hyperthread, thanks for sharing your experience. I have not really got into gang fight but I do know that those who participate in gang fight are mostly coward- they turn into "tiger' only when he/she is among the group of friends.Furthermore, majority of the people who fight in gang do not really know how to fight. I know it is very chaotic when it comes to gang fight. As far as I am concern, when one fights he/she needs to be totally focus and not use fancy kick and punches. It is best that one conserves as much energy as possible, hence it is advisable that there is minimum high kicks and swinging pucnhes. By the way, I am a martial art exponent who has experience in Karate ( full contact)and is currently learning kickboxing and Kali. Regards, Rai
