    We talk about movie fights and theoretical fights all the time, but what about real fights? I have to say I have only been in a few scuffles in my lifetime (largely due to the fact that I am large and scary looking :) ) and that they were over stupid things. How many fights have you been in? Were they over your girlfriend sophomore year, or did that son of a b**** Billy McCalister steal your Oreos in 2nd grade? Any exciting fights? Please share.......................

    My old best friend and I used to get in physical fights all of the time back in elementary school, usually it involved him cheating at wall ball...

    1 time we got into a nasty fight over a game of Sorry...

    That game is so evil...

    BTW I went many years without playing that game after the altercation, it was just one of those games we couldn't handle playing...

    Maybe if more of you got in fights in the street, your gayness scores wouldn't be so high. :)

    Really - want a girl fight story? I've been in one major fight that I can think of. In seventh grade this girl kept coming up to me, hitting me, and daring me to hit her back. At first I just refused - turn the other cheek and all - but it was getting annoying. (This was back before I became athletic, and I wasn't sure what my chances would be in the fight.) I went home and my dad taught me a few moves.

    Next morning, everyone is hanging around outside on the steps waiting to be let into school. As soon as I get out of the car, she comes up to me and tries to start the fight. This time, I grabbed her bangs with one hand, put my other hand on her collarbone, and pushed her backwards and eventually down onto the grass. She was freaking out. I was supposed to hold her down then and beat her up until she agreed to leave me alone, but she managed to get away. She tried to push me down the steps but I just landed on another step. And she was yelling at me to leave her alone - that's the exact thing I was supposed to be saying to her! Then she gave up.

    Everyone saw the whole thing and knew she had started it. Gave them something to gossip about. I was worried about running into her in class, but she didn't stay at school that day. The rumor was that she had checked out claiming to be sick; she might have gotten hurt, but probably knew not to tell the principal or they would end up finding out that she started the fight. Needless to say no one ever messed with me again. :)

    The weird thing was - this chick, even though obviously screwed up, was more "popular" than I. She had issues. We managed not to get in any more fights over the next few years, except for verbal debates over politics and social issues in history class. Last I heard, she had left town and was pregnant as a teenager.

    I'm a really really bad fighter. I should take classes or something.

    I'm lucky I look kinda mean or I would get my ass handed to me.

    Funny I "almost" get into fights all the time when I'm playing ball because I don't back down to anyone. One time me and this huge(6' 6" maybe? really tall) buff black dude were mouthing off and my friends were just like "uh, you're on your own man." lol.

    Oh and the fights I've been in .. eh, either I get lucky and land my first punch then get on top of em before they pull us apart or it's reversed. Usually the other dude gets in the sucker-punch first. :)

    btw, I think guys look really stupid when they start puffing out their chests. Supposed to intimidate me or something? Makes me want to laugh really.

    I remember on about the third or fourth day of High School, I got into a big fight with these two guys (one quite large, and the other tall and skinny). Anyway, we were having quite a scuffle when a teacher came and broke it up. Those two guys became my two best friends after that. It's weird how I became best friends with two kids I hated so much.
    But that was before I started Taekwon-do. Even with my training, I'd still be rather talk my way out of a situation that fighting.

    I have been in 4 major fights and I am glad to say that I have never lost. ALthough watching two guys who have no clue about fighting is pretty funny.

    The funniest fight I ever got in was with some kid that always wanted to fight people. He just came up to me and asked if I wanted to fight, I said no, so he hit me. I backed up and he charged me, but he charged right into my fist, he staggered back and tried to tackle me so I just swung him into a wall, it was over after that. WHat was so funny is that I was a lot bigger than he was and he wanted to take me on?????? I dont know. I have never got that about people, they always go after bigger people when they are looking for a fight

    the one time I was glad i walked away was when some basketball player/ape wanted to take me on after our team had just beat theirs. he was like " do you want to F****** go man do you want to go, I was like, "no" then I hear my best freind yell. " I'll go and just blindsides this kid. the guy winds up beating up my best freind pretty bad as I try and seperate them. that guy was flat out TUFF, he rode bare back and calf wrestled. I knew I should even be talking to him. Too bad Jeff didnt, I sure miss him:D

    Nowadays, I dont even see the point, after 5 years of Taekwon-do I know I can defend myself and rarely feel threatend by people. I hope to never get in a fight again.

    What a coincidence. I got in a "fight" last Saturday.

    Me, my friend, and his girlfriend were at Wal-Mart. We were ****ing around with some cameras when this little guy comes out of nowhere(keep in mind, my friend isn't huge, but he was considerably bigger than this guy). He's holding his girlfriend's hand and the little guy has the nerve to start throwing game to her. They start talking **** to each other, but the little guy's friends come and talk him out of fighting my friend(looks like they were smart).

