I don't fear in the ring anymore during sparring, but I shake like a lil girl on the street when whoever tries to attack me, cause I haven't got into fight before, sadly.

Growing up as a hooligan I remember some of the best street fights I had were against trained individuals. You don't win them all. But what I learned was they were extremely smart and quick to react compared to the average hoodlums id fight. But the one thing I always found interesting was the unwritten rules of street fighting. I never abided by them and only knew do anything to win. It was only after being jumped by 6 kids in the neighborhood my mom told me "As long as you come back home to me, you've won".

Anger is what did it for me. I charged him grabbed him and put him down. Well I didn't punch him, but since then he stopped annoying me and my friends. What he would usually do is, while we play football he always comes in and takes our ball kicking it out of the pitch. The fight ended when his friend came towards us and he pulled me out. They both kept telling me not to fight him after that, because their football trainer was watching them and he was going to punish him or something.. BULLSHIT! - I screamed. Took me 5 to 6 minutes to calm down and my friends were very impressed at that time. Which meant: I was the badass this time.

He’s brilliant! Love that he says “know when to stop!” The point is to protect yourself & ultimately, end any fight as fast as possible. Hopefully the quicker it’s over, the less damage & danger there will be.

When I was young I was in many, many fights. When I got older I became afraid of the amount of damage I could do to another person. In my adult life I have never backed down to anyone and have never had to throw one punch. I don't look for trouble but I make it clear that I am more than capable of finishing it. Walk softly but carry a big stick, stay safe my friends.

I think there is one extremely important tip that Tony did not exactly mention (and that I learned the hard way from my own experience in the streets of Moscow). After you throw that first punch, you need to continue attacking your opponent until you see that they do not want to continue the fight or that they are not a threat to you anymore. If you are not a trained boxer, most probably your first punch will only surprise and somewhat disorient your opponent. When you see them disoriented, your natural reaction is to stop the fight right there (because you are not a violent person and already feel guilty for having hurt someone). However, if you stop, you will make a big mistake, because the fight will not stop. You will simply lose the advantage that you have just won yourself with that first punch. What will happen next is your opponent will recover and come back at you with even more anger and aggression. So, continue punching your disoriented opponent, until it has become clear to both of you that you have won. If they bend, don’t be afraid to kick them in the face. If you are not a trained fighter, your kick will not knock them out or hurt them badly. But it will give them a significant scare and they will lose all their original desire to mess with you. And, of course, never hurt your opponent more than it is objectively needed for your protection and in order to stop the fight. There is no excuse for excessive and unmotivated violence.

The most important thing is composure. Thats a problem that even boxers have, if you've got too much adrenaline or fear or anger you lose your technique and everything you learned goes out the window. But if your calm and composed you have correct technique.

Luckily if you don't go walking around terrible places the only times you will be forced to fight is in/out of night clubs bars etc. So you're fighting drunk people often not knowing what they are doing and trying to achieve. They're wobbly and chaotic. Tony's tip of throwing the first punch is essential. If you're smart it's the right thing to do, my wrist are fucked so I usually use elbows when someone comes up too close. You know you're the better man so it's better for you to knock him. Hit his jaw, if needed follow up with a few more put him in recovery position check his breathing and walk away. If you lose, they might not be understanding. I've seen people head stomping passed out people, disgusting. Don't hesitate

I've been quite a few fist fights in my life, some I've won, and some I've lost. And the main thing I've learned is that no matter what you do, or what you study beforehand - nothing is going to prepare you 100% for a real fight. The main thing that translates into your technique, is first hand experience. I'm not at all saying that training doesn't help or play a key role, because it very much does! But being in the heat of the moment, those milliseconds that pass as the fight is starting and going - those are your best teacher. Once you get into a fight for the first time, and begin to learn how to control that adrenaline and nervousness, you become a better fighter than 90% of people out there. Because most people have never been in a fist fight before; there's almost like a wall you have to climb in order to throw that first punch for the first time. But when you've conquered that wall and push through it, you get better and better in the future. Controlling your emotions and nerves are damn the entirety of it all. And also, do not be afraid of getting hit! It does not hurt no where near as bad as you think, especially when you've got that adrenaline rushing through you. Yes you should avoid being hit in the first place - but once you do get that first punch to your face, win or lose, it's extremely freeing! I know how that must sound but believe me, something just clicks afterwards when you've overcome that fear- and in the future, that makes a 100% difference. Push yourself, and maintain discipline over your nerves.

