you think i'm coming with a punch but that's why you don't see my sweet roundhouse kick

I have been knocked out by a real roundhouse kick. First I was looking my squad leader in the face, next I woke up in the backseat of someone else's car 2 miles away. Apparently got knocked out on my feet.

Also punching is fun. Too fun.

Chin down. Just remember that. And tight little jabs will be way more effective than some "swinging for the fences" roundhouse.

Also, if you get punched in the Shnozz for the first time you might lose your mind....Just keep your chin down.

Everybody needs a little Scooter Duck in their lives...
The only fight I ever saw was more of an assault. it came out of no where and the guy punching just jabbed this guy in his face multiple times. I don't know if it was because I was raised by media and I never witnessed something like it before, but it didn't even register what was happening until the victim guy started shouting -- maybe like 5-10 seconds-- at which point me and another person separated the two.
irl unprofessional fighting looks weird imo.

I like to be on time, but often I show up too early, like 35 minutes or more, so I find a side street to sit on my phone and wait for a more appropriate time to go. But then I end up distracted and/or lost and end up late anyway

I like how in TV and movies the fights last for several minutes. Sure; if the two people are extremely well trained. IRL most fights last about 5 seconds. One person hits the other hard, and the the fight is over.

TV and movies have separated the reality and expectation of fighting to such an enormous degree they are barely related. In Hollywood folks get thrown out windows, blasted from planes, punched in the face over and over and they just have a few bruises, even if that.

When in reality you'll be amazed/terrified how fragile you are.

They didn't know I was out. I basically lost about 15 minutes of memory.

The short version is this: When I was in the Army, my best buddy and squad leader, who is a competitive judo fighter and black belt, was teaching my squad plus a few guys some Judo fundamentals. I was (unintentionally) sparring harder than I should have been with the other guys, and it was driving him crazy because it was making it hard for him to teach. He finally snapped on me after like the 5th warning and said; "You want to fight for real? Square up right now."

I knew I was about to get my rear end handed to me, but I didn't anticipate that I wouldn't even see it coming lol. What apparently happened next is he kicked me in the face so hard that I fell flat on my rear end, then bounced up immediately and started cleaning up our sparring area, rolling up mats, etc. Everyone just figured that was a good stopping point and started doing the same, so they helped out-on-my-feet me clean up, and I got in their car. We were nearly back to the barracks when I came to in the back seat and started asking how the gently caress I got there, which took everyone by surprise.

I had about two days worth of nasty migraines from that, definitely got a real TBI. And, strangely, considering that I've been speared in the eye with a guideon (resulting in knockout), hit by a car (knocked out by pavement), blood choked and suffered a couple concussions playing football and using a cast iron post pounder (no knockout, but slight daze), that kick was by far the worst concussion/tbi I have ever endured.

How many real adult fights have you been in? Not asking professional boxers/MMA gals.

One, kind of.

Dude never seemed to like me for some reason, but he was part of my social circle. He had a few too many and started shoving me. I don't drink at all so I just tried to avoid him but at one point I told him to know that poo poo off.

Anyway, he reared back a full-on haymaker and laid me across the jaw. Bruised my face, broke two of his fingers (boxing gloves aren't meant to protect the opponents face so much as they are meant to protect your fingers). I drove him to the ER and we've been good friends ever since.

Edit: not trying to present myself as some badass (couldn't even block a drunken haymaker ffs). I don't even consider myself a boxer, I just train at a boxing gym, so taking punches isn't a new thing to me.

Go for it. Any decent gym will treat a newbie carefully, the fitness benefits are out-of-this-world, and your confidence skyrockets.

Sparring is just a lot of fun, too. You can go as hard or soft as you like (a good gym will match you up to appropriate partners), or not spar at all if you'd rather not.

My neighbor, Ray, punched me in the face when I was like 12 or 13 for being too mouthy.

I deserved it and it was probably one of the most character building experiences of my life until I took mushrooms as a teenager.

I punch fists.

These are the only things which are unrestricted to punch.

If someone wants to touch knuckles gingerly in some kind of more intimate wave, whether a touch or a pat or even a smack,

Give them the business and crak it, bone to bone, dry as parchment.
