How to End a Fight in Seconds

Learn Self-Defense

If you're faced with a larger attacker, the importance of going pre-emptive is huge. If you want to take out a bigger attacker, you need to strike first in a fight. You want to put as many odds into your favor as possible.

It might be considered a cheap shot by some, but honestly would you rather wait and be gravely injured before defending yourself? It's best to just go pre-emptive and strike first. First though, you want to try and verbally diffuse the situation. If you've done everything you can and nothing seems to be working, then you strike back and defend yourself physically.

One of the most important strikes is the head butt. If you're talking to your attacker, or if he lowers his head to speak down at you, you head butt him as quickly and strongly as possible.

Another possible hit to commit is a double palm strike. One hand will come forward, another will come on top and then you can snap the neck by moving towards your opponent. You must drive that power that is in your palms forward and strike towards the attacker's neck, creating a lot of damage into the head area.

To continue, another strike which comes to use in this type of situation is a hammer fist. If your opponent is coming at you and you are talking to him trying to distract him, you can bring your hands up and then perform a hammer fist towards the facial area, particularly the nose.

One last possible self-defense move you can perform is an elbow strike at your opponent, right through the center line, which is a very devastating blow because it's non-telegraphic, coming straight through the middle.

These are some of the basics and best ways to strike back against your attacker and end a fight as quickly as possible.

You broke his heart, basically called him fat

I did what you said. I tried to de-escalate the situation, but the arguing continued. When I was sure the arguing would only escalate, mid sentence I landed a shot on the nose & a couple left hooks to the jaw & the fight was ended very quickly. However I got jumped on by the rest of the family who said that's not how you treat your mother & was told never come back to the house & I ruined Christmas dinner

A friend just told me he had his nose broken in three places. I said, "If I were you, I'd stay out of those places!"

Word of advice, if someone is trying to hurt you there is no such thing as cheap shots or fighting dirty.

You know how I really end a fight. You take off your clothes and run at him

I’ve legitimately seen a headbutt end an argument in a second. Dude just immediately backed off cuz he just realized the guy was way crazier than he thought. It was impressive

[jaydawgdewitte]

It's not a sucker punch if they're starting shit with you. They should know the minute they start shit that a fight is very possible - it's what they're looking for anyway.

There are no rules in a streetfight, first thing is to avoid it, getting hit and falling on a hard surface can be fatal.

[daobesebeast]

You forgot one very effective way that works better than everything you showed. Since the other man is considerably heavier, you could run away and chances are you would have no legal trouble or physical damage.

"How to End a Fight in Seconds and get into more fights once in jail".

I was in the U.S.M.C. for a couple of years, and apparently the hand to hand techniques were quite ingrained in me.
There was a guy named Ron who didn't like vets for some reason. Ron walked up and pushed me; (Ron was much larger than me.)
He shoved me back a couple of steps.
I walked back towards Ron; he attempted to push me again, instead of pushing me, I executed a simple shoulder throw.
He landed on the sidewalk hard.
I didn't think about throwing him, the toss was without thought; pure reflex.
I don't know about any of you folks, but landing on a sidewalk will usually take the fight out of just about anyone.
If that fails to do the trick, then I suggest running away.

the best way to end a fight is AVOID IT. ALWAYS. EVEN IF YOU ARE WELL TRAINED .
