How to Fight Someone - How to block

People who don't know how to fight someone should know that there is something else then attack someone, if you don't know how to fight and what blocking is then read on.

If you fight then you will be attacked and i thought why not tell everyone what i think about blocking punches and kicks and the various ways to do it.

So imagine someone is trying to punch you with his rear hand,
what you want to do is either step back a little and push his hand in the direction his punch goes while you make a small sitestep OR you want to step a bit forward and bring your elbow up to guard your face and ur lower arm and hand will guard the back of your head.

While doing the second one, you can headbutt the opponent while you step into him, but make sure you hit him whith the upper left or right side of your head, because the front has very thin skin that can easily bust open.

Sidestepping is a good thing to use in a fight especially if you don't know how to fight someone, sidestepping can be beneficial to both evading and blocking and preparing an attack.

I like to direct the punches and jabs thrown at me with my leading hand while i do a small sidestep in a circulair move.

If you never had a fight before and don't know how to fight, then you should practice a bit even if you have no partner.

To do so just practice with an imaginary opponent.

It is important to have a good timing, you have to be able to perceive the movement of the arm that is trying to hit you without thinking about how to block it, you just have to let your body react to the movement.

To achive that you will have to practice to block or evade punches.

Another easy method you can use is to just throw your arm against the opponents arm to redirect his fist away from your face or body.

I hope i didn't write to complicated.

Enjoy my how to fight someone series.

More coming soon.
