[Knockout Ratio Of 84%]

You can use a metal pen similarly:

I wonder how well Nick Dorosso can fight when you take away his ability to go "pre-emptive".

Anyone able to speak to the effectiveness of leg kicks in a street fights? One of my coachs said a single kick to a guys thigh could drop him and give you time to get out of the situation however many other people say to never throw kicks in a street fight.

What's your option on it? Would you throw any type of kicks in a street fight?
Thanks!

alot of dudes getting dropped with head kicks. kicking to the head in the a street fight is unexpected by most ppl, specifically if they dont train a martial art. if it lands, it ends the fight. leg kicks dont really stop people in their tracks. they build up over time and wear people down.
