So what can you do against punches? You can parry or block to defend against a punch. You can move back as a defense. Without doing parry or block, only using your head movement, you can defend yourself against punches.
You can watch this interesting video where some people on the street punch him and he only uses head movement and footwork as a defense against their punches. For safety, they use boxing gloves and a mouthguard.
Even by accident, if you get hit on your face, you might be bleeding, it can damage your teeth, nose, and chin. So when you do sparring or make a test about something, it is better to wear protection for safety.
There is something you might notice in the fight. When they start fighting and testing this, the guy is ready and he stands in a fighting stance. When you are ready and your hands are up, it makes a big difference.
If someone punches you in a street fight, he might not give you any warning about what he is going to do. You have to understand that in order to protect yourself. That's why it makes it difficult to do that. You don't know whether you will be attacked or not. And even if you are being attacked, you do not know when.
You will not wear a mouthguard and protection in a fight for self-defense. So any punch on your face can make way more damage than you think.
You can use head movement and also use your hands to block and parry. And the most important thing is, don't just keep blocking punches, counter-attack quickly. As a result, at least, the attacker will think twice before making his next move.
