Never been in a real fight. There were a few times where I got hit/hit the other guy back and we both just kind of chilled out after that. I never start them, I prefer to just let the other guy be an idiot unless he touches me.
The closest I've ever been was in middle school. There was this crazy ass kid I hung out with who had some anger issues. One day I accidentally tapped him on the chin with my knuckle. Didn't even realize that I did it, but he started trying to punch me. I thought he was playing around so I just brushed aside all of his attempts until he put a little more force into one that landed. After that I rammed him into the wall, backed off, thought about it for a second, and just walked off.
Stopped hanging out with him after that. He was the type of kid who never let shit go. If I fought him, had he won or not he would bring his other friends into it, he always did. Not to mention I knew for a fact he would have no problem bringing a knife into the situation.

Lol.
The original kid I told to STFU decided to film it because he thought it was going to go a bit differently I guess. His mom saw it when she got home and turned it in.

I went to school in the ghetto so fighting was a requirement. I had a couple interesting encounters there. one that really sticks out.
I was in Wood Shop class, the teacher wasn't there and aside from 1 other student nobody. Her BF has just been in to see her and left. On his way out he called her his Jaina, which is Mexican slang for woman. I had joked back and forth with her a few times, I didn't think she disliked me. Well, I decided to call her a Hyena (as a joke) she got MAD, proceeded to jump on my back and wrap a 2x4 she had in her hand across my chest and start to choke me out. She was a good sized chick, maybe 5'7 165lbs. She had the hold locked GOOD. I wasn't able to breath and since she basically weighed more than me I was sort of assed out. Even in a situation like this I don't believe in fighting a girl, and even if I wasn't against fighting a girl who was trying to beat your ass. The Mexican dudes in my school would have beat me to death for punching on of their homegirls lol.
Basically I ended up moving backwards and smashing her against the wall until she left go and fell. I was coughing and could hardly breath. I turned around and she was up to her feet already, standing there with the 2x4 still in her hand, looking like she was going to start swinging at it. We were in the back of the room and there was no way I was getting by her, so I put my fists up prepared to save my ass. She let go with a few swings, 1 missed a couple hit my forearms. She tee'ed off one last time and caught me in the shoulder. I don't have a clear memory outside of trying not to get killed, but I think I took a few swings at her out of fear. Her man came back, and saw was happening. I thought he was going to stomp me, but he laughed and said something in Spanish, all I could understand was Rojo (red cos I have red hair) and he told her to chill out and quit fucking me up. I think he saw most of it, I wasn't looking at the door so he was probably there from the jump. I had a couple nice bruises on my shoulder and my forearms hurt like hell for a few days.
Yeah I got fucked up by a female lol...

I was on the playground in first grade and routinely got picked on by a group of kids that all grew up on the same street together. Well, I had put my bag down before school and ran off to the swingset and basketball courts and these kids started to harass me. They grabbed my attention by picking up my bag tossing it around among themselves. Now this is a story all about how my life got twisted upside down and id like to take a minute just sit right there ill tell you how i became the prince of a town called Bel-Air. In west Philadelphia born and raised on the playground is where i spent most of my days chilling out, maxing and relaxing all cool and all shooting some b-ball outside of school. when a couple of guys they were up to no good, started making trouble in our neighborhood i got in one little fight and my mom got scared she said your moving in with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air
i whisted for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had dice in the mirror if anything i could say that this cab was weird but i thought nah, forget it yo home to bel-air! i-pulled- up to a house about seven or eight i yelled to the cabbie yo home, smell you later looked at my kingdom i was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air

Nothing really in the last 10 years.
From about 16 to 26 though it was pretty regular. I hung out in places that would warrant it as well as not just being a freaking pussy and letting people walk all over me or others. Now that I am married I don't find myself in these kinds of situations so much. Booze+a hot chick that you are probably getting + dudes that want her too will usually cause most fights.
Most didn't need to go to blows...in any fight both usually pay for it unless one is just a dumbass that should have just backed down at the start.
Today though it's turning out more and more a fight is really you vs him + all his homies + watching your back as they hunt you down.
Too many gangs out there now. Even back in 1990 or so, I got into a few mishaps with gang members. Fortunately the 'gangs' that found me didn't see a freaking chick in one case, nor a lunchroom table in another as worthwhile bringing law enforcement into the mix. My parents were threatened in the process one time and in another Palm Beach County SWAT had to be called to a place I no longer worked.
I have found throwing someone usually is enough to end them wanting to come back for you. Once I threw someone over the wall outside of the Figment ride at Disney (high school), over / through a fence at a mini-golf place (high school) and in college saw the guy that threatened my parents on a bridge by the beach on night...just stopped my car ran up to the dude and as he tried to hit me just threw his ass over...about 15-20' I think...didn't see him come after me again.
I still have gotten into altercations...none have gone to more than maybe a shove. I am not sure how I'd do in a full out fight now at 37.

I have some professional training and grew up going to a really bad ghetto middle school and high school until 11th grade. I've been in plenty - mostly before I was 18. Once you hit about 18 (or probably 15 nowadays as big as kids are) you are able to do some SERIOUS bodily harm. I have no problem fighting with someone and wouldn't hesitate for the right reason, but personally I prefer pepper spray. Most of the people with big mouths that 'watch UFC' or look like they work out go down quick from inexperience with fighting. It's the little quiet psycho's that you have to worry about.

Here's a song to go along with this thread. Attitude Adjustment
I've always been lucky I suppose. In many bars/clubs I always had someone there that always got me out of situations rather quickly. No friends mind you, just people I met that same night.
I remember a bouncer at a club that weighed about 80lbs more than me and stood 6'5 (I weighed about 190lbs/6ft at the time and still do) and I pulled his hat down over his eyes just joking around I swear!....... He grabbed me with both hands by my shirt, lifted me and bashed me against a wall like a fly!
My wife and I were playing pool with another couple earlier that night and I suppose they saw what happened and the big American Indian guy broke it up and saved my scalp :laugh:

I haven't been in any sort of fight since I was a little kid. I doubt I'd do very well unless the other guy was as inexperienced as me. Part of me wouldn't mind getting in a few fights just to see what I'm made of, but the possibility of weapons and/or legal repercussions certainly outweigh whatever desire I have to seek something like that out.
