Thread: Have you ever been into a fight?

I've been in several fights. I won some and lost some. The key is to pick your battles when you can. If you find yourself outnumbered or up against a big guy, make sure you strike first and strike hard. I surprised myself a couple times when big guys would run off crying after being slugged upside the head.

i've been beaten up many times by my brother.

I don't like to fight but I will if I have to. Sometimes its unavoidable though. If I feel strongly enough about a situation to resort to physical violence then someone probably had it coming anyway. The thing I have to be careful about is that few people actually know what they're getting themselves into. Someone on the street can easily under-estimate my ability and write themselves a check that they're ass can't cash. They don't see how big i am under my sweatshirt or know that I've been trained in hand to hand combat (USMC).I know how fucked up someone will be if I strike them in stomach 9 but they dont, so its up to me to make that call for them and save themselves some hospital time and myself some jail time by walking away from certain situations. Thats a two way street though as I have no idea whether I'm going up against a member of the perhaps 10-15% of the population that can kick my ass. Like someone said before me you have to pick your battles carefully. I've been in about 10 fights in my life and lost most of them, I've also been picked on most of my life, which was my motivation for getting to the point where I'm at today. So I guess I'll leave this thread with some words of wisdom

"Walk softly but carry a big ass stick"
-Teddy Roosevelt

I got into a lot of fights in Middle and High School. Lost most of them, I weighed 120 but had a very big mouth LOL. But as I've grown and also grown confidence you can get out of most fights through confidence. I've come close in the past few years but they've always walked away at the end. I'm glad too because I'd probably still get my butt kicked

I've been in several since 7th grade. I won them all. Mostly because I picked my battles wisely though. There have been times when I got into confrontations with guys who could have whupped my ass. In those situations, I just talked my way out.

I'm not very big, so a lot of people underestimate me. Most of the fights I've been in were against people bigger than me. I was a pretty good wreslter in high school albeit in a low weight class and I have a blackbelt in karate.

Mixed martial arts is probably my favorite sport to watch. UFC and PRIDE FC rule.

I do burpees all the time, so you know I always kick peoples asses 24/7.

Ive been known to toss around a sandbag or two in my day also, so you know Im hard bitches.

One time, in this resteraunt some guy dropped a spoon, and I beat up the whole resteraunt, that elderly waitress never saw it coming.

I've been in many fights...some tough areas around where I grew up...and never lost. That said, I hope I never need to get into a physical altercation again, as I hate fighting immensely. Personally, even when a person "deserves" it, I hate to hurt anyone, and always felt like sh$t about it later on.

gopro how did u never lose, any tips on how to win in fights?

On a serious note, if you just walk away you win. You are the bigger man.

Fighting is for highschool kids.

Yeah, just "look" like Gopro and the person you're fighting will fall down from the fear I'd never want to mess with him.

Simple...
beat the other guys ass before he beats yours

unlike most people, i do not pick my fights wisely, when i do fight or about to fight its alway Jack picking them for me.

ya it's the same way with me. I don't want to fight and i would never start anything. Nobody has ever pushed my buttons to the point where i would just lose it. I'm a cool guy and very likeable so that's why i haven't fought. To be honest with you though, i've always wondered what it's like to punch someone so hard in the face. I wish i could have experienced it in the past but you never know.

Also gopro, i'm surprised you have been in fights. If i was a guy your size or smaller, i would run away. Why did you get into fights or were your fights back from high school?

I was going to write something similar.

I don't fight. I would only fight if it was going to save one from dieing or a really serious matter. I'm not going to fight because someone was making fun of me or something stupid like that.

Nah, I don´t fight, I am über cool.

this guy "tony jae" might have mickel beat

Even though I came out victorious every fight I've been in, I must say I lost every one of them on the grounds that I let my anger get the best of me.

I've only had to defend myself a few times and they ended as quickly as they started, with the drunk getting knocked out, not so much from me but the alcohol.


I used to spar alot when I was practicing martial arts, that's the best way to be prepared I took the Jeet Kune Do approach and learned alot of different ways to disable an opponent. I started in Shotkan, then went to Jeet Kune Do and then added some Aikido. Alot of the Aikido has stuck with me over the years, sometimes when I go to shake a business clients hand I feel like flipping them just to see how they'll react.

I hate people who cant make rational, non-generalized statements blaming a specific problem on one person. People all over the world have been molested, raped and murdered over the last 28 years, is the Pope at fault for all of that. Someone in my town choked on a juju fruit at the movies last week. I'm suing the guy who invented candy. Actually, the guy who invented movies, no wait, the man who invented the dumb bitch who made that statement. Come back to reality.

no but i might have to kick this guys ass.

























j/k fighting is dumb n scary n has a way of making everyone look like a jerry springer guest.

Yea. Lost some won some.. I dont like to fight much anymore.

i kicked his ^^ the other day

Hmmm, well, being trained in the martial arts for about 7 years certainly helped, but I think that # 1 is that when I have been put in the position where I HAD to fight, my mindset changes from a rational human being into that of a crazed animal. I become totally fearless and unafraid to get hurt. Taking pain from any blows that I received only fueled me to become even more inhuman. Its kind of like I step completely outside my normal self and become something that is convinced he needs to kill or be killed, so to speak.

Now, like I said...I absolutely HATE being put in that position, and would do anything I had to to avoid it. Having been in that state several times, I have realized that this is a very scary and dangerous "mindset" to be in.

THAT was freaking hilarious, LOL!!

I've been in many fights through out jr high to several years ago. I used to hang out with ese's so it was bound to happen. I've gotten beat down badly twice. Once was a rumble where someone from behind picked me up and slammed me face down. I chipped my tooth on that one. My last fight was about 3yrs ago, backing up a drunk friend, which later he was bitching that I didn't do enough cuz we both got beat down. They were twice the size of me, what am I supposed to do? Hopefully no more fights come my way.
