That's like saying, "In war, if you shoot them first, you'll win."
Obviously if you get a punch off first you have a better chance of gaining the upper hand. What kind of nonsense talk is that?
I've been doing martial arts since I was six, I know about combat. Have I been in loads of fights? No, because I'm not a numbskull. It doesn't mean you aren't talking garbage.
Do you realise how laughably ridiculous you sound?
I'm actually, physically laughing. No offense meant, but you are thinking like Darksin. "I'll do this, then this." As if he's going to let you. Stop fighting, damn. It's over a girl? Are you 12?
He will probably swing his arms around to your position.
Dodge one, and give him a counter, don't just randomly try hitting him, look for openings.
Edit: Wait, its about a girl?
This thread is getting more and more ridiculous at times you wouldn't imagine it would get.
Also, some of the advice here is pretty ridiculous too ;D.
What are you ranting on about? You said that the guy will probably swing his arm with no power or speed behind it, and I asked you here that "Theres no power or speed in a swing?" And this is the crap you give me? I never said anything is better, I simply asked you to justify how you got that theres "no power and speed" in a swing. When you punch you don't want to punch completely straight, theres always a type of arch in it. So its a swing. A hay maker is a swing. I've had my share of wrestling and MMA. What have you done?

Reputation: 366I doubt you will actually think in a fight "ok now, I must punch in this position, the palm allignment must be like this and...yada yada yada yada". You'll just punch and that's it. Unless you are training in some fighting sport where the punching technique is pretty much worked into you and you execute it right without thinking.
I love these threads.

Reputation: 22nnow is a good time to practise your reach.. you got the height advantege... so you got more reach... know your distance..
chances are he doesn't know his either...and remember to PUNCH straight!!! even if he flails.. if you straight punch.. yours will land first! don't be afraid to use your jabs... enough of the opposite hand.. jabs are quicker and more effective... even if he is a football player and tries to tackle you.. he wont be an idiot and try to run into your fist... maybe...
