For six months Dillon Chandra trained with Master Horst at Ichinen Bridport dojo and finished his effort with the DofE bronze award and the 2nd Kyu / blue belt Jiu-Jitsu. Dillon was a green belt for many years already and took the next step up today. He and his father, who was most of the time Dillon's training partner, were both very happy today.

Most common attacks

What are the most common attacks in a street fight?
To know this would improve the approach in training and skills to learn for real combat and therefore I wonder, why there is not much to find online nowadays.

When I published my first post on that subject three years ago, I first concentrated on the 10 most common attacks. My source than was the official page from UK government / law enforcement. They provided the most 100! common attacks.

Checking out the german government equivalent page I found it was very much the same. The first 10 equaled in 9 of them. Makes sense, 2 arms, 2 legs and similar cultural background.

Unfortunately then I only copied the first 20 common attacks and only bookmarked the more. Shortly after that, the links been broken and since than there is no information available. I wonder why?

If you find more please get in touch.
