Actually I think I could win most fights now that I think about it.

I wear glasses, and I have heard it said many times that you can't hit man with glasses, so boom, I win.

Unless the other guy has glasses too. Then we play Warhammer, I guess.

I'll avoid fighting if I can.

If it can not be avoided I will do whatever it takes to win. I will boot nuts and stomp them in to paste if I have to. I will gouge out your eyes. If any part of your body comes close enough I will bite it off. Fingers fingats, nose, ears whatever. I will eat your face.

I always wondered where you had to register hands, is there something like a DMV

Sort of. When I was practising Tae Guk as a teen they made me get a licence before I took a grading for a coloured belt. A lot of martial arts clubs do this but I don't think it's required by law. Most martial arts organisations will ban members who start streetfights and that includes boxing gyms. Pulling someones licence is telling them 'you are not going to be graded so there is no point training anymore, get out.'

Google 'martial arts licence' and you'll find a lot of stuff specific to the UK. Not sure about other countries.

Of course. I know the top two techniques. 1. Break the wrist, walk away. And if that doesn't work 2. Pocket Sand and run away.

Yeah. Also, a good instructor will teach you situational awareness so you're less likely to find yourself in a bad predicament to begin with. And I mean awareness both before and during an encounter.

I’d say probably not, but I also have no qualms about fighting dirty, so when the other dude squares up and tries to fight like a real man, my only hope is to kick them in the balls as hard as I can.

Rumbles are practically second nature to me, since I've watched so many :grin:

just don't get thrown over the top rope and you're golden, at least until it's just you and a few (other) main eventers, at which point there are no guarantees

For the best (and I mean worst) names for techniques, look no further than Kenpo Karate. Kenpo is fun and a good way to learn basic principles and body mechanics (provided you have a good teacher), but it's also very dumb. I got my first black belt in it when I was a young lad. Here's a sampling of technique names and a couple of goofy rear end videos from what looks like a lovely instructor:

Scraping Hoof
Striking Serpent’s Head
Cross of Destruction
Gift in Return
Menacing Twirl
Heavenly Ascent
Thrust into Darkness
Fatal Deviation
Reprimanding the Bears

I have a black belt in BJJ. The other arts I enjoy and teach don't have belts, but have titles for instructors. I'm an Ajarn in muay Thai, Lakan Guro in Kali, and Pembantu Guru in Silat.

I've never been in a real fight but have recieved two black eyes from being sucker punched.

If I was inna real fight I would be too stupid to back off until it was too late and far too slow and weak to actually land a good hit. My preplanned go to move is a headbutt followed by waking up in the hospital after knocking myself out on the other person's face.
