WHAT DOES STREET FIGHTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Street fighting

Street fighting is hand-to-hand combat in public places, between individuals or groups of people. Unlike sport fighting, a street fight might involve weapons, multiple opponents or revenge and has no rules. The venue is usually a public place and the fight often results in a serious injury or even death. The main difference between street fighting and a self-defense situation is that a street fight is avoidable, whereas a self-defense situation is not. The other characteristic being that the fight is consensual between both parties. A typical situation might involve two men arguing in a bar, then one suggests stepping outside, where the fight commences. Thus, it is often possible to avoid the fight by backing off, while in self-defense, a person is actively trying to escape the situation, using force if necessary to ensure his or her own safety. Teamsters fighting against the police in Minneapolis, 1934. In some martial arts communities, street fighting and self-defense are often considered synonymous.
