help? (fighting, and then NEVER EVER EVER POSTING ABOUT IT AGAIN)

That wouldn’t have been a fellow poster would it?

 

Nah, just some dude from the neighborhood. That was our first fight though, we fought at least one more time maybe more, I was always fighting. What made you think it was a board member?

 

Like its been said before, dont fight unless you have no other choice. Also dont let him get close enough to hit you. Also keep your center line away from him too. Thats your nose, wind pipe, solarplex and nuts. If he swings and misses, thats your small window of opportunity to counter. If your not too confident in your ability to defend yourself then try to avoid it all together.

 

This thread is bloody brilliant.

To echo the words of others on this thread and other religious polymics: don't fight. Be a man and try to settle it without violence.

That said ...

Should your opponent decide to jump you from behind after you two shake hands and call a truce, never forget your pointy friends:

Elbows. Bows. You'll give yourself a hell of a bruise, but nail the guy around his eyebrow. Thin skin in that area, so he'll start to bleed right away, the blood will get into his eyes ... you can move on from there.

If you miss with the elbow to the head, nothing beats the clinch and throw down. Just try to pin him down and wait for the crowd to seperate you two.

Also, I've been deceived many a time with the head-butt. If he has a substantial nose, as I do, he won't be the same. Nail the cartilige and watch the blood flow. A busted nose doesn't hurt much, but it does a quite a bit to your balance.

Taking two minutes to write and proof-read a post in this thread, on a Saturday night, I cannot believe what my life has come to ...

 

I'm 6'0 310....have been in 6 fights as an adult and won 3 lost 3.....

I'm with the majority here, when I say this is something you might not want to go through.

No one here will think less of you if you don't fight.

If you have to fight...hit him in soft areas (groin, jaw, whatever) with things that are hard (knees, elbows) no bonus points for style, you have to get through this. And that is all that matters, escaping the fight entirely is the best option....and if it makes you look like a wuss, who cares....real men don't fight....unless they have to.

To quote Al Davis...just win baby!

 

This guy really needs to make a second appearance in this thread; I mean he may very well get his ass kicked on Monday but he can still hold his head high because he's started one of the best threads I've seen here in long time. This is on par with some of the LHUTZ threads, really. Kudos to you my man, kudos to you

 

Well, seeing that the other pacifist response came from my Dutch colleague here on the board, I will say that the Dutch and the Germans have a history of fighting each other on the soccer field quite a bit...it's a special rivalry.

Also, when I was in school, I used to be in a lot of fights. But I think it is somewhat different in the US, that's why I asked how old he is...I mean, it's crazy, kids have guns over there, our fights were what they were - just some kids wrestling and punching on the schoolyard, nothing serious, really (even though I lost a bit of a tooth once because I was dumb enough to fight against a guy who was 8 years older than me...).

 

I fought all the time in high school and have seen a few street fights up close. I got suspended for a week in 11 th grade and kicked out of the 12th grade all together. My dad had to send me to private school.

There are several good advices here from Gene Peterson, Major Malcontent ... while others might not have the real experience of a street fight ....

First, you don't want to get in a fight.
Even if you win, you will be watching your back for a long time afterward, it's no fun.
Maybe you can win a fist fight, but you don't know if the other guy may come back at you with some kind of weapons.

Try to get out of that fight. Don't show up ... People might laugh at you for a little while but it will pass. They will laugh and even look down on you if you fight and get the cra* beat out of you like that white kid against the black kid.

Or you can face him, even take a couple of swings, then back off and say you don't want to fight or have your friends stop the fight.

But if you can't get out of it at all, watch that tape. That is a real fight. Learn from the mistakes that was made.

The 1st one is not to wear a sweat shirt where he can pull it up to cover your eyes and hit you blind.

2nd, the white kid started to swing 1st and tried to catch the black kid off guard. There are 2 things to learn here: be prepare, if that 1st swing landed, that white kid might have had a chance. Don't leave your face open when you are mouthing off before the fight, you might get hit in the face right away. It will go down hill from there.

On the other hand don't bank on the 1st couple swings alone. The white kid swung wildly, missed, and he did not swing again. I've seen it many times. It is typically of people who are not used to fighting.

When you are in a fight, the adrenaline will be flowing, your blood boiling. You can not see anything, even things in front of your face, (it is worse if you get hit in the face once). For sure you can not see around you (if a friend of the other guy comes at you from behind, you will not see him). You don't have full control of your arms and legs. They feel like lead, it's hard to even lift your arm to punch. It's for sure not easy to try to aim precisely at the other guy's eyes, throat, nuts ... (But if you can, go for them. Don't be afraid of fighting dirty).

