How to win a fight (a.k.a not get punched in the face)

(CBS News) We at The Feed definitely don't condone fighting, but if you happen to find yourself in a scuffle in the near future, fighting expert Trav has some helpful hints on his YouTube site, FightSmartTrav, that will make sure your face stays nice and pretty. According to his instructional video above, it's all about the swing and the miss. If you do things right, you won't even have to throw a single punch, just avoid the other guy's fists.

As you can see from the video, these unsuspecting volunteers hardly ever make contact with Trav -- no matter how hard they try (and they do try hard). The more they try to wail on him, the more tired they become and ultimately give up. In fact Trav is so confident that he doesn't even wear gloves or throw a single hit. As he writes on his YouTube page, it's all about not getting hit, and making the other person tired with his misses:

You can learn how to win a street fight simply by learning how to move your head! If you make your opponent miss, you stay safe and he gets tired... then it becomes easy to win a street fight.

So, while I sincerely hope you don't find yourself in a brawl anytime soon, if you do, just hear Trav's words in your head, and you will keep your face looking like a face as he so aptly puts it. And remember, a good defense is always a good offense, it's not just a lesson in fighting, it's a lesson in life, my friends. Don't say The Feed never taught you anything!
