one. Its not the ones beating their chests and squaring up that are the concern, its the ones calmly adjusting their feet ito a stable stance.
It has become second nature for me to adopt a boxing stance and get my hands up and elbows tucked in, happens with no prior thought if the pub erupts into some sort of nonsense.
Reading body language seems to be the key to avoiding too much hassle
I wish this guy would tell us how many fights he’s been in!
He did in one of his last videos
@@rowanschischka3834 Doesn’t anyone understand sarcasm anymore?
@@rowanschischka3834 Did that on that one as well but both that part and sarcasm went over your head.

ear or nose... i love this guy... my father told me a story of when he was in his 40s, some younger guy was giving him the business and he simply told him, yes, you may be able to beat my ass but i'm willing to go through a hell of a lot more pain to prove a point. the guy walked away...
Thanks bro
So helpful sir❤❤❤
Happy to help mate 🥊

Having an ear like this or a nose like that doesn't mean they can fight, it means they can get hit and have been 😂
Cauliflower ear isn’t caused by getting hit, it’s caused by hours of grappling. A guy with cauliflower ears will definitely tune guys like you up no problem
@@Adam-ey4iv 💪💪💪guys like me - keyboard warrior? 🤣🤣🤡
It's a sign of experience and if the guy is experienced then he definitely isn't panicking and if there's no panic - he will be able to fight normally, strategically.
Even if he's not good at it, he can fight and that's already a sign to back up, because poor technique (although existing one) and some luck can mess you up.
@@Rusco17 competitive Muay Thai fighter for 14 years with over 40 fights, and a keyboard warrior
@@Adam-ey4iv oh really? Never heard of you. But good for you. Shame you have to have a go at people on youtube to help with your insecurities and make you feel tough.
As someone whos role brings them into contact with members of the public, many of whom are upset by action I have taken, it is always good to be able to pick up on clues as to peoples possible behaviour. I am trained in de-escalation and encourage to walk away, but there is always the opportunity for the situation to turn nasty.
Yes, and no. I’ve also encountered people who tick every box on this list, and discovered that it’s all just another feint.
As well, even someone with little skill can have luck, and being skilled doesn’t mean you’ll win. There’s so many variables.
Ultimately, you are either the one down on the ground, or you’re not.
I think I'll just learn to exhibit these 4 signs and bluff my way through life
The cauliflower ear is the only dead giveaway and maybe the way they post up. Other than that you never truly know till its time to throw down. They always say the "calm cool collect" but i know plenty of guys at my fight gym that get hot over the slightly disrespect and will fight over anything just to put people in there place.
Great videos
Glad you like them Ross
I trained boxing 5 years and Muay Thai since one and half year and my nose and my ears are perfect. I never did a professional combat or amateur, only light sparring in the gym during training. I think that you hit the spot about the stance and the confidence. I know more people that can fight and you can only see that because they are very confident and because they will have a combat stance.
One sign a guy does NOT know how to fight is when he takes his shirt off 😂
Disagree, if you have time, do it. Getting your arms tied up in a fight ice hockey style is not good or getting your favourite shirt ripped up in a fight sux too.
Disagree, my dad was a boxer and he usually took his shirt off in a street fight, in the amateur league in QLD, his record was like 10-1 his only loss in it being from having the flu at the time.
@@BlueCarrots77 I fought in the ring too, and you definitely want your shirt off there. I was talking about street fights, when some dudes get into arguments and all of a sudden the shirt comes off. It’s usually these dudes that talk the most crap and they don’t really fight.
Disagree.
What I personally look for is if my opponent has been trained to strike his hands will be open or relaxed while in there stance. Out of all the fights I been in outside of the ring are mostly not trained. The fact that I do train and boxed for many years I do "win" with my advantage of experience and years of training. I only trained boxing and that works great for the average punk starting shit with me. I know all the MMA guys usually have a lot to say on the internet when it comes to boxing but anyone trained in boxing or MMA or any fighting style like myself are not looking to fight outside of competition. We try to avoid that kind of stuff. And all my experience fighting on the "streets" the opponent is not properly trained in anything, so boxing works great even if they are MMA fans.