    So anyway, we decide that it would be best for me to pull up the car and let them get in quick just in case the guys are waiting outside... I get outside and sure enough there they are.

    "Where's your homeboy? Is he gonna fight me?" the guy asked. I then go on to tell him how he's either drunk or stupid because my friend would kick his ass. So then the guy asks if I want to fight him!

    MORE BACKGROUND: I'm 5'8" not tall, but considerably taller than said punk. The kicker though, is that I weigh a solid 185 pounds (and was even wearing a tight shirt that showed off my build ;)) while this guy was about 5'3" MAYBE 130.

    So naturally, I accepted his challenge, went inside and handed my friend the keys just in case I went to jail, and came back outside.

    He takes some half-r****ded perversion of a boxing stance and tells me to "put those thangs up." I tell him to hit me, and he swings and misses.

    The rest of the "fight" consisted of me moving in on him only to have him jump backwards at every advance I made. After a minute or so, this guy gets out of his car and breaks it up. While he's between us, the little b*stard sucker punches me in the eyebrow and runs to his car screaming something about how he owns this town and how he's gonna remember my face.

    p***y.

    I got in a cool fight one time in the seventh grade with this big fat kid. He was trying to swing at me while his grandma was holding us apart, he punched me over her sholder, then I got away from here and threw him down and started punching him in the back of the head and neck. Bet that stung.

    Besides that I haven't fought with anyone besides my brother, nothing major. One time he broke a broom over my thigh, that left a big a$$ bruise.

    Been in so many close calls though. Mostly hoops related. One time I was out in Kingwood playing ball, just me and my boy. There was about 10-12 asian guys there that we didn't know. After all the trash talking I thought we were going to get jumped. No luck though. :)

    I would like to try that sometime though, be outnumbered 4-1 or 5-1 and see how long I could last, Fight Club rules!

    Ya gotta love the glorification of violence.

    I of Course am above that kind of thing... umm so I will just um tell you about stuff that happened to other people ;) and then follow it up with a lecture on how the only people you are hurting are yourselves.

    Me, only 1 real fight.
    I say that because if it happened before you were an adult, than it isn’t really much of a fight. and just exchanging a couple of punches dont count either. There has to be real high drama and the real chance or certainty of someone getting hurt to count in my books.
    Almost A$$ whoopins... too many to count.

    I have this problem, I love women just a bit too much. I think that that is not actually the problem. The problem is that I don’t see boyfriends as an obstacle, and women with boyfriends REALLY like me.

    Strangely the one real fight I got into was at a party, and had nothing to do with any woman per see. The kid was just being very rude and annoying. He was talking crap to all the girls at the party, and trying to start with all the guys. He also wasn’t invited, and I guess it was just time for someone to act. Now mind you I was wasted, and stoned. Something I basically never do. Then again jumping off the porch on top of a kid is something I normally don’t do either. It must have been a full moon. Well I beat the kid pretty good. I had tooth marks all over my knuckles the next morning. I was told I held him up against a wood pile and proceeded to punch him in the head repeatedly. That’s pretty scary cuz I don’t see myself as that kind of guy. anyway I guess I also kept stopping when people tried to pull me off, and I played all nice just long enough to attack the kid again. I was apparently out of control that night, but I hear the kid really deserved what he got.
    very foggy night, so my story lacks actuall detail :p drinky drinky smokey bad

    Anyone here ever been at a bar when a cat fight happens in the ladies room. That’s funny.

    Ever been in a bar, party, or at say homecoming 1993 at University of Rhode Island when in a crowd of about 40,000 a fight breaks out right in front of you that spreads into a riot type situation. In which say 70 people are arrested?? THAT IS FREKIN SCARY. Luckily I wasn’t hit.

    I don’t get into fights much because I am an Ex rugby player that is 6'1" 190-210 (depending on my fitness ;)) and shave my head. For some reason this makes people think. But just long enough for me to talk my way out of it.

    I call it using logic and mass :)

    I am aggressive in sports, but otherwise I am a complete wussy


    So please don’t hit me
    PEACE

    Dude, I'm 6'1, 200 fit and trim, currently 215. Ex-football player/ex-discus thrower/ex-football-basketball coach. I don't shave my head, but I keep it tight on the side and short on top.
    I don't know where I'm going wih this...I guess I'm just trying to say we probably have similar builds...

    I've been in a couple of one sided fights with other people. Thank God my big brother used to beat me like a red headed stepchild. Taught me how to fight and toughened me up good.
    He always whooped me, but he's never had to defend me (except that one time in 5th grade).

    I've been in one life threatening fight, and a "one hitter".

