Fighting in real-life is much different than in a dojo. Your life may actually be in danger. Here, I will show you some effective methods that you can implement into your existing martial arts knowledge, to become more prepare in the event of an actual attack.

Learn Deadly Martial Arts #1: Trapping. A very efficient way to keep your assailant from striking you, trapping employs techniques that limit his ability to use his extremities against you. You can do this by locking is arms to his chest with one of your arms, or shifting his wrists to one hand, then hitting him to subdue him with your free hand.

Learn Deadly Martial Arts #2: Forget the high kicks. Although flashy and "cool" to see in movies, high kicks (such as in Taekwondo) are not very efficient in a real fight. A good rule to remember in actual street combat: Never put yourself in a compromising position where your attacker can throw off your balance and thereby gain the upper hand over you. Limit your kicks to regions such as the knees, shins, and groin, and decrease your own vulnerability by avoiding attempts to kick someone in the face.

Learn Deadly Martial Arts #3: Attack sensitive areas. Administering intense pain to your adversary may be the only way to avoid it yourself. If someone means to cause you or a loved-one harm, then he deserves what he gets! You MUST be prepared to fight by ANY and ALL means necessary, including eye gouges, throat strikes, groin kicks, and even biting. Do NOT hesitate! Keep in mind that there are NO RULES in street fighting! Your attacker WON'T be playing nicely!

Learn Deadly Martial Arts #4: Keep it simple. Use basic self-defense methods that you've trained over and over with. Now's not the time to try anything fancy. Be as efficient as you can at blocking his attacks, or try to keep your distance to avoid them altogether as much as possible. Use quick, decisive strikes when you are in close, and avoid reaching.

Utilize your martial arts background. This is what you're self-defense training has been for, so don't hold back ... USE IT! Your skills in real life will be greatly improved if you train in many various fighting techniques on a regular basis.

Every bit as important is your physical conditioning. Cardio and weight training 3 or 4 times per week should be a part of any serious martial artist's life. To get out of a seriously dangerous street attack alive, having your body maintained in peak performance is just one more method that is vital.

Keeping all these tips in mind, never let your guard down wherever you are. Stay sharp, and avoid becoming a statistic!