So usually if the other guy is starting trouble in the first place I can say is a good indicator that they are not trained in any kind of fighting. Us with fight experience and with years of training get nothing from beating up untrained people on the streets. Usually when someone is looking for a fight they are trying to prove something to themselves or others around, not something a trained fighter would do.
That's just my personal opinion based on my personal experiences.
this is a good guide to what to do to make people believe you can fight, even if you can't. OTOH, if you can't fight, you should run. And OTOH, if you can run, you should, regardless of your fighting ability
Nice to see a fellow Sunderland lad doing so well for himself
Always assume your opponent is more advanced in fighting than you!
Reversely, the best way to tell either one can't fight is that he always carries a gun.
I have to veto every single point I am afraid. It could mean that but it could also mean the opposite. There is no way to tell until shit gets down.
i like how the clothes adjustment was at the end.
STOP GIVING AWAY MY SECRETS! The stance, the adjusting of my shorts, the smile on my face, me asking "Are you sure about this?" while smiling...all indicators of how bad your day is about to be. Elbows, knees, shins and a whole lot of hurting is coming.
Doesn't matter how well they can fight.
Never bring fists to a gunfight.
Coward much??
@@DoctorLogic-gt1quhe’s talking about combat not playing sport like a lot of the men running around here treating violence as a game sport
@@AbramHadnot Yeah big bad combat man! An old woman can pull a trigger. Guns take away the violence, it keeps those pretty little hands clean. How's that for violence? LOL
@@DoctorLogic-gt1qu men have been leveraging tools of violence to exert their will over others since swords and shields. Tools for particular jobs. I don't condone violence, I think reason should always be in the equation -- men ought to choose reason and diplomacy over violence. You don't respect what you put your hands on, and if there's no honor in your violence all bets are off.
"Don't look at it, just do work." _Everyone_ is a potential "killer" in my eyes.
I've had my nose broken 4 times, and it looks surprisingly intact. Did martial arts for 20+ years on and off, including 2 styles of jiujitsu, shaolin and Muay Thai, and bounced in several bars, including 2 biker bars. I still don't have cauliflower ears.
Seeing how they're dressed and how their body weight is distributed, their confidence level, and their level of awareness and comportment are all valid indicators as well.
ALWAYS check the ears, apologize if necessary
I would say, if someone have visible damages from fighting, they can't fight
Tell that to the whole UFC roster, basically.
@@Angel-fz8dr - hehe! I was just joking, pretty sure they know how to fight
And don't confuse cocky with confident.
Another sure sign is that person is hyper focused while calming analyzing the surrounding, the other person's body position, limb placement, strength and weaknesses to identify their vulnerable points to attack should that person initiate any sudden movement that resembles an attack. I.e. the game plan against a big dude in tight space would be very different from a small nimble dude in open space.
In both cases I pull out the knife and I'm the predator now.
From way back in the day, I remember this stuff. ;-) But... when fights broke out, people really didn't have much time to get into a stance or adjust their clothes. Hopefully you might have the time to do it surreptitiously, but go time came really, really fast.
In my limited experience going back to the early 80s, those that were good on the dancefloor were often good at fighting.
I dont like to fight, but I visit your video because of your nice english speech. :-)
Adjusting clothes includes extra tight shoe laces, perfectly fitted pants and a shirt just strong enough to grab but just barely weak enough to rip.
Generally, the quiet, polite, fit looking fellows can handle themselves. Also, the eyes give it away. Best to avoid confrontation. Silence is a good response to a challenge.
I've been fighting for 20+ years and never developed cauliflower ear. I have had the cartilage in my nose rearranged a few times, but it never gave me that "boxer's nose" you always see. The biggest indicator is calmness while maintaining a ready stance.
Heck! I enjoyed this quick overview very much. Pretty accurate and no juju. When you said: "calm like this" your whole body was wiggling! 😂 ❤ Subscribed.
I’ve avoided a lot of fights by just being very calm and looking confident. I don’t back down and don’t talk too much. I do have some experience wrestling but mostly that mindset came from years of athletics in general.
