What should you not do in a fight?

Don't be slow: in a real fight, you have seconds to finish the fight. The odds of you surviving become worse every second that ticks after nine seconds. Don't forget that sport and self-defense are not the same, so don't try to use any flashy tricks — they are only good for show or movies, not for the street. Don't allow that person to get too close to you if you can control the distance. Don't be passive, don't allow yourself to be a target by just standing, and don't try to just block every punch. I; instead, be mobile, control distance and strike.
