Applause to Sweepem. The finest skills are those that keep you out of a fight to begin with. Amen.

1 on 1 steetfights.

These would be the easiest encounters to just walk away from.

Anything more than that??....run away!

Unless you are some sort of street fighter lurking for some sort of glory outside the mat, you most likely do not want to take it to the ground during a street fight. Reason being, you simply want your antagonizer neutralized as simply and efficently as possible. For me the ground would represent a last resort measure to gain control and hold. We train for our own benefits and competive urges not to play king of the streets, and in spite of all the technical training, nothing is better than a good ole haymaker to the dome to manage any sort of aggressiveness.

Remember in a street fight losers go to the hospital, but winners go to jail.