Tony you could not be more right about people seeing a flat nose and assuming you are a fighter, but there can be cases when it is not true, especially as in my case. I at the age of 11 fell off a cliff in Clovelly, that destroyed the inside of my nose making it flat and rubbery. As such in my teenage years, I was given the respect and even fear by other kids as being a hard nut which I certainly was not, which was helped by a girl giving me the nickname of Butch. I can recall quite a few times with a gang of lads following me and coming across another gang who wanted us or dare I say 'me' taking them on and I can well recall literally 'shitting my self with fear' but amazingly, I believe due to being a natural show-off and liked acting, I faced up to them with wild eyes and they would back down.
After school and a few disasters at finding work and not getting on with my father, I chose to join the RAF and two things happened that greatly changed my life and fundamentally agree with the point you made about the physical aspect of a person's face.
Quite soon after joining the RAF I did get into a fight with another airmen who knew nothing of my reputation, i.e. Butch, I lost badly as he could fight far better than I could. Amazingly this really hurt my 'false' pride and thus it prompted me to join the camp's Tae Kwon Do club, which over the next five years reached Brown belt, matured and the discipline and focus led to me to doing very well later in life studying, getting good qualifications and jobs. It also I believe later in life when two Egyptians tried to mug me with knives, maybe saving my life, I even many years later used my Tae Kwon Do skills to leave them lying on the floor, allowing to me run away to safety.
I also managed to get an RAF Senior Surgeon to agree to do a major quite expensive cosmetic nose job to give me a proper nose again, primarily telling the story of how people wanted to fight me because they thought I was hard. I admit I left out the bit of doing Tae Kwon Do though. As such the nose was not as good as I would have liked, but I certainly found, especially the ladies, liked me more and after leaving the RAF to have three more careers did rather well, one a professional presenter which I doubt I would have done still looking like a boxer or wrestler.
It would be really cool to see you give judo a go Tony!
I will be subing you. I want to learn more from you.
the front row in a rugby scrum can give you ears like that.
Nice thing about Judo and JJ if you go with the gi you can avoid cauliflower ear.
The noise is also a indicator. People who can't fight are loud. They try to intimidate with a lot of noise. Beware of those are silent.
I read this story. He showed the tea guy one stance and one strike only. Told him to treat it with the same empty mindedness applied during the tea ceremony and face the swordsman when he approached without moving or saying anything. Attack with the same conviction as if it were the last tea ceremony he was performing before death. Something like that. His empty unmoving calm scared the swordsman into retreating. Something like that. Mind-no mind
Also, openly wearing the skulls of fallen enemies on a belt or wearing a necklace strung with ears is a big indicator.
I always watch for the ears.
Thanks
So having your face rearranged from being pounded so often makes you a great fighter. Awesome! 🤓
Ty for our education,
1. Trust your danger instinct.
I'm not a good fighter, but i have displayed some of these traits unknowingly. My favorite bar tender was dating a bad man. I told her my opinion of him not knowing he was in earshot. He puffed up on me and threatened me. I was told i laughed at him and stepped back on one foot. I am an amateur in Akido and boxing. Apparently, that was enough to call his bluff. He backed off, and nothing went down that night. She broke up with him months later when he raised a hand to her.
I know a guy who started JJ, got the ears in 2 weeks, he was still a white belt
W Tony
I never thought about it but I do always pull my pants up before a fight and lift the front leg of my pants so it's easier to kick. Not that I fight a lot these days. I'm too old for street fights... Lol
Dummy went good night at the end. 🤣I was fighting once in my life during military service. I never encountered an agressive situation since then due to avoidance.
Hey man, my nose is huge and it got broken by a door slamming straight into it, when another person was tackled into that same door, from the other side. Now people are gonna think I can't fight at all lol
Smiles with eye contact, whilts removing watch.
Walking around in a rash guard for a shirt is also a pretty good sign
A fifth way to know if someone knows how to fight: Are they still standing over you when you wake up? If they are, they've done this before.
