And just froze.

I don't get it, I do all this training, and then it's all for nothing when someone punches me and I just freeze in shock.

Ugggghhh

So I'm guessing you were in a fight?

Anyways, there's nothing you can do about how your body responds to a punch. Some of the strongest and biggest MMA fighters have weak chins and are unable to take punches well. The human jaw isn't designed to take a punch; that being said, training your body will help you, but only to a certain degree.

And this training isn't all for nothing like you say it is. This training is meant for self-improvement. Improving your health, self-esteem, confidence, athletic ability, and positive outlook on life. You shouldn't be training solely for the purpose of being a good street fighter, because there's nothing good about that.

Whenever a stressful situation arises around me, I can usually sense it, so I just walk away. 99% of the time, fighting isn't the answer, and will only make the situation worse. Also, I don't feel like going to jail over getting in a fight with some jerk, it's just not worth it.

Hope that helps if you were looking for some kind of answer.

lol u should have block that slide back step in and finish him with a hook

..it's just lack of courage, you'll build that up if you work on it

how you desribe the guy? is he stronger bigger faster than you?
pick a stone and fkn kill him lol

If you want to be able to defense yourself, start training MMA lol

lol.. next time it wont be a problem. u were just shocked he actualy hit u. at least ure brain was lol. i agree tho. u should have hit him back. even if it was with a recoil lol.

lol where the f**k do u people live.. in this country u cant actualy go to jail for fighting. maybe overnight. but that aint s**t.

and violence does solve problems.. it prevents u from going to a hospital sumtime, which is a big problem.
so dont make such remarks if u always seem to be able to talk out of it. its not possible to talk ure way out if u got 3 guys determined to take ure money and blabla. f**k that im hitting. and i dont care who it is. if someone hits me im hitting back. thats how it is and its not likely to change no matter how old or wise i am. f**k it. when u gotta u gotta.

...everybody is talking and acting tough and talking bull***t, he just has a problem of getting shocked mentally, that's it..

pa, da, znam. ali, neki ljudi su takve kurve da kad pricaju moraju nesto i da urade. i tad imas problem. pa nema ni to veze. ako nesto nemozes onda nemozes. njemu je bio problem to da ga je neko prvi put potrefio u kevu i mu nije bilo bas dobro i onda nije mogo da odreagira. prvi put je jebeno. a onda ide dobro. onda kad nesto kazes mozes nesto i da uradis. ako si takav covjek. svi moraju da pricajo nesto. to ti je normalno. jebiga xD

anyways yea.. knives are easy. people with knives are at a disadvantage, as they use the knife to intimidate. if u dont get intimidated ure fine. if he goes for a stab u just move. eventualy u can still kick his a$$ normaly. and not everything is worse if someone has a weapon, then again ive been in plenty of fights and i know what to do basicaly.. for someone that just wants peace that can be a problem.

i also think u just got a bit shocked dude. next time he wont be so fortunate trust me

You're young don't worry about it! It sounds like the punch didn't hurt you or knock you down. So at least if he starts s**t again you know he hits like a b*tch!lol

lol thats is normal for ppl who never got rly punched. still remember when we had a fight in a pub. a blackbelt karate friend of mine who had years of training in karate got punched like rly rly hard a froze. thing is in karate u dnt get hit THAT much. (my personal opinion, been there, done that, pls no comments about karate etc o.O)

so if u dont wanna freeze, train to deal with it! have some1 trowing a few punches at u and try not to blink, block them etc. at a different pace, first slow then quick. get used to it.

the thing that made u freeze is the adrenaline in u. nothing else. u just froze and almost s**t ur pants and hat trembeling legs cuz of adrenaline.

again, train for it and it will not happen again.

go to a local boxing class for a while or ask some boxers if they can help u to train. or muay thai or whatever.
