You have to wind up your punches and kicks for them to hurt. That means your opponent has to kinetically link a series of body parts, and multiply their leverage for maximum impact. Take away those links and there's no power behind the attack. If you hit a golf ball with a golf club, there is a specific point in the club's trajectory that will transmit maximum energy to the ball. Anywhere before, or after that specific point will have less power.

Thus the secret to never getting hurt in a fist fight is to position yourself where the opponent's swing has no strength.

To hit you, your opponent has to see you, he has to judge your distance and strike. Before your opponent can strike his feet must be set, if you keep your opponent from setting his feet his attacks have no power. Thus the ancient wisdom of Tai Chi rings true, the foot must be faster than the hand.

Climbing a tree saved my ass when I was 12 or so. I was walking home at night, and was in the middle of a block. A car went past me, slammed on their brakes after seeing me, realized that they would give away their intention if they reversed, so they drove to the next intersection and hung a right. As soon as they were out of sight, I climbed a nearby tree that was not near a streetlight. Not long after I got up there, the same car came back the same way it had just come from, only driving very slowly. They had the windows down and I could hear then talking "where the fuck did he go?" They sat there for a minute then drove around and came back the same stretch of road a few more times. They left and I stayed up there a good 10 minutes or so to make sure that they weren't coming back again.
