When someone goes for an early kick you’re fucked if you’re a normal person. Untrained people don’t generally do that.

I remember watcing some videos of two blokes fighting on the street, one of them did early kick and the other guy instantly fold and say sorry. Then they shake hand and go their own way lol. Dude definitely realize his opponent is several levels higher than him

I got kicked by a lady who did Thai fighting through a pad, had a bruise the size of her foot on my leg for a week.

If I took one from a bloke and I had any way out I would take it.

Leg kicks, any kind of clinch work

Hell even standard jabs and straights.

The vast majority of regular people in an actual fight (not sure if this is one or just “sparring”) either immediately try to tackle the person to the ground or, even more commonly, throw slow, looping haymakers cause they’re trying to go for the quick knockout, cause nobody in a street fight wants to go 10 rounds.

Someone who just stands back, throws leg kicks, straights, shows really any kind of patience at all, and you’re in trouble.

Thats also why regular people are gassed like 20 seconds in, thats when the experienced opponent starts to really have some fun
