STOP using flashy moves! They’re easy to avoid

Getting punched in the nose makes your eyes water, ALOT

People work in their comfort zone. Depending on what type of fighting it is it will be different. Boxers stay on their feet. Wrestlers go for the ground.

If you get hit in the jaw hard enough you're going down. It’s basically the easiest way to knock out.

Keep in mind size difference. Bigger people have the advantage in strength. Smaller people have advantage in speed.

Short sentances! when your writing its easier to follow when it's straight to the point.

Same things with words. Don't try to use fancy language. Use simple clear and consise wording to help you reader understand.

Cut the drama. Charcters are not going to dwell on what the attacker said a minute ago if they're coming at them with a knife.
