Must watch

The first rule of street fighting is to NOT fight. Always try to run away - especially if you're surrounded by a gang of thugs. As martial artists, we should never let our ego control our self-defense.

But what if you cannot escape?

In this video, you'll learn 2 Karate tactics too survive a street fight. These exercises can be practiced at the dojo to improve your footwork and situational awareness. It's all about controlling the distance and managing the combative space, known as "ma-ai" in Japanese.

Good luck, and remember - it's not about "winning", it's about surviving!
