# Use the terrain to gain an advantage in street fighting In conflicts, terrain utilization is a key factor. The following are some strategies for clever use of terrain： ## Observe and prepare -Quickly identify high points, bunkers and escape routes - Pay attention to available terrain elements such as trash cans, steps or protrusions -Assess ground conditions (slippery, narrow, etc.) ## Tactical use -Use the corners of the wall as a defensive barrier to reduce the exposed area -Standing on favorable terrain (such as a slightly higher altitude) can gain psychological and physical advantages -Avoid being trapped in a dead end and always make sure there is a retreat route -Use the echo effect to create sound confusion ## Strategic considerations -Familiarity with the terrain is more important than strength advantage -Maintain mobility and don't be fixed in an unfavorable position -Consider the light conditions (chiaroscuro) and try to let the opponent face unfavorable light as much as possible Remember, the wisest choice is usually to avoid conflict and evacuate in time. These strategies should only be used in real self-defense situations.
