Tap Out does not exist in street fights

Tap Out does not exist in street fights.

In fact, the term “Tap Out” is not generally used in street fights.

“Tap Out” is an expression associated with ground fighting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, mixed martial arts (MMA) and other combat sports, where a participant can “tap out” or “give signs of surrender” to indicate that they wish to interrupt the match due to a dangerous situation, submission or excessive pain.

During a fight or MMA match, a participant can “tap out” or “give signs of surrender” to indicate a willingness to stop the match.

This is usually the case when a wrestler is at a disadvantage or is undergoing submission, such as a joint lever or choke, which could cause excessive damage or pain if protracted.

Tapping, or “tapping out,” usually means repeatedly tapping or tapping on the body, floor, or opponent to signal surrender.

In street fights, which are situations of unregulated and unsporting physical violence, there are no formal rules or surrender mechanisms such as those in sports competitions.

Street clashes are usually chaotic, unpredictable and dangerous, and often involve the use of extreme violence without any form of control.

It is important to remember that street fights are illegal and very dangerous, and trying to avoid them is always the best choice. In case of dangerous situations, it is important to try to get to safety and call the police to report the incident.

In the context of regulated sports competitions, such as MMA, there are specific rules to ensure the safety of participants.

These rules involve referees to monitor the match, making sure it is stopped in case of surrender signals such as “Tap Out” or if a participant is in a dangerous position.

Clashes on the street are not regulated like sporting matches except for the ethics and morals of those involved in the clash or hope for a quick intervention of security, law enforcement or some good citizen who intervenes which is a very, very rare thing.

There are no official rules or a control entity that oversees such situations.

Street clashes are illegal, dangerous and often unpredictable situations, where physical violence can result in serious consequences for everyone involved.

My recommendation remains to avoid clashes in the street and to try to resolve conflicts peacefully by moving away when possible or using de-escalation techniques.

In case of danger, it is always better to try to get to safety and immediately call the police to report the incident.

There are also no limits on the use of firearms, sticks or knives, improvised weapons, use of pepper spray, illegal shots, multiple aggressors, one giant against one small, etc.

In a street fight there is no referee and there is no protection there is no surrender

In street fights there is no referee or formal protection as happens in regulated sports competitions.

Street clashes are situations of uncontrolled physical violence, where civil rules and norms are often ignored.

In a street fight, the people involved act violently and there are no predefined rules or surrender mechanisms as in the sporting context.

Situations of this type are dangerous and can result in serious injury or even death.

My recommendation remains to avoid clashes in the street and to try to resolve conflicts peacefully, for example by trying to get away from the situation or calling the police to intervene.

It is essential to prioritize one’s own safety and that of others in situations of potential violence.

Remember that street fights are illegal and do not lead to anything positive.

Always try to avoid such situations and adopt peaceful behaviors to resolve conflicts.

You can’t count on people around you to intervene

You’re right, in some cases nearby individuals may not intervene to stop a fight on the street.

People may be reluctant to get in the way of violent situations for fear of risking their safety or for other reasons.

My main recommendation remains to avoid clashes in the street and try to get to safety.

It’s important to remember that your personal safety is your top priority. Instead of intervening directly in a physical confrontation, consider these alternatives:

• Try to get away from the situation: if possible, try to move away from the place of the confrontation and put yourself in a safe place.
• Ask for assistance from the relevant authorities: call the police immediately to report the incident and provide them with all relevant information about the situation.
• Seek help from other people or surrounding places: seek refuge in a public area or business and ask for help from staff or people present.
• Use your phone to record the situation: If you are in a safe location, you can use your phone to record videos or take pictures of the situation. This material could be useful for investigation and as evidence later.
• In any case, try to avoid engaging in a direct physical confrontation, as this may pose additional risks to your safety and that of others.

So sometimes filming can be useful

Yes, in certain circumstances, filming the situation can be useful.

Recording a video or taking photos can provide visual evidence of the incident and can be used as evidence or testimony later.

However, it is important to consider some precautions when deciding to film a violent situation:

Make sure you’re safe: Before you start recording, make sure you and the people around you are safe. Don’t put your personal safety at risk to capture images.

Keep a safe distance: Try to keep an adequate distance from the situation and use the camera’s zoom, if available, to get clear images without getting too close.

Avoid inciting violence: Do not use the recording as a means to further incite violence or to act provocatively.

Try to be a neutral observer and not interfere with the situation.

Share recordings with relevant authorities: If you believe your recordings are relevant to an investigation or complaint, turn them over to the appropriate law enforcement or report them to them.

Remember that filming a situation is not a substitute for calling law enforcement.

If you witness a clash on the street, it is essential to call the authorities immediately to report the incident and provide them with all the necessary information.

Conclusion

In conclusion, street clashes represent a context of violence and danger that must be absolutely avoided.

In such situations, civil rules and regulations are often disregarded, and there is no formal guardianship or arbitrator to intervene to ensure the safety of participants.

Indiscriminate violence, unpredictability and the absence of limits make street clashes a frightening and uncontrollable reality.

The consequences can be devastating, with risks of serious injury or even loss of life and even if you are the one who kills the aggressor the legal and moral consequences can go in a direction you do not expect, in addition to potential retaliation if you have killed the wrong person.

Always remember that personal safety and well-being are priorities.

Try to avoid situations of violence, moving away and immediately calling the police to report the incident.

The images of these clashes can be disturbing and bring to mind the cruel reality of a violent world.

Recognizing the seriousness of such situations is a reminder of the importance of promoting peace and mutual respect in our communities.

We choose to end this cycle of violence and work together to create a world where differences are resolved through peaceful dialogue and respect for human dignity.

Only in this way can we hope to eradicate fear and build a future in which we can all live without shivers of terror.
