Aaaargh! Sorry, I can’t remember his username and I don’t have search but it was a great series of stories called like “ask me about the time I toured the country punching nazis”. It wasn’t that long ago. If I can find the original thread I’ll post it.

This is me. The original thread is here and my self-published book thread with links to the other stories is here.

My latest thread (with more punching!) is this one.

I was a bouncer and professional fighter for many years and I've trained and coached martial arts for almost 40 years. I've been in a ton of fights in all sorts of hosed up situations and none of it makes me tough, just dumb. Fighting like that makes you stupider than even the internet can. I'm paying for it all now.

It was fun at the time though, I won't deny that.

Hell yeah only a matter of time before this thread turned into GOON KING OF THE RING

The first pro muay Thai fight I ever had was at an event called Ring Kings at a lovely bar in Los Angeles. Won the fight, got hit by a car after coming out of the bar.

Got suckered into fighting in a bare knuckle MMA bout in Moscow one time because my manager was a drunken rear end in a top hat.

Was fighting in an MMA match once in Florida right after I got my black belt in BJJ, and part of the ceiling of the building we were in collapsed into the ring. Had to get stitches from being cut by glass.

Got the poo poo beat out of me on some docks in the Phillipines after the World Kali stick fighting championships.

Got hosed up by a dude while learning Lethwei in Myanmar. There are injury timeouts in Lethwei so if a fighter gets KO'd, their corner has 2 minutes to get the fighter back in before the bout is called. It's the most brutal ring sport I've ever done.

Was in the trunk of a car when it crashed into a barricade.

Been stabbed/cut a couple of times. Shot at more than a few times but luckily never took a bullet.

Tons of concussions, been knocked out in bar brawls.

Have been to the Dog Brothers' Gathering of the Pack multiple times (full contact no protective gear stick fighting) and got smashed in the skull, lacerated thumb, broken ribs.

Been kicked in the head by Wesley Snipes. He hit pretty hard.

Steven Seagal hates me and the feeling is mutual. We can't be in the same room together but we never are anymore anyway.

A lot of my instructors were legit psychopaths and only wanted to hurt someone, their own students included.
