How to Beat an MMA Fighter

or Martial Arts Black Belt or Larger Opponent or... Anyone who would normally have an advantage over you.
(using the loopholes in their training and by modelling the strategies of those most experienced with street violence and by applying the principles of ASYMMETRIC Combat) Forgive me the blatantly controversy inducing title. This strategy will help you to beat a combative sportsman (boxing, wrestling, muay thai, mma etc) OR a traditional Martial Artist ... as it will the average guy or even the experienced street scrapper. How? It's a methodology solely and purely for delivering violence one way. This is a how to beat someone up strategy. This strategy is rarely taught anywhere, its very dangerous and as such is rarely taught to be defended against. Why? The best combat sports fighters have enviable physical attributes, reactions and athleticism, the best traditional martial artists have great skills and technical ability (some guys are greedy and have the best of both) but very few people are properly and thoroughly trained to deal with the following strategy. This is an excerpt from the Streetfightsecrets Combative Principles Manual and DVD available here. How to beat even a skilled, well trained fighter and/ or martial artist. 1. Deception Psychological set up. This would ideally be done over time. Some call this friending someone up in modern parlance. Pretending to be friendly to lull the target into a false sense of security to sell them something/mug them/ exploit them. Get them to drop their defences. If you can get them to have a few drinks as well so much the better. This isnt going to work if you dont have the time and opportunity to build rapport, so you can be deceptive in other ways. Verbally engage the target with dissuasive communication. Feign fear or submission, back away, raising your hands in a stereotypically pleading gesture, using a submissive tone of voice and body language. Deceive the target into thinking you represent no threat whatsoever, in order to set him up and get him to drop those all important defences. The LAST thing you want to do is give him a fair fight. Allow him to play it his way and he will beat you at his game. You must set the context. 2. Steal it on him pre-emptively. Stealing it is modern vernacular for taking an unfair opportunity over your target, stealing the opportunity, otherwise called a judas or sucker punch. It doesnt have to be a punch it could be a glass in the face, a good hard headbutt, a huge punt in the groin delivered with the intent to not just burst the guys bollock sack but to crack his pelvis. It's all about intent. The actual technique isnt as important, you must understand the notion of striking them when they are not ready and where they are not ready to be struck. The shot you dont see is the one that hurts the most.

Your intent should be to end the fight with one move. If it doesn't, ok, keep going. Use steps one and two, lure him into a range and position that most suits your strategy and smash him with a devastating shot when he is not looking first and 90% of the fight can be over in one move. Stop here. If you don't do 1 and 2 properly, the rest of the strategy will fall apart. The following chains in the strategy are entirely dependent on part 1 and 2. 3. Pick weak targets use reliable, high percentage techniques. Having made a strong opening move using maximum surprise and being as asymmetric in your strategy as possible, you now want to pull him into a nightmarish maelstrom of violence. Targets with maximum effect : eyes, throat, groin, knees, jaw. This can vary depending on the circumstances, the context and the individual. When thinking unarmed the jaw is good because it offers the possibility of an instant knock out as does the throat area (not as well known, not quite as reliable but still a good target). Take what is available. Target the weakest points you can see and hit them as hard and as accurately as you possibly can. Be EXPLOSIVE, violent, primal. These are all ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES covered extensively within the Combative Principles Manual and DVD course here with drills and applications. Click here to find out more. Give him the impression of being savaged by a rabid animal. Don't actually lose control, go berserk and start flapping, that would be counter productive and could give him a chance to weather your initial attack gather himself and fight back. You want to physically and psychologically overwhelm him and keep picking available targets with precision. 4. Maximise shock and awe, heel tactics, (keep it simple aggressive). If you can't knock him out straight away, follow your initial shot with a barrage of assault that will keep him in a state of shock and awe - if he is trained the last thing you want to do is let him come to his senses and gather a response. Keep pressuring him, keep him on the back foot, covering up and bent over and/or turning away to protect his face/throat/jaw/eyes. Use any foul or unsportsmanlike tactics you like ; he probably hasn't trained for them and they are fouls for a reason (they can induce injury even on trained fighters even by untrained slobs). Keep it simple and above all keep it very, very aggressive. If you are not sure focus attacks into his eyes, throat, and face. This will psychologically overwhelm most people, even if they are trained its unlikely they will have trained for this kind of savagery. Keep him stressed, unable to see, unable to breathe and if you keep ragging his head whilst alternating between gouging his eyes, scragging the soft, nerve-dense tissue of his face (nose, eyelids, lips, cheeks, ears) and clamping your fingers as hard as you can into his trachea and vagus nerve whilst yanking his head forcefully down and forward (making him fight for balance, breath, sight) he is unlikely to be able to get his bearings. But you MUST keep going with your strategy to the next concussing strike or takedown that has some fight changing effect or injury in the chain or he will eventually acclimatise to the pressure and start fighting back. If he is more trained, more skilled, faster bigger stronger than you, you are f***ed.

Don't kid yourself. Very little physical techniques will help if a big, strong trained guy (who will by now be very pissed off) goes to town on you. Your intention at this point is to do him maximum damage, you must get into an aggressive emotional state where the will to do harm is all pervasive and you become fixated totally on inflicting injury. 5.
