🥊✈️ END the Fight Before It Starts

In partnership with

Hey Warrior,

There’s something about being pushed.

I find it triggering in the worst way.

It’s not the physical jolt…

…it’s the disrespect.

That forward surge can’t really hurt you.

It’s meant to dominate you mentally…

to take your space…

to throw you off balance…

to put you on your heels before the real damage starts.

So, what can we do about it? Let’s explore…

Most people either freeze… or shove back.

Neither is a great option.

A push isn’t just a challenge—it’s an opportunity.

when someone rushes in to push you, they’re not grounded.

Their weight is forward, their posture is stretched out, and their brain is committed to one thing… forward.

That means they’re wide open. And that’s where we take control.

Push Defense

The moment you see them surging in—arms out, posture extended—you don’t wait to get driven back.

Your hands are already up, right?

Just before they make contact, slap their hands down hard.

Don’t grab them.

You’re not trying to fight the push—you’re redirecting it.

When you do that with intent, their upper body tips forward.

Their head drops.

Their momentum keeps carrying them, but now it’s uncontrolled.

That’s when your elbow comes up—tight, sharp, and straight into the head (more likely face) that’s practically handing itself to you.

It’s fast. It’s simple.

It turns their offensive rush into your clean finish.

No struggle. No wrestling match.

Just timing, structure, and a little brutality.

Before You Go...

The push isn’t an attack—it’s a setup.

For them or for you.

The difference is whether you know how to answer it.

Master this one move and you’ll never get shoved into someone else’s fight plan again.

Stay sharp,
