327 - A Revelation That's Helped Me Win More Than 10 Streetfights
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
Here's a story about the first time I 'won' a streetfight when I realised that the other guy - an older, shabbily dressed, homeless man - was almost certainly mentally ill.
A good streetfight is one that you walk away from or de-escalate, because even if you KO the other guy you could still lose (as I discussed in detail in this article here: https://selfdefensetutorials.com/death-after-the-knockout/)
Be compassionate and be strategic my friends,
Stephan
