The type of emasculated, girly-yos that form most modern mobs, when they attack a hard case, are primarily a legal threat.
If you pull a knife they scatter and call the pigs.
If you drop one the rest call the cops and witness against you concerning your unsolicited attack.
If you start lunging for them they will bounce and dart like the sissies they are, go get reinforcements and break out their smartphones to video your aggression.
Let them hit you. If one hits you another may try, which brings multiple targets into your wheelhouse. Practice the following combination while standing, just to ingrain this body mechanic into your survival arsenal. This is something that you would rarely do in the ring and never in the cage, but against feather-fisted fag-foes on the sidewalks of Unmanly America it is a good unarmed option. Train this five punch combo in the mirror, in the closet, in the shower and on the bag.
One: A power pivot jab landing high with a three quarter fist.
Two: A straight right to the body, fully pronated, with a sinking knee drop that will shift weight to the left leg, the knee of which should bend.
One: An up-jab, powered by a pivot as the knee straightens out, driving with your thing up into the chin, landing with a palm-up supinated fist
Two: A classic straight right with three-quarter fist driving off the rear foot with that meaty Caucasian calf!
One: A spear-hand jab, driving your coned fingers—with the thumb and pinkie acting as under-braces—into that oppressed eye-socket!
Repeat as necessary.
Any high line shots that are uncertain might be thrown as controlling slaps to fix the target and crack it with the next punch, as all of these are power shots.
