Joe Rogan has been training in mixed martial arts for more than 40 years now and has vast experience in disciplines such as kickboxing, taekwondo, and BJJ. Rogan knows how to fight and how defend himself when being attacked in the street.
While talking about street fights, Rogan mentioned that when in a street brawl one should particularly focus on defending and letting the other person swing wildly. After a done time, the aggressor will automatically get tired and that will be the time to capitalize.
He said: “It is almost more important for defense than it is for anything. Because half the time if you are ever in a fight with someone and they just start swinging at you. If you have good defense, you just stand there with your hands up and you wait. Let him swing. And all of sudden, now you are tired. Now we gonna fight and you are tired.”
On the streets fighting is mostly about how efficiently one can utilize everything around to win and that’s exactly what Rogan believes, to be patient rather than foolishly swinging.

Rogan has black belts in both black belts in Jiu-Jitsu and Taekwondo but surprisingly always decided to avoid getting into street fights. While talking to Hollywood director, Jon Peters, Rogan mentioned that he deliberately ignored getting into fights as they were not worth it. The last fight he had on the street he lost miserably.
“Like a street fight, fight, I avoided street fights. The last three fights that I had is probably when I was like 14. The last one that I got in, I lost. … He got me in a headlock.” said Rogan.
In his teen years, Rogan used to move around in the country participating in different combat sports competitions, and didn’t want to risk getting injured in street fights. However, fans still believe that Rogan could beat people with his legendary sidekick even at the age of 56.
