This Fight Science video discusses a technique that can make you harder to hit in a street fight--or, perhaps more correctly, will help you immensely in landing effective blows while disturbing your attacker's ability to land effective blows. Essentially, it comes down to this: when striking with one hand, keep the other hand and arm up beside you neck and head to protect them, alternating as needed. This not only protects those parts, but keeps you from trying to follow a blocked blow (which opens you up to follow up strike from your attacker).

Great one on one, not so helpful in a mob attack scenario.
ReplyDeleteBest way to be harder to hit is avoidance.
Yes. Or as the advice goes, don't do stupid things, with stupid people, in stupid places. And be home in your own bed by 10 pm. Unfortunately, "stupid places" seems to increasingly mean any place of public entertainment.