    The scary one happened when I was 19, driving home alone late after a night out with my then girlfriend. I'm in my cool '84 'Stang, and this idiot is riding my tail with his brights for the longest time. I pull to the shoulder to let him pass and he stays behind me. Now I'm starting to get pissed, so being in the stang, I gun it and pull away, but he matches me...damn IROC's. Well, I get REAL smart and decide to pull over to find out this guys problem. Mind you, this is not in the middle of a city where there are plenty of people around. This is in the Rio Grande Valley, and what is there between cities??? NOTHING!!! Well, I get out, and he staggers out (I think he was drunk) and I ask him what's his "f"ing problem? Well, he's comes at me while fumbling for something in his pocket and I'm like "AHhhhh Shiz nit" I really didn't want him to get whatever he had in his pocket out, so I shoulder tackled his ass good and it turned into a ground scuffle. I got some separation between us and popped his face quite a few times until he literally gave up. When I got off him, I saw that he had dropped what was in his pocket..a buck knife. Little pecker wanted to stick me! Well, I picked up the knife and popped all his tires with it and threw the knife in the monte. To this day, I don't know what his problem was...Scary ****, especially after I saw the knife...

    The one hitter was actually kind of funny.
    I dropped same girlfriend off for work at the mall. I walked her into the store and left. As I was getting to the parking lot, some guy started talking to me in spanish. He said my gf was pretty, I said thanx. He asked where she worked. I said don't worry about it. He asked what her name was, and I asked of course "What's your problem"
    He posted up on me like he wanted some, so I popped him square in the nose...Opened him up like a faucet...He went down, and I walked off. I didn't want to deal with security.

    I'm ususally a very calm type personality person and I don't condone violence at all. I was lucky that my loved ones or I didn't get hurt.

    I don't think I've been in a fight since 3rd grade...I've just never felt the need. I do feel sorry for the first person who pisses me off enough for me to actually take the steps to kick their ass.

    Been in 3-4 fights or altercations, always on the basketball court. 2 were in High School, one was in Junior College, one was in a gym playing pickup.

    I have never taken a punch, however. Thank God for my cat-like reflexes, or I could have been Brad Millered.

    Anyway, they were always broken up fairly quickly. It's been a long time since one has happened, because I am a pretty mellow guy. It has always taken a lot to get me THAT mad.

    Anyway, I am not sure if I am a competent fighter or not. That's why I bring my nine millimeter to the courts.

    KIDDING.

    I used to get in fights all the time as a young kid in my neighborhood. Some I lost....some I won. None were really that memorable...usually it was put on like a big event where all our friends would gather around. Then, I would punch a guy in the neck and he would start balling and go home. And, that was that.
    I recall giving this one friend of mine a hard time about anything saying "yeah...you wanna fight about it" after every disagreement(like kids do). Then, one day he flipped his lid as he could take no more and broke out a broom stick trying to kick my ass with it. It was broken up but I drove him crazy with that stuff(obviously)so I kind of cooled it after that. It's just one of those stupid things kids do....threaten each other over stupid stuff. These were all fights before 5th grade. I was always either getting punches thrown at me or throwing a punch at someone else for whatever reason. One time....one of my older friends got me in a headlock and was choking me in intermediate school halls...thought it was funny. As soon as he let up, I turned around and popped him hard with a neck shot. It must have hurt him cause he got really mad(as if I wasn't mad already) and popped me in the stomach and I lost my wind. He was being a jerk-off...I didn't care who it was as what he was doing wasn't cool. He was alot bigger than I was but I don't care. He got me good but I got him good :). On other occassions, I would always get hit by a bigger kid for smarting off at him.

    Best fight I ever saw was one of my stoner friends going against one of my jock friends. See...I was a stoner jock so I was in and out of both crowds. Anyways, this jock guy was big and could bench press alot and .... yada yada yada. The stoner guy wasn't so big but he was tough. They met by the school buses and a crowd gathered. I was right there and the jock guy says "Look man I don't want to fight you"(i.e. he was chickening out). The stoner guy then turned a bit and then threw a hard punch at his face and got him in a head lock. Pounded his face in a head lock...that jock was so bloody...his face was ripped up bad. Finally, stoner guy let him go and he was all messed up. Funny thing was the jock guy was in the weight room with the whole football team rooting for him right before that fight and everyone was chanting his name(aka Rocky) before the fight. He got whipped bad....didn't even get a punch in.

    In later years, I had a couple close calls but I didn't fight as the stuff being argued over was stupid and not worth it. I've seen a lot of good fights but people in fights have to do whatever they can including eye gouging. Is it really worth losing your eyes or eyesight over a stupid fight? People never fight fair.
