🥊✈️ The Biggest Lie Combat Sports Teach About Real Fights

Hey Warrior,

You have to admire Boxers.

They’re in incredible shape. Amazing athletes.

If you’ve ever sparred with someone good at boxing you know it sucks.

But in the end boxing is a sport.

It takes endurance. A lot of it.

Self-Defense. That’s different game.

Let’s explore.

When you’re in the ring, you can dance, jab, and counter-punch all night.

It’s just you versus the other guy.

But in self defense, there are no points for “winning on endurance.”

Nobody cares how good your gas tank is when you’re up against someone who’s bigger, crazier, or just plain meaner than you.

The ugly truth

If your plan is to tire the other guy out, you’re not in a self-defense situation.

Street violence is sudden, messy, and usually over in seconds. The only “strategy” that matters is:

• Hit first (if you have no other choice).

• Hit like you mean it.

• Keep going until you’re out of danger.

• Then get out—fast.

Anything less than overwhelming aggression?

That’s just giving the other guy time to rethink his life… and yours.

Look, I love combat sports.

I love watching a good back-and-forth slugfest as much as the next guy.

But if you try to “outbox” someone in the parking lot, you might find out that his cousin is waiting in the shadows…

…or that he doesn’t play by any rules you know.

Bottom line

Self-defense isn’t about fighting fair. It’s about surviving.

You want the fight over before it ever really starts—overwhelming force, controlled aggression, then get the hell out.
