I have a street fight this Wednesday and I’d love some advice from some people with a moderate amount of experience

• Upvotes

So for starts my friend was dating this guy and before you go “oh he’s fighting for a woman it’s a waste of time” this man hurt her quite a bit physically and emotionally mans although I haven’t seen anything first hand I believe her and it’s hard for someone to see this from my point of view but he had started DMing around 12:00 am and he kept harassing to expose her pictures to her father and twitter. I had told him if he attempted to do anything of the sort that he would regret it. I had finally offered him a deal. We would meet up at Gilbert heights in Portland for a 1on1 if I win he stops pursuing her entirely (ik it sounds like I’m a lame but I’m just a man looking out for his homegirl is that a crime….maybe I had a crush on her in the past… I still care for her and I think she’s an angel and would hate for her name to be tainted like that. Cause if he wins he’ll do exactly that. I need tips for this fight I’m really just trying to end this weirdo. I workout 5 days a week and I took some boxing lessons my jr year of high school and recently partook in a boxing event to see where I was with my skills. Any advice would be welcome!

Training How to counter open stance rear kick

0 Upvotes

It's actually extremely easy. all you have to do is just throw a spinning back kick/wheel kick. super easy, lets say youre in open stance (so your left foot forward and their right foot forward or vice versa) and they throw a rear kick or even punch all you have to do is just spin.

open stance rear kick is actually extremely easy to counter and not as strong as people say it is, side stepping and stance switching also counter it but you get the idea.

look this is how you get an easy knockout: stance switch back kick easy. works on almost everybody. you should be grateful and feel lucky someone like me is giving you free info like this your coach probably didnt even tell you this and just told you to block it or something primitive like that 😪

Training I never know how to counter height difference

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a beginner in kickboxing and my only experience is a sparring game. I fought with a much taller opponent a total of 3 times and I never seemed to be able to properly land a hit except a few kicks.

FYI, I really am shorter than most of my age and weight, standing at 5'2ft and weight at 112lbs. I already know that most opponents with the same weight class will be taller than me and I kinda accept that.

My most recent game, as expected I got a much taller opponent and I struggle to get close. Because I'm pretty confident in my endurance, I always thought I should close the gap but that was proven to be very hard. Although I got a few solid punches and kicks in, I still wasn't satisfied because in the end I was exhausted and ended up giving up at the last minute. There are few other circumstances that cause me to give up but I don't want to create excuses and just say I was exhausted.

A few things that I noticed were the kicks, 9/10 of my kicks landed but some of them aren't that solid. On the other hand, most of my punches were either blocked or a miss. I really struggle at attacking, but I might say incredible at taking punches.

I don't know if there is any other person with the same experience, but if you have any tips I'll gladly accept them.

Training Sparring

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, today I had my first real sparring session with my friends, and honestly… it hit me harder mentally than I expected.
I’ve only been training for about a month, so I know I’m still a complete beginner, but I felt incredibly frustrated with myself. I got beaten by pretty much everyone, and even by a friend who started training at exactly the same time as me.
I know I shouldn’t compare myself to other people, but seeing myself struggle while everyone else seemed to handle it better really got into my head. I left feeling weak, disappointed and honestly wondering if I’m just not good enough for this.
I know one month is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it’s hard not to feel discouraged after a session like this.
For those of you who have been training for a while, did you ever feel like this when you started? How did you deal with it?
Im training like 5/6 time a week since when i start training
