Punching on the Street

Many of you may know this; many of you may not. Here's the secret: don't punch with a first on the street.

Why? I once met a man. He told me about how he got into a fight. He punched a guy, knocked him out, but fractured his hand in the process. Yes, he won that fight. But, although he has one fight, he may not win the many more yet to come if he keeps fracturing his fist like that.

If punches don't work, what does? Well, you could always use open palm strikes. Ridgehand or backfist strikes may work. You can always use elbows, knees, and kicks.

Basically, my point is, if you have to use your fist, then use it. If you can spare your fist, then do so. In the end, it does not matter as long as you are safe.
