Hand-to-Hand Combat Concepts

A key strategy to adapt from MMA to the streets is to strike quickly and overwhelm your opponent(s) with brutal hits. Clinch if you must, but avoid the ground as much as you can. Strike while in the clinch, and throw or take your opponent down.

When engaging an opponent with strikes in the various ranges (with or without a weapon), you should employ the following critical tactics:

• Neutralize your opponent’s offense quickly.

• Emphasize limb destruction.
