Conceal Carry. Of course this you should always do, but for those who do or don't, here are a few simple tips for hand to hand if the unfortunate situation presents itself:
- Travel in groups of two or more. People are being hit at random from behind and from the front. With two or more, this can decrease the likelihood of that happening.
- When driving slow, roll up your windows so people can't throw shit inside.
- If physical confrontation erupts, flip the person. Here's how: Grab the back of their pants or belt preferably with your dominate hand, pull them backwards with your less dominate hand on the back of their shirt, and with a slight upward motion of your belt/pants holding hand—give a little lift and drop them on their back. The wind will rush out of them like crap through a goose. I see too many people attempt to take a person on face to face. Think bodyslam or powerbomb from WWE.
- If facing them, which I don't recommend, but this move works: grab their shirt at the shoulders and lift their shirt up and over their head, then pull it down so it's covering their face. The color has now been lifted over their head. This is done quickly, in fact the person will even attempt to fix their shirt when you do it, thereby exposing themselves even more. Then, a hard and swift uppercut to the chin when their face is covered with their own shirt. Think Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter. This works and they never see it coming. Not only have I done it to my brother, of which he is much bigger than I am, but he was shocked that I knew such a move. He shook my hand afterwards. Don't expect a handshake from someone you do this to though.
- Go for the groin and the knees. Kick the knees at the side of the leg. In fact you can combine tip 4 and 5. Double Point Combo! Knees/groin first, then shirt pull and uppercut second.
Holding your grocery bags by your side while 4 or 5 thugs beat you half to death, only to run home to mom? Not a good idea.
I don't recommend violence. I recommend defending yourself and your loved ones.

Lady anon here. II always tell myself "whack 'em in the knees, whack 'em in the nuts, then whack 'em in the windpipe". I tell my daughter to do the same should she need to.

Or, since their pants are around their thighs, simply pull them down with a powerful downward motion. Step back quickly as they attempt to step toward you. They will fall allowing the least athletic among us to deliver an amazing head kick.

Toes, knees, groin, solar plexus, throat, nose, eyes, ears.

From “Miss Congeniality”, just remember to SING... solar plexus, instep, nose, groin.

Not how I learned, but good memory retrieval there! Toes, sometimes, easier to access, than instep. Steel toed boots make them both near impossible. Go for the groin! Male or female, it hurts!

If you have too throw punches, FOLLOW THROUGH.
Aim for a spot on the backside of them, and drive your hand to it. Just making contact isn't enough.
And, FFS, keep your hands up and in front. Too many videos out there of idiots throwing wild Haymakers; if your hands are up and forward, you can block/deflect that shit on one side, while coming straight in for a slobberknocker.

Yep. Most of the best street fighters I know keep their hands up and throw straight punches. They don't stop either. It's an insane level of violence in a short amount of time.

Bingo. Overwhelm, keep going until they can't.

... they get punched in the face.
Somehow, it meant a little more coming from Mike Tyson.

A black belt becomes a brown belt when punched. Brown, to purple, purple to blue, and so on.

This is a REALLY good one. If you practice it on a friend, do NOT use full strength:
But of course, this is not a "knock-out punch," so you need to either be ready to fight or run as soon as they are on the ground.
In reality, you could break their arm with this move if you really wanted to hurt them.
This works EVERY TIME.

If the person grabbing you knows BJJ, don't do this. They'll just collar choke the fuck out of you.
