So your fault? You instigated the fight?

I aggressively said words at someone who had spent some time prior antagonizing me in my house, and his response was to punch me in the face with a ring, totally loving blasting my face with a bruise.

My response was to gently caress up his face and destroy hundreds of dollars worth of his clothing and call him a loser while I went inside my house to fix myself, while he was jumping around shirtless in the parking lot.

I ended up at a house after the pub with two of the girl who invited me out’s acquaintances the other week, loads of drinking, she was conked out and these two guys were taking the piss, calling me arrogant (correct, I prob didn’t give a gently caress about them at the time), too alpha male (really) and one of them - a mid 40s birthday boy no less, having a problem with my wearing of jogging bottoms like we haven’t just fell out of the local shithole.

I basically had enough and took my phone and wallet out of my pockets and started to take off my coat. Declaring yes in fact I was ready to fight the pair of them right now if this was going to carry on. Oh no they didn’t really want to fight, as it happened. By why lads? If you’re going to talk loving poo poo I’m not going to have it.

So they stopped talking at all and had to listen me blasting jump up drum and bass for the rest of the night.

That’s my recent fight story. I met the girl for a quick pint last Sunday and one of the dudes was in the (different) pub, she said he said he doesn’t remember a thing but I walked past him in the toilets and he loving does lol.

I have been in MANY fights in my life time
I play for keeps
I am trained in Army combatives, some fundamentals of Judo and knife fighting, and a little MMA.
I can take a good punch. Have many times.

So.... probably?

[Edit]: As a general rule I don't like to get to that point these days, it's potentially career and life ending, and it's just not worth it. But if pushed, all things are possible.

I quietly plot, I just got a note from my neighbor beseeching me to reach out to him before emailing his tenants employer about their illegally parked company car again. What he doesn't know is I already got an email from a VP at his home lender saying yes, they very much would like to know that their client took out an owner occupied home loan and immediately rented the house out because I pulled his house note from the county recorder.

I've been fortunate (or unfortunate?) that both times my life was threatened were with handguns, not in a fight for my life. But I WOULD fight that fight, to be certain.

I didn't count the time the cops drew on me after asking for my ID when I was 17, so I guess that's three times I've had guns pointed at me.

Yeah I remember when the Sox won the Series

I've had a knife pulled on me, and had several shoving matches, but no genuine fights with strangers. I used to get drunk and wrestle my friends to the ground when I was in my early/mid twenties, but they eventually gave up fighting back because they never won

ATTN: REAL ADVICE

The first move I will always make in any sort of confrontation or fight is a block. I will block their flailing hook, their angry charge, their raised gun.

The block is the best offense in a fight. If it works, your opponent is now wide open to any kind of counter punch you'd like.

For example: Bar Bro charges with a right hook.

Blocked with a left upper forearm block. Leaving that bro fully open for a counterstrike of whatever I choose. Like a quick jab to the chin or nose.

I'm different. I usually try to crowd the opponent, provided there are no weapons involved (and possible if melee weapons are). Closer you are, the less power your oponent can put into their punches/swings, in most cases. You're not an expert fighter, so you are GOING to get punched. Better to get punched where it just gives you a bruise than a potential knockout where you're open and vulnerable. And since most fights end on the ground, you'll already be in a position to be the one in control as that happens.

Entering a fight with open hands rather than closed fists actually isn't a bad idea a lot of times, either, as you can keep yourself open to grapple, deflect, and still be able to punch if you need to.

After all, ultimately, a fist fight that doesn't end in knockout or serious injury just drags on and on. Your're better off trying to get a leg, and arm, or the neck. Barring that, if you can get on top and start controlling their hands, chest, and head, you've most likely won the fght.

Very true. small guns shoot hard. My snub can be a handful unless shooting wadcutters, for example. But with those, you can just about hipfire and hit, old school FBI style.


But guns are worthless small arms, when you can bring out THE BIG GUNS!

The undisputed world champion of wrestling effortposting
I am fairly large, but my pain tolerance is non-existent and I'm naturally cowardly and hate conflict, so, maybe if I was in animal in a corner desperation I could do a thing or two, but odds are no, I cannot fight.

I once read somewhere that the problem with 'fighting' is that even if you learn martial arts or boxing or MMA, even if you're very good at that sort of thing, that it doesn't really prepare you for 'a fight' because you'd normally use what you'd learned in contests where there's a structure and rules, whereas there's no rules in 'a fight'. Hence, the only way to get good at 'fighting' is the same way you get good at anything else; experience, ie, you get into a lot of fights. The problem is, most people's innate empathy means they resist, on some level, hurting their fellow person, so the kind of people who get 'the fighting experience' are the types who have very poor impulse control and low, if non-existent empathy, and against those sorts, you're basically screwed before you start a lot of the time. The best way for the average person to get into such a headspace, ie force down their empathy so they don't hold back, in ANY way, subconscious or not, is to get drunk or thoroughly whacked on some kind of drug. Which is bad for its own obvious reasons.
