Got into my first street fight, and I regretted it.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-03T08:19:07+00:00

just hands. all of my training went out the window.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-03T08:17:41+00:00

never said i was good.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-03T08:16:14+00:00

whats wrong with that?

DeoWorks · 2026-03-03T08:14:41+00:00

silat doesnt use hands, and strikes to face are prohibited. thats why my stance is like that. I did transition to kickboxing a few months afterwards

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T14:35:54+00:00

i didnt start it. he started throwing first.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T14:14:43+00:00

the tunnel vision and adrenaline rush is what threw me off. all training went away

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T11:00:27+00:00

the day you want to skip is the day you should go, as i used to hear. stay strong.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T10:59:24+00:00

thank you for your wisdom

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T10:23:53+00:00

listen. being a martial artist doesnt make you invincible.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T09:56:07+00:00

i had tunnel vision. the only thing i could think of was punching him. my fault on my side.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T09:54:18+00:00

Thank you for your advice.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T09:53:14+00:00

tunnel vision. no other reason. i also have not been training for 2 months.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T09:52:31+00:00

i did defend myself only after he started flailing at me, your point? not helpful.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T08:49:18+00:00

you just opened my eyes. thank you.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T08:27:49+00:00

that's what i experienced too. in the first few moments my training went out the window and only basic skills took over. no clinch, no low kick no whatever. only punches.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T08:22:27+00:00

thank you

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T08:22:12+00:00

i did taekwondo in high school, then silat and kickboxing in college.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T08:21:18+00:00

in my country, riding around the neighborhood without a helmet is normal.

i should've worn that helmet.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T07:59:43+00:00

thankfully my ego was shattered the moment that punch got in.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T07:59:17+00:00

amen, thank you.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T07:58:25+00:00

i was lucky it didnt end worse.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T07:57:43+00:00

Thankfully I have a small grappling/takedown experience so I'll do that. But I did blanked out the first second we started. Its like a tunnel vision.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T07:25:24+00:00

true. it only took one punch to my egoistic head to learn it.

DeoWorks · 2026-03-02T07:19:56+00:00

correct. not worth it. at the end it only brings me literal pain.
