What goes through your mind when you get HIT and know ur in trouble?
Or does nothing go through your mind?
Or does nothing go through your mind?
The first shot that hits you kicks in an adrenaline rush...The first shot that actually hurts you, puts you on the defensive and has you looking for the counter combos quickly before they are able to land anymore!
In my experience strength cannot match speed, skill and accuracy...My best fights were against bigger, stronger guys...You go into those fights with a different mind set - You're expected to lose by anyone watching and they're expecting to put you on your ass quick...People are naturally intimidated by size and muscles...From what I have been through, those are the easiest fights because most every big guy out there does no speed/endurance training and throwing around a 20"+ arm and missing is going to tire you out very quickly...Too much weight, muscle or not to be carrying into a fight! As long as they don't get their hands on you and it doesn't go to a ground fight you should easily be able to tire them out while hitting them with 6-1 swings!
I haven't been in a fight in years...but my attitude and mouth hasn't changed ever, so to this day I still make sure to do speed training to make sure if something were to go down my hands would still be as fast as they were 10 years ago!
I'm a pretty big guy and this is exactly why I don't stand and box for too long. My goal is to get a hold of the other person and get them on the ground and pound them into oblivion. Standing up, speed and endurance rules. But if i have a significant weight advantage on my opponent and I can get them in the ground, 99 percent of the time it's all over.The first shot that hits you kicks in an adrenaline rush...The first shot that actually hurts you, puts you on the defensive and has you looking for the counter combos quickly before they are able to land anymore!

Getting punched isn't a big deal, but I think he's referring to when you get rocked. What do you do? Close the distance so that his shots have less power. Try to wrap him up and hang on till you recover.
You first want to get on your bicycle and move move move.
While doing so, keep pumping your jab (recuperate with he jab).
If your opponent keeps closing the distance, then go to the clinch. If you can get both arms under hooked, you can body lock and recover, or get the takedown.

Exactly
o certified instructors, but also train Krav.Actually (and I am primarily a grappler) size is more important in regards to stand up. A month ago, I sparred with a 170 pounder who made the finals in the Golden Gloves. He hits hard for his size, but simply does not hit hard enough to hurt or put me down. I am 232 lbs
He is a BJJ black belt, and if we are wearing the Gi he is much more likely to tap me out than knock me out.
HH, what is your wrestling background? For me it was 4 years of high school wrestling and 2 years at a very wrestling oriented grappling school. I have also wrestled with Mid West college wrestlers. If they want you down, they will take you down. If they want the fight on the feet, it will stay on the feet.
I ask, because a lot of people do not understand the takedown game and its role in self Defense.
Here are 2 more examples: A tall BJJ guy I know teaches at a high crime high school. He is a BJJ blue belt, but trains nothing else (stand up or takedowns...BJJ take downs are terrible).
I asked what he would do if he needed to deal with a student who was getting violent? He said he would figure out a way to get him to he ground.
Wrong! You fight the way you train.
I am currently into FMA's (Philippino martial arts....stick, knife, filthy fighting...eye gouges, head buts biting). I train within a JKD format with one of the few Inosanto
