It is 1997, and it is round 6 of one of the most electrifying fights in boxing history. It is the slug fest between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Apparently, Holyfield gains steam and is starting to land blows to the near invincible Mike Tyson. Then suddenly, Holyfield knocks Tyson to the canvas with a powerful left hook. The crowd goes wild! “Holyfield!” “Holyfield!” “Holyfield” they chant. Tyson becomes furious. They mix it up again. “Bam!” Holyfield accidentally head butts Tyson. Tyson loses it. Tyson then bites a chunk of ear off of Holyfield! Holyfield is stunned–as so was the entire boxing world. You see, Tyson went into “street fighter” mode.
There are 4 important and surprising reasons why you should bite when you fight.
The 4 Important Reasons To Bite When You Fight:
Reason To Bite #1 – It Is Primal And Instinctual – If you ever notice little preschoolers when they get really angry and fight–they bite. Biting is an instinctual natural response of self-defense that I believe is one of the few engrained and natural human responses of self defense. But what happens is that as we grow up and become adults, we suppress that which is natural for sake of civility. Remember, in the streets, when somebody is trying to take your life or that of a loved one, anything goes–anything!
Reason To Bite #2 – It Is Shocking And Disarming – If you bite the ear, cheek or the nipple, you will get a shock and panic response. Your attacker immediately shifts to defensive mode. Where he was the hunter, he is now the prey. In a grappling situation, if someone gets you on the ground and straddles you, bite the groin. I guarantee you they will scream, panic and beg for mercy.
Reason To Bite #3 – It Is Extremely Painful And Subduing – You can break any grappler’s hold by doing something as simple as leaning over and biting him on the ear. Grapplers will expect everything but biting. They don’t know what to do and they will usually panic and release you immediately.
Reason To Bite #4 – Bite And Growl As The Ultimate Weapon – If you bite into the cheek or the ear of an assailant and growl, you will totally freak him out! He will look at you like a mad man, and will sometimes freeze in shock and fear, but you relentlessly continue your hold and you attack without mercy. Fighting as my honored teacher, Norm Bettencourt always tells me “Fighting is 90% mental and only about 10% physical.
So, in a fight–you bite–and scare that fool clean out of sight.
