His strategy often involved calmly analyzing the situation and helping the aggressors see the absurdity of their anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten gave an example: \u201c\u2018He was looking at my wife,\u2019 I go, \u2018He was looking at your wife? Did he touch her? Did he say derogatory things at her? Did he make faces at her?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten explained how he\u2019d point out that if none of that happened, the person was likely just admiring her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a compliment, dude! That means your wife is a good-looking wife,\u201d Rutten would say, often resolving the situation right there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-calm-and-observe-hands\">Stay Calm and Observe Hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten stressed the importance of staying calm while de-escalating a tense situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe screamers, it will never work,\u201d he said. Instead, he advised keeping things calm, avoiding aggressive body language like &#8220;fighting stances.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of his critical tips was to always be aware of the other person\u2019s hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlways make sure you look at their hands,\u201d Rutten emphasized. \u201cIf they put their hands in the pocket or whatever, always expect something.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being aware of potential threats allows you to be ready for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-positioning-is-key-back-to-the-wall\">Positioning is Key: Back to the Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When de-escalation fails, Rutten stressed the importance of positioning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI put my back against the wall. If there\u2019s a corner, I\u2019m with my back in the corner because nobody can attack me from the sides,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten also added that if the situation becomes dangerous, it\u2019s crucial to stay smart and avoid conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t fight if they have a knife. Don\u2019t let your ego control yourself. You might die,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;I mean, people do things for no freaking reason, you know. Just simply watch out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-knife-worse-than-a-gun\">Knife Worse Than A Gun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten did say that when a weapon is involved, and you can&#8217;t get away, speed and strategy are critical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained, &#8220;You\u2019re going to have to go fast.&#8221; Rutten emphasized that knives are often more dangerous than guns in close combat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A knife is much more dangerous. It can cut from every side, especially if it\u2019s double-bladed,&#8221; he said, noting that the unpredictable nature of knife attacks makes them highly dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, controlling a gun is more manageable once you control the barrel and ensure you&#8217;re not in the line of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten also underscored the importance of situational awareness, advising that bystanders or loved ones shouldn&#8217;t be in the line of fire during a confrontation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake sure a loved one doesn\u2019t stand on the side, because if he pulls the trigger, that person is going to go,\u201d Rutten warned, stressing that staying alert to the environment can make all the difference in high-risk situations.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-distance-and-space-to-your-advantage\">Use Distance and Space to Your Advantage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, during a street fight, Rutten suggested using space and distance to control the outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf the fight goes outside, now it\u2019s my domain because now I got space,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten described how creating distance makes it harder for someone to strike effectively, and using this space can help convince them to back off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could have hit you already,\u201d he would tell aggressors after dodging their strikes, showing them that continuing the fight wasn\u2019t in their best interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fewer-techniques-better-execution\">Fewer Techniques, Better Execution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking to protect themselves, Rutten advised sticking to a few effective techniques rather than trying to learn too many. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not that difficult to knock somebody out,\u201d he explained, \u201cbut make sure you don\u2019t have too many techniques. Just a few techniques and know them very well, and you\u2019re going to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutten concluded by saying that street fights are unpredictable, but with the right mindset, positioning, and technique, you can often avoid them or handle them safely if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>What did you think about Rutten&#8217;s advice?
