Uh, if Thai-boxing matches & sparring counts, then yeah. Same with kenjutsu partner practise.
Regardless of result (which were more or less half and half win-loss) I felt great afterwards... (if in a lot of pain.) Broken rib is the worst I've gotten, broken arm is worst I've dished out. Virtually no blood spilt (think it would've pissed off a lot of people otherwise).

No proper fights really. Except for Jiu jitsu sparring that is.
All the "real" fights I've been in were ended by the first move or so. The ones I can remember are one where a guy took my hat and slapped me in the face, so I put him in a headlock. The bastard started crying and ran off.
Then there was this time when I was 5 years old. I don't really know how much truth there is in this one, since I don't remember it myself, but a friend of mine was apparently an onlooker and remembered it quite vividly.
There was this kid in kindergarten who was a mighty prick, so I apparently pushed him to the ground, then jumped onto his chest/stomach with my knees, then started hammerin at him with my fists. (You know, hitting with the bottom of the fist, in a hammering motion, not proper punching with the knuckles)
Oh, and there was this time when a guy was whipping me with his scarf, and when he refused to quit it, I grabbed his scarf and held on tight. He proceeded to walk up to me (who was sitting in a chair at the time) and start slapping me and kicking me on the shin. I didn't fight back then, but decided to instead calmly and humorously narrate the events for the onlookers. Then he tried kicking me in the head, at which point I stood up, shouted at him and walked away.

Never been in a fight and i will always avoid them outside of games. I must keep my record clean and shiny and if i did get in a fight i am 6 foot somthing and built like a brick shit house but all my potential muscle is fat so all i can really do is intimidate. If some how i do manage to win i would feel bad because my perfect report would be ruined and my argument that just because i look big doesn't mean im good at fighting would be ruined.
I was in more fights than I could count in school. Not sure if I lost or won any of them. Don't really care to recount them except to say that fighting is basically stupid but sometimes necessary.
As an adult I've never been in a fight because I don't tend to attract that kind of attention. Also, I don't get drunk which probably helps.

I usually lost Taekwon-Do matches, but I usually won at practice (especially after I was 16 or so), because the people in my club were smaller than me (obviously I didn't beat the shit out of them, but I don't think letting people win will teach them much).
I've not been in any real fights after elementary school, but those weren't really a big deal as they usually ended before any real damage was done. I could take each of my bullies one on one, so even though there were 8 of them, they usually were reluctant to get into a fight. I wasn't really their prime target anyway.

A few schoolground brawls. Convinced the bullies to stop picking on me, so I guess I won? A teacher even said well done to me afterwards. Fun times.
If Sparing counts I've fought lots off people, I can usually beet someone who doesn't have a weight advantage over me but I don't like hitting people so I usually don't go all out.
In the real world I generally only step in to stop fights before they start or get too bad, 9 times out of 10 though i can do that without needing violence.

Well every time I get into a fight I end up getting in big trouble for some reason... Of course, these are mostly school fights, where every spectator dobs in the most threatening participant *cough*.
So I try to avoid physical fights in general. And it turns out playing all those hours of UT99 years back gives you very fast reaction times. So usually I can deflect any attempts to start a brawl.

The last time I was in a fight was in P6, which was about....well, MANY years ago. The way I remember it, I was walking away from a confrontation when he insulted me so I slowly turned turned around and punched him into a ditch. I am honestly sure that is how it happened even though it sounds like some nursery action movie.
These days I am a coward and never get into fights.

Been in plenty, lost more than I've won. I don't recall any particular emotions with a lot of them because I was being a dick head.Ulvai said:
I had a couple that I won and was pretty happy about but that was more a feeling of power that comes from finally standing up to a bully and not coming off worse for wear.
Fighting is stupid, I avoid it where possible now. My pride can take a hit better than my jaw so I'd rather apologise (even if I'm not in the wrong) and walk away.
Potential muscle is a myth, just so you know. There's muscle and fat, "untrained muscle" is a misused term, it's not latently powerful muscle that's just slack so much as a term for a person who is generally untrained and usually refers to endurance more than strength.sam42ification said:
Chances are that you're more muscular than you think. Which is a positive.
I got beaten up a lot in school. But no real fights until about sixteen, where I got my ass handed to me by some dude who was well-known for handing people's asses to them. Lovely guy, very polite of him.
No, but it was a stupid fight and only happened for kicks. I didn't land one hit on him and just sort of let him pummel my face like "okay this is only fair right it would be lame to try and block or anything".
He shook my hand after. I was a little delirious and apologised for getting blood on him.

I'm assuming you mean physical fights based on the title. Aside from Kendo matches and sparring, I've been in two fights although that may not be the right word. They weren't so much fights as a 3-stage farce:
1. Idiot starts a fight with me for unclear reasons (first one was some argument I don't remember and the second was a stranger who, as I heard later, was trying to impress his friends by attacking the big, scary guy in school).
2. I punch idiot once.
3. Idiot falls down crying and runs away.
That's it. Other than those two, nobody's ever bothered trying to fight me. Being 187cm (6'1") with shoulders wide enough to occasionally have trouble fitting through doors and the muscles of a dancer/kendo practicioner has kept most people well out of my way. Unfortunately, it also keeps women away