Great advice again, love all your videos, and if a fight is inevitable and someone is in your face, you can punch first, it is self defence because you are protecting yourself from being hit, you don't have to wait to be attacked

That last point a huge respect "don't keep attacking and doing damage when they are down". If you lose yourself in rage and continue to punch a downed person, the chances of severely injuring them is high not to mention that there is also chance of them dying. I almost took a mans life because I got lost in rage and if my friend didn't pull me back in time, I'd be sitting in prison right now, it is very important to get a handle on your emotions specially rage/anger. I little trick I learned to get control is that whenever I feel angry, I take few seconds to get my breathing in control and focus more on clearing my thoughts (this doesnt mean during fights but any situation that can get an angry emotion out of you).

Years ago when I was training boxing one of the coaches in the gym I trained in was watching me hit the heavy bag. He had a grin on his face and asked me if I ever used what I was learning in the streets. I told him no. I kept to myself and avoided people and places where conflict was more likely. He then told me if I ever landed punches on someone the way I landed them on a heavy bag, that I could do some serious damage. Avoid street fights at all costs. If you find yourself in one that you cannot avoid, finish it quickly and go about your way. Too many situations can turn ugly real fast if you hang around. No one is invincible or unstoppable.

Thank you Tony. Today I was walking through a tunnel with my grandfather and a group of teens my age (about fourteen year old) walked past me, there were probably 2-3 boys and 3 girls in their group ,((I'm a boy)), I didnt really see clearly because it was a little dark. Anyway, one of the girls there started making fake sounds of throwing up, I did not know for sure if she was making those sounds to make me feel bad, but I didn't do/or say anything. Afterall I was alone with my grandfather against a group of seven. So I started feeling sh*t and weak for not doing anything and watching them insult me infront of my grandfather. After I reached home, I immediately opened youtube and searched for street fight guides JUST INCASE. I know in my case, any sort of physical damages were extremely unnecessary but I realized I didn't know how to fight if I needed to. Anyway,thanks again Tony. Great Video.

This just happened to me today. Thank you for this video! I hope it doesn't happen again but if it does, I'll be prepared.

I like to think I have sense...the reason I'm so quick to fight is because I suffer from depression at times and when I feel belittled by someone (which happens quite often) I go into my head and become quiet/not engaged it effects my work and forget about sleeping or eating which lasts 2-3 days until something positive happens...when I physically dominate someone it just takes all the pressure, anxiety and sadness away (I sleep like a baby after I fight tbh) I am able to not blow up at certain people like friends, family, bosses but I would like your honest opinion on how you think I should handle these "avoidable" situations in public?

@@joshTHEHARPOONharper your honesty certainly hit a nerve in me bud...I too suffer from depression, coupled with an amazingly large temper that could level any playing field..breathing is first and key, allows the hart rate to substantially subside, gives power over emotions. Sounds like a good start would be (and I know it sounds funny) but breathing exercises and meditation. Now I consider meditation to be different for everyone, wieght lifting, martial arts, deep breathing, drink boat loads of water always, diet is huge...you have to feed the temple properly (most of the time) some of us love whiskey n marching powder.. Creating things with your hands, building,gardening,art,wieght lifting,stretching,martial arts, love making can all be glorious medicine for the soul. All kinds of mental and physical activities will drain away the stress and allow you to sleep and be thoroughly calm like you described after putting the boots to someone. You sound powerful, respect your power, and feed it healthily..you've also got a great head on yer shoulders...I can tell. Stay strong bro, and love yourself...you're worth it !! 👍

Also make sure that you stare at them in the eyes like a Mike Tyson death stare. Don't blink or look away.

This guy is the man ! I would never start a fight with someone for no reason.. however if they are trying to hurt my family or someone I love , then we have to protect ourselves

When I heard Tony say to do whatever I takes to win, I subscribed. I will always try my best to avoid a fight & thankfully haven’t been in fight in ages & I, too was bullied as a kid. A few years ago, I was at a parade with my family & witnessed a man grab a girl by her hair & started punching her. Hundreds of people were around & nobody did anything to help her so I forced my way between them & pushed the man to the ground. Next thing I knew 5 of his friends were surrounding me & my family. I somehow avoided this situation by calling them out as cowards that hit women but wouldn’t fight another man 1 on 1. This turned out to be true because they reluctantly walked away, cursing me all the while.

