Need to defend yourself in a fight? Want to use every advantage? Fighting dirty is cheating in any sort of combat sport or competition and is not advised, however, if you need to protect yourself and beat an oppopnent/s, fighting dirty or, using every trick in the book, can help you get out of a dangerous situation. You should always aim to avoid physical combat and never use more force than is required when a fight is unpreventable but if you ever find you are fighting for your life, or, want to describe such in a work of fiction, this article provides some guidance and advice.

# If you have exhausted all forms of negotiating and the fight is definitely going to happen, move in. Get close to your target. Don’t stand arm's width apart from target. That’s where the punch will hurt the most. Get close. Try this, for example: walk up to a wall, put your fist about away and punch the wall. Not bad, didn’t kill you right? Now, step back and punch the wall as hard as you can with a full extension of your arm. You didn’t do it, did you? It would have hurt like hell.[[Image:Fight Dirty and Win Step 9.jpg|center]]

# If you're holding a beverage before the fight occurs and you know that the fight is about to begin, take a sip then spit it into your opponent's face to buy some time.

If you use chewing tobacco, the same effect can be achieved by spitting tobacco juice into your opponent's eyes.[[Image:Fight Dirty and Win Step 27.jpg|center]]
