Dent, got any quick fighting tips?

I've got plenty, but would suggest these couple of gems:

Big Circles Equal Big Trouble - Swinging your arms around like a retard, or trying to swing these huge looping superduper Fight Night punches takes entirely too much time and can even injure your own hands. Economy of motion. Punch straight if your target is in front of you, and in small elongated loops if you're striking around checks/blocks. Proper body alignment and back-up mass behind a punch can be extremely powerful, even for Wotak.

Kicks can and will end fights. Whatever you can do with your hands can be done with your legs/feet. A kick to the knee, or cock set can end a fight quicker than a punch to the face. Kicking above the waist is gayness and will certainly be blocked and countered.

Punches and kicks are two very obvious weapons. Spear hands (thrusting fingers) to the eyes, solar plexus, crotch. Claws to the face. Elbows, knees, swordhands, back and hammer fists, headbutts. Stomps to the instep, toes.

A winning combination: Angles and faints. Throw faint, wait for reaction, deviate angle and attack.

Don't be on the defense - hit first. If you think a fight is about to happen, hit or run. Do not try and talk your way out of it, because that's when you get smacked like a woman.

The head is not the only place to knock a human out - learn about nerve strikes and you'll have an upper hand.

Seek training. Most people are absolutely frightened of fighting and/or defending themselves. Find a private trainer and within a few sessions you will have confidence squirting out of your asshole. You don't need a decade of training to win a fight, you just need to understand that there's a lot more to just throwing punches and kicking.

Eh, if I only read Dent's tutorial before my wife got home from the bar last evening. She doesn't even care if there are marks left.

Fuck that shit, crying has always worked for me

Ya know, I can remember at least one time when this article would have come in very handy.

The first failing in a fist fite is hesitance. Try to put your fist through the wall behind the head of your opponent on the first punch... And do it quick. Once you know it's going to get physical, try to end the altercation as quickly as possible through sheer force.
No one wants to try to scoop up the aftermath of an extended bitch fight. Collateral damage makes you look like a brute. A knock-out in the first round,though, makes you the victor... Whether you are in the right or not.

swordhands. hammer fists

These are my new favorite things.

Which comedian had the bit about going crazy in a fight and taking off all your clothes, because no one wants to start a fight with a naked man?

I remember Damon Wayans had a skit similar to this during his stand-up routine when he was sort of funny.
