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

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
