Where'd you get that statistic from then?

3 Mins in a fight is an eternity!! I don't know where you got this figure from but 3 mins is a hell of a lot longer than the average street fight.

Get a stop watch, time 3 mins, then imagine fighting out on the street for that long!

I've worked on doors where we've had huge Gladiator style battles out in the car park, bottles, stools, plant pots etc flying through the air, fights that have had many people involved, and there's just out and out brawling going on and just when you think it's all done and dusted and every thing is over, it kicks off again and it seems to drag on forever.

Then, when you play it back on the CCTV, to learn what happened and how you can learn from it, you see it lasted a minute or two.

It may FEEL like it lasts 3 mins or longer, (to me personally it always seems a lifetime) but in reality, it doesn't last that long, and that's a fight that has a build up, a kick off and an end with many people involved.

The average street fight, doeas not last nowhere near as long as 3 mins.

The average street fight is not a street fight at all. It's usually someone taking advantage of someone weaker or at a disadvantage and is over in seconds, not minutes.

Street fights, where two opponents square up and go toe to toe are as rare as hens teeth. The reality is some poor sod getting a kicking because he/she was there, in the wrong place at the wrong time, not a 3 min street fight.

I'm not disrespecting this system, all I'm saying is if you're going to use fear as a marketing tool, then at least keep it realistiic.

Have to agree with Heno, it always seems like an eternity at the time but 3 minutes is excessive mate.
As for Driving Courses try sending praetorian550 a pm (once you have 5 posts) and he will point you in the right direction.

You can also check out Besopke Driving, I've not done their course but I belive it is of an exceptionally high standard.

3 mins??? Hmm! Not sure about that figure I'm afraid...

Are you sure 3 mins isn't the average length of a 'Hollywood' fight?

1 min in a street fight is ' forever '....3 mins may well result in ' death by adrenaline '.
A useful link though reaper, so don't want to make too much of a minor question mark.

sorry for not replying sooner, the average street fight quote comes from a guy called bill wolfe who teaches cqc all over the world. you may do your own homework on this guy, but i am sure most of your fights as are mine last no longer than a minute or two. my point was, as a Close Protection operative if i can't last 3 min or more in the avent of a well trained lunatic trying to kick my clients ass im probably not going to get any more work.remember train for the worst but hope for the best, everyone be safe and thanks for your replies.
