Close Range Punching Is Where It’s At

“I know categorically that punching is the range to be at…most situations start from about 18 inches away…punching range is where it’s at…if you take my advice, you’ll spend the majority of your time training in punching range…you might not agree with that if you’re watching match fight stuff, like the UFC…grapplers are the most dangerous people on the planet, but that is match fighting…street fighting is different from that because the majority of street fights are three second affairs…you’ve got to learn to develop awesome power from close in…by using your body weight. Close range punching is where it’s at.”
