Strategy for street fights? Swarmers?

Run. Try to avoid a fight at all costs.
Don't ever let someone get in your face, always keep them at range.
 
I'm officially 202-0 in streetfights. PM if u want some legit advice on how to hold your own in the streets.
 
For most fights where the guys can't fight for shit, the more aggressive fighter usually wins.

The question in the OP is too broad (the answer is it depends on who is attacking you and how the are going about it). For 99% of assholes like in the video, simply knowing how to fight would be enough. Meaning, basic boxing and the ability to protect yourself if you're on the ground and scramble back to your feet. Staying calm enough to fight with some control and good defense is the entire battle against douche bags like this. That and don't get sucker punched.
 
Street fights are never worth it. Though its hard cause sometimes our emotions and pride can really get caught in, espeically if its something serious like someone disrespecting someone you love or trying to make you appear weak. But yeah its never worth it. Ive seen too many street fights end where people are recording and laughing while a guy continues to kick an unconscious guy until one person goes

"AYO MAN HE SLEEP, HE SLEEP" and the dude goes into a seizure.

If you were to get into one, tbh the best way to fight aggresion is with aggression. Street fights arent fights that you should pace, given the adrenaline, wild hooks or not you can always get caught. I've seen boxers who go in confident, throwing good straights but still getting caught and swarmed. Grappling goes a long way in street fights.
 
Cover, duck and circle out. Stay close and you'll get a good angle hopefully to your opponents side, maybe even behind them if you really get deep. Most of these swarmers are head hunting with wild looping hooks, so a change of elevation with a circle while staying close (inside the arc of the attackers punches) will keep you out of harms way and give you a superior angle to attack from.
 
You ideally want to get away from the situation as soon as possible.

In my opinion (weapons not involved) a double leg and run. Hitting someone outside, especially with a punch is highly dangerous, if the person goes out and down, hitting their head is a real issue.

Wrestle always. .
