You know, I just watched both of those videos, and besides thinking..."well there goes 12 minutes of my life I can never get back" This popped into my head

That is comedy gold. Nonsense advice aside this guy is good value for money.

 

The question answered on January the 8th is amazing.

 

In regards to street fighting, there isn't a problem with ground fighting because most street fights end up on the ground
so you need ground fighting skills.
1. To take someone down and maintain positional dominance to inflict harm such as ground and pound, choke outs
and joint manipulations.
2. That if you get taken down, you have the ability to counter or reverse them to gain positional dominance to inflict harm.
3. That if you get taken to the ground, you have the ability to escape and get back up on your feet, which leads me to problems
of going to the ground when street fighting.

The problem with going to the ground when street fighting starts to come clear with a quickness "If you have ever been in these situations".
1. When you suddenly realize you just got kicked in the side of the head by his buddy/buddy's steel toed boot/boots.
2. When you got someone mounted and as soon as you try to do your ground and pound, 4 of his buddies grab your legs and arms
and pull you of him so he can get up, then they all 5 want to fight you.
There are probably a lot more scenarios where it's not advisable, especially in bars, but you get the picture.

 

Addendum
Last year has also called and also wants it's thread back please

 

I really don't think that's true, that most street fights end on the ground. I know it's peddled a lot but I doubt its veracity. I'm sure a lot of street fights end with one punch, and one person out on the ground cold. Sure somebody who is trained as a grappler might intentionally take someone to the ground, or two untrained yahoos might clinch and fall, but in most cases people fighting try to stay on their feet, and plenty of online videos out there confirm many fights in public don't end up on the ground at all.

 

You are correct, I should have said "sometimes" instead of "most" and yes, the point I was trying to covey was to try to stay on your feet.
Not all surfaces are nice and flat, free of debris. Ice, water, mud, gravel, sand, uneven surfaces and street curbs/trip hazards, can
all quickly turn a skilled fighter into an untrained yahoo.
Sometimes fights end with one punch, sometimes fights never go to the ground and sometimes fights go to the ground, that's why one
should have skills in all the ranges of fighting because a street fight is too dynamic based on environment, a persons physical makeup
or their skill set.
