1. The 1000 yard sprint! ;p lol
2. I always found, I could run faster scared, than anyone could mad.
3. Handguns.
4. You need to know Muy Thai kickboxing when the fight is on your feet. It helps to know wrestling takedowns if you need to take the fight to the ground. And on the ground you need to know some type of grappling or jiu jitsu or you're toast!
5. Have the biggest gun.
6. Krav maga, it practices weapons disarming, and aims to figh as quickly and painfully as possibly, besides that theres many other options, this is just a popular one.
7. Chuck Norris
8. There is no style in street fights. It's all in the movies. It's the presence of mind. Even you might have to pick up a brick bat and throw at your enemy.
9. This is really something to discuss with your sensei. If you need an answer from here, you're probably not ready for physical confrontation. Check out the methods of conflict resolution in the dojo. Mine has 12 steps, only the *last* of which is to prepare for physical combat. The best victory is the one you win without striking a blow. If you have no way out of the situation, use whatever you can execute without thinking. Remember the story of the fox and the cat discussing how to fight the tiger. When the tiger comes into the clearing, the cat runs up a tree, the only way he knows to fight the tiger. The fox, however, knows a thousand ways. He stands his ground, runs through the options in his mind, and gets eaten while he's making up his mind. Still, the best way is to not be there when the punch lands. Avoid the situation, agree with the bully, use self-deprecating humor, or scream and run. Getting hit is a last resort.
10. I've found that helps to have friends. Real life fights always involve multiple people. It’s good to have friends who know what they’re doing. I’ve seen friends of people run away and one guy get’s beaten up badly. If you are ever really one-on-one, jiujitsu or hapkido are good ones. Hard core Korean and Japanese grappling/submission moves are very cheap and work fast to end fights. Street fights always end up on the ground and there’s a lot of grabbing. There’s hardly ever any stand up boxing and muay thai kicking like in the movies. You should learn pressure points and joint locks. Here are some examples. If you can knee someone in the balls, go for it. Go for the eyes, throat, solar plexus. Fingers are really good ones. I’ve bent someone’s finger who was poking me in the chest and the fight ended right there. No one is willing to lose a finger or wrist over a stupid fight. A lot of fights start as shoving matches, that’s a good time to grab a loose pinky finger or wrist.

12. Krav Maga is a self-defense and military hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel, which assumes no quarter, and emphasizes maximum threat neutralization in a "real life" context. Basic principles In Krav Maga, there are no hard-and-fast rules, and no distinction in training for men and women. It is not a sport, and there are no specific uniforms, attire or competitions. All the techniques focus on maximum efficiency in real-life conditions. Krav Maga generally assumes a no quarter situation; the attacks and defenses are intended for potentially lethal threat situations, and aim to neutralize these via maximum pain or damage to opponents, as rapidly and safely as possible. Crippling attacks to vulnerable body parts, including groin and eye strikes, headbutts, and other efficient and potentially brutal attacks, improvized use of any objects available, and maximizing personal safety in a fight, are emphasized. The guiding principles for those performing Krav Maga techniques are: * Neutralize the threat * Avoid injury * Go from defending to attacking as quickly as possible * Use the body's natural reflexes * Strike at any vulnerable point * Use any tool or object nearby The basic premises of Krav Maga are: * You're not going to care how much damage you're going to cause. * Cause as much damage as possible and run. * Do not try and prolong a fight. Do what needs to be done and escape. Techniques Although Krav Maga shares many techniques with other martial arts, such as boxing, savate and muay thai (for the punches, kicks, elbows, and knees) or jiujutsu, judo and wrestling (for the grappling and disarming techniques), the training is often quite different. It stresses fighting under worst-case conditions or from disadvantaged positions (for example, against several opponents, when protecting someone else, with one arm unusable, when dizzy, or against armed opponents). Unlike Karate there are no predefined sequences of moves or choreographed styles; instead Krav Maga emphasizes rapid learning and the retzev ("continuous combat motion"), with the sole imperative being effectiveness,[2] for either attack or defensive situations. Krav maga instructors emphasize two paradoxical training rules: (1) there are no rules in a fight and (2) one must not injure oneself or one's partner when training.[3] Training is an intense mixed aerobic and anaerobic workout, relying heavily on protective pads in order to experience both delivery and defense of strikes at full force. This is important because it allows the student to practice the technique at full strength, and the student holding the pad learns a little of the impact they'd feel when they get hit. It can be almost as taxing to hold a pad as to practice against one. Some schools incorporate "Strike and Fight," which consists of full-contact sparring intended to familiarize the student with the stresses of a violent situation. Training may employ a speaker system blasting loud music, stroboscope and/or fog machine, meant to train the student to ignore peripheral distractions and focus on causing as much damage as possible. Training might also contain ways to deal with situations which could end in fights. Physical and verbal methods to avoid violence whenever possible are taught. A typical Krav Maga session in a civilian school is about an hour long and mixes conditioning with self-defense teaching. As levels increase, the instructors focus a little more on complicated and less common types of attacks, such as knife attacks, hostage situations and defense under extreme duress. First, the instructor will run a very intense drill to get the class's heart rates up. Then, after stretching, the instructor will teach two or three self-defense techniques. In the beginning the techniques will either be combatives (punches, hammer-fists, elbows, knees and roundhouse kicks, for example) or grappling (breaking out of chokes or wrist-grabs, getting out from under an opponent while on one's back). After that, the class usually moves to a drill that combines the techniques just taught with an aerobic technique. Finally, there is the final drill intended to burn out the students. Depending on the class - and on the instructor's mood - this drill may be at the very beginning or at the end of the class. Quotations "The use of dirty tactics are highly encouraged in Krav Maga. In a real fight, those who fight "fair" do not get to stand afterwards. Fighting fair and defending yourself are two different things. Fighting for honor and fighting for survival are two different things. When having to defend yourself, honor does not play a role. [...] In short, it teaches you how to survive in the worst situations of combat."
13. It dosent take style to knock someone the f^&* out! U could know all u want and one punch send's you to the ground just throw down and catch a chin with ur fist!
14. The one that works best for you, regardless as to what that is. It is differant for everyone.
15. Anything that is based on close range stuff. Silat, jkd, small circle jujitsu, etc....depends more on the instructor and individual. There are so many factors. Im a silat fanatic. Go youtube "silat" and mark by rating and check out some of the clips.
16. Kajukenbo, look it up on the internet.
17. The most effective style in my opinion is,...a Hodge-podge of pieces of Different Styles& you do EVERYTHING Your Way! "Do Whatever Works" The Goal is: To Win Focus upon Achieving the Goal,not so much upon the Methods!
18. Aikido is very good for street fighting! Krav Maga is also good for street fighting. Both teach weapons defense!
19. Sprint Kwando, Cellphone Kwando, Gun FU.
