This is way better than my usual fighting style. I used to just wrap up in a ball and pray for death, but this whole "fighting back" idea has merit! Thank you very much, sir.

This time Mark is getting beaten up. The other guys look so happy to punch Mike. But at last Mike finally took the revenge and kept the legacy on...

Years ago, I was maliciously attacked by 6 individuals at once…when standard defense began to fail…the “ball curl” technique saved my life. You can’t block 12 hands, and 12 feet.

[joequillun]

I like the "sweep the feet" move, so when the opponent is down, (at your level), you can bring in the elbows, or back fists. Thanks for the tips guys.

“Who’s the bad guy now!” 😂 y’all are hilarious. Great video as always, keep up the great and educational work!

Nick's eyes were like 'Payback time' before it dawned on him that he was gonna end up the punch bag again
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

Love this guy... always good content. And realistic situations!

From what I understand of how street fights work, any move you make is simply based on instinct. It may not necessarily be the smartest combative move to make, but when you're in the heat of a fight, you're of course not going to think strategically.

[SpiritRaiser]

Great video! I think also being aware on what's on the ground with you, broken glass, chemicals, biowaste, etc. Is also important, it could make you choose where to move on your back so you don't get it in your back or worst your head.

Staying calm in a fight or having a Serene state of mind you can always win right just wanting to see your comment about it I really do love & like this stuff thank you man you be safe & stay safe everyone

[fltribes]

Dr. Mark- I love the way you teach... but truthfully ANY one of your "turtle-back foot strikes" would have assured you some leisure time to return to a standing position 🤣 -and always with a great smile -loved it. Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for continuing to share your knowledge around the world. 🤗

Interesting concepts that you've pointed out here

[adampurdy]

Very good demonstration. I was in a similar situation where a guy wanted to mug me. I got thrown to the ground and covered up. By sheer luck I blocked the Kicks to my head and got the timing right, my backpack helped as a sheild. I got back up and they looked shocked that I had sustained almost no damage. I always wondered what the technical defence would be; thanks for showing us. My only concern with this tactic is groin being exposed at times and the grind of concrete on your back, cheers.

[SuperOtter]

Excellent advice sifu. Just went over this exact thing last time I was in the gym.

[edwardwallace]

I’m not much of a fighter but enjoy your content
I’m interested in how someone can stay calm in a fight

[TheFatMan]

Awesome stuff. I felt proud that I thought there was an opportunity to trip/sweep and then you said it. Yay I'm slowly getting it. Love these types of scenarios as well as... well they're all good. Thx

[TIOLIOfficial]

Wow, an actually useful video from this channel? Never thought I'd see that.

[davidevans]

Another very practical and entertaining video. It appears that the best time to stand-up is after your attacker has committed himself to a kick or punch AND is off balance.

[kevinmanning]

Best thing I did was to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for helping myself and so many others.

[leopoldsamsonite]

Great lesson. Have not seen this approach before. Well done. Ty