In real situation though, all you can do is to swing toward him and hopely land somewhere. At the same time, try to not leave yourself wide open for a counter punch.

If you are taller and has more reach, (assuming you are right handed), jab at his face with your left and back off. Jab and back off. Be prepared, shorter guy always charges and bear hugs you and tries to take you to the ground. Have your right ready for an upper cut when he charges, or if he gets close, use elbows, knees, hit him and back off.

If you get hit in the face, back off several feet. Don't stay close while you can't see. It's when you allow him to hit you some more. If you get knocked down, and he is on top of you, get the hell away from the guy. Don't just lay there and cover your face and allow him to beat up on you. Roll, scramble, crawl ... get up and run away from the guy. Get 10 ft away, clear your head and eyes, make sure you can see before you face him again.

Then get your friends to stop the fight.

 

I havent been in a fight before, i mean as a little kid but nothing serious, from what i have seen at my school, might not be true at your school, a lot of fights seem to be just attention getters, if kids didnt have their friends around cheering them on they wouldnt fight. I would say like everyone else, avoid the fight if at all possible, if the kid does grab you or whatever after you tell him no i am not going to fight, then you should be prepared to defend yourself. I dont know what advice to give ya, i would say hit him in the wind pipe, that will knock the air outta him then you can wail on his face, if it goes to the ground definitely be the one on to, it could get real ugly if you are on bottom. If you are smaller than him use your quickness to your advantage. Remember this isnt a boxing match, anything goes. But once again if you can avoid the fight, dont fight.

 

First rule is don't fight.

In 5th grade we had PE at the same time as the Special ed kids, who were typically 1-2 years older. One of them and I got into it and we set up a fight. When the first punch was thrown, about 4 of the Special Ed guys jumped in and pummelled me mercilessly. I remember looking at my friends who were all just sitting there. So, second rule is make sure it's just you and him.

Third rule is accept the fact that you will experience pain and convince yourself that you can take more of it than your opponent.

Fourth rule is before you fight, play lots of sports and video games and then don't panic. Learn how to slow the action down in your brain and do everything you can to speed it up in your opponent's.

Also, remember that in declining a fight, opponents are not equal. There are some that you can walk away from that might actually increase your rep... however, if you care about things you can't just not show up... you have to show up and then turn your back when you walk away. (If you try this, it helps to have friends who will step in should the guy give you a blind charge.

I've walked away from 3 or 4 with no detrimental effects on my rep (at least with those who had opinions that mattered).

Bottom line: Don't fight... but if you have to then slow the action down, welcome the pain you are about to receive and revel in the pain you will inflict.

 

Good post, i was going to mention something about having friends with you, because i dont see how it would just be you and him when its going to be at a school, he will bring friends, they are probably the ones that are telling him to do it.

 

is this guy gonna reply or what?

 

He might be dead.

Somehow get him in a headlock. Then squeeze, hollar and hold on for dear life.

 

If you think you're going to lose there's ont thing to do: swing 1st, you may get lucky.

Other times I hate to swing 1st for a couple reasons. First the first punch usually doesn't connect which puts you off balance and the guy will either have an easy counter or he'll be on top of you. Second the guy who punches first is usually the guy who gets in trouble (even if the 1st punch misses).

But on most occassions fights turn into wrestling matches. Fights usually occurs between friends or guys who at least respect each other. Of course I'm from a small town so we never had to worry about guns, kives or anything else besides the otehr guy.

 

Some ways to avoid a fight:

1) Scream "I'm a haemophiliac!"

2) Come dressed 'Matrix-style', and bring a wicked wire stunt team.

3) Come dressed as one of the Wright Brothers, thinking that you agreed to a 'flight' not a 'fight'.

4) Buy a whole lot of the fake blood (they use in movies and stuff), cover your clothes and body with it. Arrive at the fight soaking in the fake blood and chewing on a raw leg of lamb.

5) Arrive on an ox, with 'yes' and 'no' painted on either butt cheek. (Of the ox, not yours).

 

Has the thread starter even posted anything in response to all these replies to his fight?

 

ok, time to clear this all up:

Im the other guy he had to fight, and using all these tips that you guys gave him, i predicted how he was going to fight and countered his headlock technique with the five point palm-exploding heart attack.


If it's any consolidation, he was a SOF.
