If you looked at your local newspaper this morning, I’ll bet you noticed an article about some kind of violence — likely about an incident right in your area. And certainly, with everything going on these days, there was an article in the first few pages of your paper about violence somewhere in the world. There’s violence in the name of the state, violence in the name of religion, violence to further a criminal’s aims, and just plain random violence. Unless you serve in the armed forces or make it a habit to search out jihadists, you’ll most likely encounter those last two kinds of trouble: crooks and punks.

Street fighting is just as prevalent now as it ever was, despite how advanced we seem with all of our fancy electronic toys and supposedly civilized society. While none of the sane among us looks for a street fight, sometimes the fight is stone-cold determined to find you. As mentioned above, there are those out there looking for a mark to prove their own toughness, and there are those looking for something far more sinister, for prey. And they certainly know how to handle themselves in a street fight, albeit at different levels of proficiency; you have to counter this and be prepared for the attack that might lurk around the next corner, prepared to protect yourself and your family.

So who can teach you how to deal with these street fighters? Not a simple question. Street fighting by its very nature doesn’t follow any code of honor; there are no penalties for low blows, for hitting an illegal surface, for clenching the opponent (all infractions from the “manly art of self defense,” boxing). There is no referee who will step in if your opponent pummels you, no corner man to throw in the towel, no possibility of a time-out. Even the fighting arts that many people put faith in, such as karate and tae kwon do, will do little to help you when your attacker fights freestyle. Remember the “gull kick” in Karate Kid and how cool it looked, how effective it was against the other kid? Remember how it got Danny’s ass kicked in the beginning of Karate Kid II? That was the most realistic moment in those movies, and what you can expect, too, if you’re not ready to use real self defense in a street fight.

Real self defense works in any situation, against any style of attacker. The World War II combatives system developed by William Fairbairn, handed down to Charles Nelson, and perfected by Carl Cestari is the most effective battle-proven system the world has ever seen. Based on principles of body mechanics, not magical pressure points or what looks cool on the silver screen, it is simple and brutally efficient. Street fighting victories are the province of the most efficient, not the most advanced or the fanciest. Study these methods, and look at the self-defense and street fighting techniques taught by Damian Ross and Chris Pizzo, two of Cestari’s star pupils. You may think that you’re not the type to get involved in street fighting; think again, though, and be ready.
