Now, when you are in a fight, make sure you are not the one who started it, Keep that in mind.

Upper Block - Points to remember:

The two arms work in an action reaction movement, meaning as one moves strongly in one direction the other moves equally strongly in the other direction.
The arms should cross at about eye level.
Both arms should move in a twisting motion thereby deflecting the attack rather than meeting force with force.
At the moment of impact the arm and fist should be locked into position with tension.
The blocking arm should have a 45 degree angle both towards the floor and towards the line of attack, ie. a head splitting attack with a stick (or baseball bat!) would slide off to the side and past you instead of cutting your arm in two.
In order to gain maximum power you will need to have good stance such as Sanchin Dachi or Heiko Dachi.
Inhale on the downward motion and exhale on locking the block into position.

Front kicks generally come in two variations. One is a quick flick aimed at the attackers groin, with emphasis on speed and surprise rather than power. The other is a thrusting front kick that is usually aimed at the middle of the body (stomach) and is delivered with power and in some variations, with body weight behind it to provide extra thrust. A thrusting front kick can break ribs and instantly stop an attacker.

GoJu-Ryu Karate places emphasis on close quarters fighting. Thus it uses a variety of close inn fighting techniques including the elbow strike. Everyone has reasonably strong elbows - after all they are practically all bone - that makes them formidable weapons ideal for close distance strikes.

Of course there are countless ways to escape bear hugs, including strikes with the back of the head, groin strikes with the fist, elbow strikes to the stomach, stomping on the attackers feet, hooking into the attackers knees etc etc. This particular technique is all but one way in which on can escape a bear hug - it is important to learn many techniques, because each real life situation is different, and may call for an instant variation of the theme. Only if you have a good repertoire of techniques will you be able to choose the right technique at the right time.

Flipping Someone:

step 1: Grab your opponent's arm

Step 2: Put your foot in front of your opponent's foot.

Step 3: Push your leg against your opponent's leg and pull them over your shoulder.

Enjoy.

A good tip for fighting is, No Mercy (Never feel bad for your opponent unless you seriously injured them).

Most people are not proficient enough to kick even as low as the stomach from a standing position (where both the defender and assailant are standing face-to-face). In such a case, it is advisable to kick low if you kick at all. Kick the attacker in the shins. That is always effective. Kicking at the knee or Achilles tendon is even more so. Keep your balance; don't lean in a way that would let your opponent knock you off balance. When you step, don't lose balance. The power of your punches will be strongest when your feet are planted firmly.
