For other uses, see Street Fight.
Street fighting is a colloquial term used to denote unsanctioned, usually illegal, hand-to-hand fighting in public places, between individuals or groups of people. The term also usually carries the connotation that the fighters are not professional martial artists or fighters. Participants may use basic boxing, kick boxing, wrestling, or improvised tactics, including biting, eye gouging, hitting other participants with objects or throwing objects at them. Any rules of combat are dictated by personal choice or code of honor.
When street fighting escalates to include large scale destruction of property by numerous participants it becomes a riot.
Street fighting may include edged weapons, blunt weapons or improvised weapons. Dueling such as a gunfight which may take place in a street is not considered a form of street fighting due to its formal nature. Fighting that takes place in streets as part of combat by military forces is known as urban warfare.
While street fighting as an actual activity is relatively rare, street fight video games and films are very popular.

There is a gym my friend goes to that she likes a lot. They train in Muay Thai and kick boxing. Some of the people there also compete in amateur MMA fights. The gym is open for people to sign up and learn MMA, so other than signing up what else would i need to do to be able to get a fight in amateur MMA? Thanks :)
