I'm bored and forum-activity appears to be on a downward trajectory. So..

Scenario: some dude just slid his hands inside your woman's pants in a crowded club/bar. You are extremely furious with rage and it has come down to a fight in an underground parking lot.

Your enemy is a 6'2" former College Football player. He's about thirty, hasn't had anything to drink all night and doesn't possess any martial arts/police/military training. But his demeanor and chipped incisors suggest that this is not his first fight; so he likely has some real-world experience as a bar-brawler. Both of you are unarmed.

Fight ends when one man is lying on the floor, pretty close to passing out, waiting for someone to haul his ass to the hospital. It'd be best if you could do this without leaving any broken bones or heavy loss of blood. The idea is just to knock him out, not leave any witnesses and get the hell out of there without causing a major scene.

Could you take him down?

Unless I had a piece or a machete or something I'd get my ass beat.

Haha, same here. I like to think I'm kinda fast and agile but it's really pointless when your punches and kicks don't carry any weight.

I'd need a melee weapon to guarantee survival.

Kick to the crotch, jab to the throat....fight over.

First rule about street fights is that there aren't any rules.

Edit: punctuation.

I'm that height and I was a swimmer in High school. If he was in piss poor shape and hasn't worked out since college I might be able to take him without too much trouble. Otherwise I'm sure I'd get hurt pretty bad. I imagine I might be able to win just because of fighting dirty, but I honestly wouldn't want to fight. I'd prefer to stay out of the hospital.

Need to have the option of more than one in the last poal.
I'm 6-1 and (sigh) well over 250 lbs nowadays. Wasn't long ago I wouldn't have had any problem with the scenario given, but now, I'm old and busted up badly enough that if I were forced into such a situation, if I didn't have some weaponage, I'd probably have to take my licks...but I'd still do my best to let the son-of-a-bitch know I'd been there...

I spent years in both wrestling and martial arts. but i am not a fool.

there is no way i would fight the guy. i wouldnt put myself in that situation.
now if the guy does "traps" me and insist on a fight and i hav eno choice while i very much doubt i would win. i would do my best but i would have not trouble useing any weapon i have handy.

I studied Tae Kwon Do for 2-1/2 years and under a different sensei for two years, a mix of karate (different disciplines) kung fu, thai boxing, boxing, judo and a couple other forms...he just called it "self-protection." His theory was that IF you HAD to fight, (and ONLY if you had to and couldn't avoid it) then you hit your opponent a maximum of 5 times...twice while he was standing, once as he was on the way down, and twice more while he was on the ground.../fight.
That served me well in my youth...and in the Marine Corps as well.

I'm not going to "fight fair" if it's me or them.

I have been in a few fights, some good some bad. One good punch to my nose and I am pretty much done, though. Too old for that crap now.

If someone put their hands in my wife's pants I wouldn't be waiting until the parking lot to start swinging. I might get my ass kicked, but I guarantee I'd make him pay.
