After they turned us into killing machines in the Marines one of the last things they told us before turning us loose out of boot camp was "You are now KILLING MACHINES, now don't go out into town and get into a fight, you will probably get your ass' kicked!"
I kid you not!

Just because you are a BAD ASS, (If you are in fact a bad ass) doesn't mean there aren't equally bad ass' out in town!
be very very very weary about hitting them in the jaw, two people got killed over here last winter because of that
Yea, you're in Iceland...heh...winter.
Brutus: That too, but as you previously mentioned, once you've gone through military training, you're a legal weapon.
Am I the only one that things this is a little starange? I'm not doubting your story, but 8 minute fights just don't happen if the people involved are really trying to hurt each other, in my experience.
Of course maybe you weren't really trying to hurt them, and I can't blame you. Not everyone turns into a pyscho when they fight, but remember that the goal is to hurt them as badly and as quickly as possible before you get hurt yourself. Kicking in weak spots like knees, crotch, face (if you're limber), etc, is a pretty good idea. You said you're in pretty good shape, if you're a big guy it's pretty easy to knock people down, which gives you a huge advantage unless you're fighting a judo master or something.
Maybe it's just my bias because I took TKD for a while, but kicking is something the average person won't do in a street fight. But your legs are a lot more powerful and give you a lot longer reach than your arms, and people don't expect them.
Edit: As someone else pointed out, kicking may not be a good idea unless you have some martial arts training.

Having been in a LOT of fights when I was young my advice is.
#1 Try and avoid them.
#2 Try and reason with them.
#3 And if these fail, to not to receive any permanent damage.
That having been said.
I always liked a good headlock face punch combo
Few people ever got out of one of my headlocks with out receiving some MAJOR discomfort first.
That's cause they didn't know what they were doing
A good punch in a junk (which people have a good angle on if you put them in a headlock) will make almost anyone let go. But hey, whatever works, right?Rainsford:
I'm 6'3", 237 with 16% body fat. (Had Physical Management final last week, so I know specifically)
I think our fight was around 8 minutes because we were there for ten, I tried reasoning with them (2-3 minutes), so the rest was for fighting. so a 7-8 minute fight.
I have thought about a move where if the person pushes at you with his hand, you force his face to knee level, and then you give his mouth a size 14 steel toe boot.

i watched as many catfights as guys fighting in high school so i dunno if that's true. i guess living in georgia added to that. altho that seems to stop as girls age and not as much for guys.
Well sounds like you are a good candidate for knocking people down then
As far as pushing goes, there is the judo way and the TKD school of thought. Again, maybe it's just my bias, but I like the TKD way more. That's where you step to the inside of their push (if they push at you with their right hand, you step to your right) and hit them as hard as you can. If they use two hands, step outside and hit them. Maybe it's not too sporting but damn if people don't expect it.

A boxer told me a three hit combo, tuned for street.
1) Hit him in the temple, makes him dizzy and because of this, won't be flxing stmach muscles
2) bunch in the gut, wind him and he'll probably bend over a bit
3) hopefully, 2 makes him bend over 90 degrees and you put your fists together and smash him to the ground
.. on to the next punk
Heh. Real concert in Northbrook? Come on!
Google Northbrook, IL, 60062. It's a town of about 35k of upper middle class.
I've thought about brass knuckles too, but they're illegal here, and if anyone sees me fighting with a pair, I'll be snitched on in a matter of seconds.....and somehow arrested.
