Has anyone ever caused you problems at school? Have you ever nearly come to blows? Have you ever fought in school? If you want to emerge victorious from a fight, whether at school or elsewhere, you have to show bravery.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: start the fight
Step 1. Let your opponent start the fight
People will blame you for being the first to attack. However, there is nothing wrong with defending yourself, especially in case your opponent threatens your life. Watch out for any signs of aggression or possible attack.
Step 2. Draw attention to yourself
If you want to avoid the fight, shout “Help! As loud as you can. You can also ask for help from any school staff closest to you. Escaping combat is also an option, but be aware that many people might view this behavior as cowardice. Only run away if it's to save your life.
Step 3. Know when it's best to quit
If your opponent refuses to give you the first punch, give up. Starting a fight will only cause problems and put your life in danger. Beating yourself up in school can cost you punishment, suspension, transfer to another institution, or permanent expulsion. Doing so could mar your academic record and jeopardize your potential chances of getting accepted into college or finding a job.
Part 2 of 3: Fighting
Step 1. Adopt a perfectly balanced posture
Spread your feet apart and keep your wrists above the eyes and in front of the face. If the person is punching you directly with the back arm, move your hands towards your ears and protect your face with your elbows.
Step 2. Kneel or elbow to hurt him
A kick to the front or back of your opponent's knee or calf could knock them down, giving you time to escape. Always aim for the abdominal area or the face.
Step 3. Defeat your opponent if possible
If he falls, take the opportunity to keep him in that position until he surrenders or becomes too weak to continue fighting. Hold it down as long as possible. If necessary, hit it to keep it down.
Step 4. Block his shots
Although this method may seem ineffective, it will tire your opponent. You could either escape or even defend yourself. Don't hesitate to block his punches frequently or use this method throughout the fight.
Step 5. Never shout or hurl insults during the fight
Opening your mouth will give your opponent the chance to give you a big blow to the jaw. This could result in a knockout or even a broken jaw. Ignore your opponent's taunts, and if he keeps talking, take the opportunity to punch him in the jaw.
Step 6. Never pull her hair out
Pulling out your opponent's hair is a girl's specialty, unless the other person does it first. However, feel free to use this method if it gives you an advantage.
Step 7. Kick
While this tactic is underrated, it is great for winning a fight. Don't hesitate to use your feet if the opportunity arises. However, be careful, as your enemy might try to grab your leg or your foot.
Step 8. Stay calm if it is more than one person
Understand that your goal is to escape and not necessarily to win the fight. Against more than one person, the chances of you getting away with it without someone's help are slim. Avoid showing your anger. During any fight, use your rage as your energy to defeat your enemies.
- Don't hesitate to ask for help if the situation calls for it. Sure, your reputation might take a hit, but damaging your social status is even better than losing your life.
- Beware of the temptation of pride. You can convince yourself that you can defeat many enemies, but be realistic.
Step 9. Take the opportunity if you are turned sideways
Put your fist to his head. You can also push his head down and find enough strength and balance to bring him down to the ground.
Step 10. Force him to surrender
Once he's down, hold him in that position until he surrenders. If you let him get up without giving up, he might hit you.
Step 11. Defend yourself if you are on the ground
Block his shots as best you can. If your punches are weak enough to give you control, try hitting him too.
Part 3 of 3: control the situation in certain cases
Step 1. Beware of opponents taller than you
In such a case, use your opponent's size against him. Hit his tender points or his crotch. Aim for the area between the navel and the groin with the tips of your shoes. There is an area covered with pressure points here that will help you defeat your opponent.
Step 2. Beware if he threatens your life or tries to strangle you
Hit the person with all your might. Nudge, kick or kick pressure points or sensitive areas. Continue with this tactic until your opponent is weak enough for you to escape. Remember, you have the right to stand up for yourself if someone threatens your life. Go see the authorities as soon as possible.
Step 3. Flee if you have multiple opponents
Run as fast as you can towards a crowd or towards the main school office. While you may be tempted to defeat multiple opponents for glory, understand that it's best to be realistic. A person who fights against many enemies cannot win such a fight without being badly injured or without killing himself.
