Popular Post ColeBOzbourne Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 Got in a knock-down-drag-out with myself one time. I was so mad after that I wouldn't look in the mirror for a week. If you want to fight, I'll take you on. Out by the swing-set after school. Rules are no elbow biting and no eyebrow pulling. If I'm late, start without me. If I don't show up, I'll let you know who won. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 (edited) I'm a lover, not a fighter, and no I have never been in a fight, too smart for that, albeit it, I kick sand in my own face when at the beach.

Popular Post bkk6060 Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 I was in a lot of fights in my former employment. My feeling is even if you are older, be prepared. Some basic self defense training is essential I think, especially here where parking in a parking space or saying one thing can lead to confrontation. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya420 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I been fighting hard daily training BJJ, super tough, doing it for years. No big street fights. But fighting is my hobby, not to hurt someone or anything like that but to master martial arts, and BJJ is hardest master in my opinion, and it's very effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people did not like getting handcuffed and certainly did not want to go to jail. A guy I used to work had part of his ear ripped off by an unhappy customer.

retarius Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A bit off topic, sorry.....but do you remember the movie, Fight Club with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. It premiered in 1999, 25 years ago and a special edition anniversary relaunch is planned. It is also being streamed on Disney as we speak....a suitable movie for kids? Who knows what is suitable these days...anyway the femme fatale Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) was great in the movie as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grain Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 I been in many punch ups and brawls in my younger days, but I'm in my mid-70s now and as gentle as a lamb. Nose has been broken twice, the 2 smallest fingers on both hands are twisted from being broken by landing badly places punches, plus I have cracks in a couple of ribs. Other than that I've been fortunate that I've never been glassed or badly stomped in bar fights. I learned boxing as a boy at the local youth club, and got to green belt in TKD, which helped me out. I was never a bully or a hooligan that went looking for trouble but if anyone started something then I gleefully jumped in. These days however I just smile and walk away if anyone gives me some lip, I know I no longer have the speed or strength. It makes me laugh whenever I watch those videos of old guys trying to fight and getting knocked flat on their backs in two seconds. I think you silly old fools, don't you realize those days are gone for good. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 When I was younger, I was in a few fights. Won some, lost some. My last fight was with a trained boxer, I was lucky he was drunk. After that, I decided I needed some training myself. I was working in a place which was like the Wild West. I asked a jiu-jutsu champion there to teach me. He taught me a lot about fighting, and pushing through pain. I never had another fight. H also taught me to walk away. I never looked for trouble. Too old nowadays to even think of fighting, although in extremis I do know some of the dirtiest tricks around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlexRich Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 Many times in schools, but gave that up as an adult. Those involved in self defence and close protection try to avoid any confrontation, for good reason. Even if you are defending yourself if you hit or shove someone and they crack their head on the pavement, they could die, and you are in a whole world of trouble. All the self defence training in the world can’t protect you from a knife wound, so although it can help it is no guarantee. I would focus on confrontation avoidance. If a place doesn’t feel right, get away fast. You don’t want to be the toughest guy in the graveyard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree entirely, in TKD every pattern, every move, starts with a defensive move - a block first, followed by a strike, in TKD they never attack first, unless it's in tournaments. But always better to avoid, and if one doesn't feel capable of winning get away. When we were teens we often prevented fights by psyching out someone. One time this big rocker was going to fight our friend Clive, it was getting close to starting, I went stood next to the big Rocker and said to him softly...Jesus mate, you're not going to fight him are you? Watch out for his head, he's fast, and when you're on the ground watch for his boots, he's a nasty bastard. And I saw the doubt come into the big rocker's face, he was having second thoughts. It's over then, beat the guy with the brain (and BS because Clive couldn't fight his way out a wet paper bag) 😄 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty difficult to get in fights in Thailand I find. not necessarily. some people, the only way they can learn to be a decent human being, is through a beating. i don't fight, but sometimes the bouncers in those bars handling idiots with beatings serves its purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) No - I have been a fill in bouncer at a well known North Hollywood CW bar = fortunately mostly unchallenged ..... Although I had to disarm a situation involving a 44 magnum when I just happened to be there, mainly because I was standing behind the guy that he was aiming at across a pool table.....The bullet would have gone through both of us.... One time in Napa I tossed a guy out the front door by his collar & belt that was blindsiding other patrons punching them as their backs were turned - he was picking & choosing who to bully.... I'm not really sure why I ran him & settled the situation, it was just a reactionary experience.....I got an ovation & free drinks for the effort.... Little did the guy know that the woman I was there with was crazier & more dangerous than he could ever be .....She was dynamite in the sack though.....But, she's a story for another time.....
