It’s not anyone’s idea of a good time to get in a fight on the street, but sometimes, it’s inevitable. Maybe you run into a drunk guy at the bar, or maybe someone belligerent follows you home. Whatever the case may be, we’ll tell you exactly how to win a street fight with some simple self defense techniques that anyone can do. We’ll also give you strategies for defusing a fight before it happens so you can (hopefully) avoid it in the future.
To defend yourself in a street fight, stand with your feet apart and keep 1 hand up to protect your face. Use your free hand to punch your opponent.
Aim for soft, painful areas, like the eyes, solar plexus, and groin. Once your opponent is immobile, run away.
Defuse a fight by complimenting the other person or apologizing to them.
Stand with your feet apart and knees slightly bent.
Stand with one leg slightly behind you and one leg in front with your knees slightly bent. From here, you can easily wind up for a punch or crouch to defend yourself.
A fighting stance is much safer than just standing with your feet hip-width apart. When you stand normally, you have much less range and mobility than if you take a fighting stance.
Keep 1 hand up to protect your face.
When most people pick a fight with a stranger on the street, they’re going to aim for the face when they punch. Throughout the fight, no matter what you’re doing, keep your non-dominant hand up near your face to protect your head. Bend your arm to create a triangle with your elbow to protect your throat as well.
If your attacker is punching you, you can use both hands to protect your face. However, usually you want to keep 1 hand free so you can punch back.
Apologize if the person feels slighted by you.
Maybe you accidentally bumped into someone at the bar, or maybe you spilled your drink on someone’s shirt. If a person is getting aggressive with you because they think you insulted them, just say you’re sorry and quickly walk away.
“Hey, sorry about that. I really didn’t mean to. Can I grab you some napkins?”
Defuse the situation with a compliment.
A quick way to get out of a fight is to pay someone a compliment. If someone’s getting super angry or mad at you, tell them something you like about them. Make sure you sound sincere so they don’t think you’re being sarcastic or trying to rile them up.
For instance, you might say, “Hey man, we’re cool. By the way, I like that shirt you’ve got on. Where’d you get it?”

- MMA. MMA is the most popular martial art of our time, and MMA has proven to be the best way to pressure-test different skills. MMA isn’t a singular entity since it’s a process within which the given individual tries their best to become the best all-around fighter meaning the art places a significant emphasis on striking, wrestling, grappling, and other areas of fighting that humans have come up with to present.
- Krav Maga. This art is a military combat system designed to prepare people in the most challenging places to neutralize threats faster and more efficiently, hence why this art ranks second on this list.
- Jiu-Jitsu. This art is arguably the martial art with the steepest rise to fame since the primary founders passed away a few decades ago. Jiu-Jitsu is a highly effective martial art for self-defense since it doesn’t rely on chance, luck, and physical power but depends more on calculated technique and skill.