Very true lots of fights end before they even start when it's a one on one with just you showing how eager you are . I was bullied and I learned to finally stand up and be down for whatever as a kid.

Thanks for the honest take. Although some of the points may be controversial, they are all correct. Right on!

To throw the first punch is one hell of a brave and dangerous advice. Regardless your skills you never know who you are facing.

And they never know who they are facing

a great video especially for kids without dads or uncles to teach them these hard-learned truths. I'm glad he talks about trying to avoid fights, hurting people, getting hurt etc. Obviously, the most desired outcome is avoiding a fight altogether.

"Do whatever it takes to win. Because if not, they will do it to you." Sounds like good advice!

As a former law enforcement officer, I agree to fight to win. Also, legally in the U.S., you can only do so until you stopped the threat. You're legally covered to stop the problem, so attacking them on the ground after they stopped, you're probably in trouble. Kudos to the channel for recognizing that

Thank you for this video.

Love this advice throw the first punch!! You gotta do what you gotta do strike fast strike hard. Then don’t stop when you catch a break. Lay it on thick

#2 - It takes many hours of practice to throw a punch, fast, accurately, powerfully, well timed through their defenses without leaving yourself wide open. To an observer it just looks like a simple punch, to the trained fighter it was a perfectly executed technique.

Imagine having a little to much to drink and you try to fight Tony! R.i.p.

When fighting you can't give up. Whatever they do they can't break you're will. If they begin to show frustration and start second guessing themselves you took a part of their soul, you already won

But when they do come across any situation they don't know what to do. I will be sharing your videos with youngsters in my family. Thanks lad. Shame you're all the way in LA, would love to meet you.

This is 100% true. I spent quite a bit of time over in the UK and although I didn't want to I was involved in a few street fights. The boxing knowledge that I had growing up as a youth really helped me. So yes, learn to Box. The bonus is you're going to get into excellent shape. That's worth it alone.

Thanks for watching mate 👊

I just discovered your KZread channel Mr. Jeffries.. you are easy to understand and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

I would say stay calm and quickly assess the situation that you are in. This saved me in Atlantic City when I walked into a ghetto area having been advised it is dangerous. I walked past 20 or so guys who took immediate exception to my presence. I was in the store quickly but they came in after me..I had already noticed that there was only the single entrance and exit so one guy in front of me..i asked whats up in a non-threatening manner..he says you from London? (ENGLAND) yes I am which ...end of the problem. I wont get into ethnicity because I have had issues with all races but my initial idiot reaction was hit and run. However, these were really nice guys we ended up having a rather pleasant chat. So I had some martial art training and I think one positive is the ability to control emotions and deal with it using your mind. And finally I would add that everyone regardless of their background deserves respect. Great videos Tony😁

When I was a kid, we used to stand toe to toe, and swing for the fences. It wasn’t until I was 14 and I fought a kid that knew how to fight. I learned so much from that one fight. I never lost another fair fight.

I swear Tony is the best boxing coach ever. Everything is clear, very practical stuff, straight to the point. That's what I like. Keep it up my man.

A really realistic & benificial video

Thank for this video.

Always enjoy Tony’s videos, you can tell he’s passionate about what he does in every single one including this one. Learned a lot about boxing from being at home with his videos alone. Someone who’s never been to a boxing gym ever. “If your a bully turn this off and don’t subscribe to the channel” that made my day right there😂 great vid bro

Nothing but respect for you Tony. Love your videos! Keep doing this, you've got a great fanbase and your accomplishments speak for themselves. Absolute legend!

Excellent! Perfect advice.

Thanks Tony, this advice was invaluable recently when I was challenged by my grandfather who had just recently overcome cancer, he had just said "Take your plate through to the kitchen" & "BLAM!!" I threw the first punch catching him off-guard!! I'll never forget the look of surprise on his face as his false teeth flew across the room landing on my shocked grandma's lap!! Needless to say it could have ended badly if it wasn't for your stellar advice!! Always expect the unexpected folks and get the first punch in always!! Cheers Tony.
