Anyone here ever get into a fight?

[dbk]

Not since I was like 9 (dude kicked me in the balls). I generally grew up avoiding physical confrontation..yeah I was a pussy like that.. Can't remember if it was ever worth it to "knuckle up" or "throw down"..."take it outside".. so on and so on.

Most will stay they have been in fights, most have mostly been in shoving matches or some rolling around on the ground.

Never did, close calls maybe, but never did. I did have bullies though, elementary was probably the worst, but it was not really physical abuse it was verbal abuse. This one guy in particular would always mouth me off and stuff. I kind of regret not punching him square in the nose, but guess it was not meant to be. I was never a big guy, even now I'm not, so I'd avoid any kind of physical confrontations. I could run really fast, that potentially saved my ass a few times.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I did get into a single fight once.

I was 60 pounds heavier than the kid who instigated it and promptly put him down. He deserved it.

I've been forced to hurt some feelings before.



It happens.

lol. I've forgotten more fights than you've been in. Spent over a year on a gladiator farm aka prison where fights were the entertainment. So yeah some have been in fights and others pretend they have been.

lol at a prison being a gladiator farm.

Anyhoo, it's nice you can assume you have been in more fights than me...I am not going to even count wrestling, martial art competitions I was actively in for many years, nor me and some friends practicing which is most of what you are referring to.

You can believe what you want.

ehh, never escalated to an all out fist fight, I was fencing a pompous ass for awhile fairly regularly and this kid would always make disparaging observations offhandedly about me, eventually i told him to shut the fuck up unless it was going to be constructive criticism. He didn't take to kindly to that and so we had a particularly violent fencing bout that ended with both of us very bruised and a bit bloody, but it wasn't an actual fist fight and we were still adhering (loosely) to the foil rules. That was about a year ago and nothing really since then.

If the fights in 1st grade with the class bully don't count, and sparring matches in TKD/tournaments don't count, then no, no fights. I was sucker punched once in middle school, and a school bully beat the crap out of the kid who sucker punched me. And, I was sucker punched in a bar & proceeded to scare the crap out of the drunk & put him in a position (without striking a single blow) where he knew not to mess around with me.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Two. Won one and sort of forfeited the other.

We had these kids in our school called the Trainers. You had Billy, Mile and Tony. Tony was the oldest. If he didn't like you he would talk to you in a really calm way. Then from behind Mike would hit you over the head with a 2 by 4 board! Then Billy who was the youngest would jump on you and kick you in the head. Finally, all 3 would finish you off!

They were feared in school!

Sadly, two are in jail.

People who regularly get into fights past high school and/or during are typically losers. /TMYK :awe:

My muscles are starting to ache, and my blood is starting to boil!

Knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti.

 

[SlickSnake]

I've never gotten into a fight, because I was always scared of getting hurt. I've always wondered what it is like to go toe to toe with someone. I've been watching fight videos on You Tube all night! Fighting doesn't look too bad!

My muscles are starting to ache, and my blood is starting to boil!

I wanna fight!

But, I will probably go to bed soon.

I got one word for you: PUSSY!

 

[IronWing]

Yes, in middle school. We looked like Lenny and Squiggy.

 

[Remobz]

I got in many fights but because I had no choice due to bullies. I always small and skinny back then so bullies would take advantage of that. Got my butt kicked so hard its not funny (I never backed down) but after awhile I became good friends with them all over time....lol!

Back in Europe fighting was just part of life? I fought at least 10 times prior to age 12.

In US, I've been in at least 10 fights through high school.

I haven't been in a fight since, but lately I've really been wanting to just beat the shit out of someone.

I also need a good asswhopping as well. I think every man does from time to time to keep their ass straight.

[JM Aggie08]

Nah. I was always much larger than the other kids, which transferred into adulthood.

The closest I've been to being in a fight was shoving some punk to the ground after he swung at me. Apparently he didn't like my asking of him to stop angrily shaking his girlfriend. He was promptly removed from the bar after that.

 

[KeithTalent]

Not since I was a kid and even then it was maybe twice at most. I did take some boxing classes, but I never really got into sparring or anything.

Go to a bar. Pick the biggest meanest looking guy in there and start trouble.

One catch though; it has to be a lesbian bar.

 

[z1ggy]

One street fight.

Countless sparring and rolling sessions in a controlled, professional environment.

 

[SlickSnake]

I will relate this little tale, just to wet your insatiable appetites for senseless violence. Once when I was about 15, one of the neighborhood bullies, who fought in Golden Gloves and even won before and was taller than me and almost twice my weight, started a fight with me and a couple of friends. He was trying to control the neighbor hood pool and tennis courts and who could use it, like he always did, which happened to be next to his parents townhouse.

Well, he came out with a baseball bat and started swinging it at us, and he made the sorry mistake of hitting me on the leg. I started screaming at him, and he sent me into an uncontrolled rage, and I reached over and grabbed a 6 foot fence picket off the fence that was somewhat loose and knocked him over the head with it, and started pummeling him with it until it broke, and he dropped the bat and he went running inside to get his dad, who was a lot larger than he was.

When his dad first came out, he was pretty mad until he saw we were all half as big as his son was. He then turned on his whiney son, still holding his head where I hit him, and then hit him on the back of the head and asked him WTH he was doing attacking us, and why wasn't he able to take care of himself against us in the first place. He grabbed him by the arm, and made him apologize to us.

After that, we became good friends for years until we finally sold the townhouse and moved away.

And I found out later that one of my ancestors was a carnival attraction who used to be the strong man who would fight anyone who challenged him for a fight, for cash, and he never lost a fight. And my grandpa was also a boxer for many years who won a lot of his fights with a knockout. So the next time you challenege that scrawny guy at a bar just for kicks, just remember he may be able to defend himself and knock you out for your stupidity. Because for some people, fighting and self defense is just in their genes.

Many. Growing up on the LES in Manhattan during the 70s and going to public school, you couldnt avoid it. Lots of bullies and shit. I did rather well. Never lost a fight, many draws and I did get my nose broke once but the other guy got 3 broke ribs in return. I havent had a full out fight since the late 80s tho, in HS. Shit got much real then, with guns and knives and such.

 

[monkeydelmagico]

yes. next question
