Poll: Can You Defend Yourself in a Fight.

[SendMeNoodz84]

Just as the title says, can you defend yourself when it comes to fighting.

Me, well i know Karate pretty good, im curently a brown belt, so i dont know everything but i know alot. If someone throws a punch i have about 30 billion different ways to either break their arm, break their ribs, break their neck, kill them, or just fuck them up pretty damn bad.

But Fighting isnt about how well you know martial arts, while martial arts helps imensly the ability to be light on your feet and react quicly is what its all about. Me and a friend were playing around with a fake knife, it was a plasitc toy knife, and we where fighting full speed to see how we'd fair in a knife fight. I blocked his attack, pushed up his arm, and elbowed him in the gut, disorienting him, and then i disarmed him.

Keep in mind as far as i know that wasnt a combination or a form, it was just me thinking on my feet.

So, my fellow Escpaists, how whell would you fair in a fight.

Yes I can, and have a countless number of times.

 

[Hiphophippo]

It really depends. I'd be about 50/50 if I were defending myself, but I'd pretty well murder anyone that attempted to hurt my daughter.

God help them.

 

[Cheesezorz]

I can run.

 

[RussetRanger]

I am both too weak and a pacifist thus I would be useless in a fight. Also, I tend to avoid them to the best of my ability.

 

[SilentVirus]

I can do okay in a fight.

 

[vivec710]

Considering my background in wrestling (five years) and that my bro used to beat my ass everyday.

I've done pretty damn good in fights. I've bloodied up and knocked out my fair share of people.

Bit of advice though, never go into a fight being over confident because chances are you will lose.

Unless your martial arts is for an MMA type event, chances are it's pretty useless in a street fight situation, and is normally not a viable means of self defense.

 

[JS ibanez]

Well I'm currently learning practical self defence so I stand a better chance than the untrained person.

My strengths lie in my conflict management skills though and generally avoid fights. If it comes to it though I'm a damn good runner and I do parkour so I can defeinately avoid them pretty well

You dont need to know karate..I took it for a few years,got a few belts and realized..weapons are always better.

Why do all those arm movements when you can just stab someone in the eye,the neck,the stomach..using a pencil or a pocketknife.

Me? I prefer a handgun. Fights over pretty quick and sometimes you don't even need to shoot them.

 

[mrbones228]

well.. I did do boxing training and It worked pretty well in my last fight
so yer I can defend myself in a fight

 

[Kajin]

I'd do anything to win and if I'm backed into a wall I can think on my feet pretty quickly. I try and think a little strategically. Instead of taking hits and trying to outlast my opponent like guys usually fight (god knows I would lose pretty quickly if I did that), my favorite strategy is to aim punches that disorient. I usually aim my first punch right for the nose. Even if it doesnt break, they're going to be seeing stars long enough for me to follow up by tackling them to the ground while they're disoriented and start wailing on their face for everything I've got.

Of course that was how I fought in middle school and my first year in high school. I haven't had to fight since then so I wager I'd lose pretty quickly, seeing as I'm a whole lot squishier than I was then.

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

I would win because my power level is OVER 9000!!!!!
But seriously i would probably do pretty well if the person was about my size and ability, also im a stubborn SOB
But really im a pacifist by nature so i would only fight if i was defending myself

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Probably not. I'm big, slow, clumsy, and not the least bit strong. But who knows, I'd have to get in a fight to know for sure what would happen.

Um what if you dont always have weapon on you, you know, because a 14 year old isnt allowed to bring weapons everywhere. And also, if you know what to do you can disarm and opponent with a knife or a gun rather easily. Of course distance does come into play but you get what im saying.

And also its a good thing to know when your caught off gaurd. And if you rely more on youe weapons then yourself then you my friend suck. what happens if you tool of destruction breaks or gets thrown away from you, what then.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I can fight pretty well, and I'm fairly in shape. I fight really dirty though, so that's what gives me an edge.

And how can you explain that knowing KArate isnt a viable means of defending thi self.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I can't fight, I can only restrain. I can't hurt people intentionally, it isn't in my nature, and nor is it possible, I just can't bring myself to punch back, so all I do now is restrain them until they know they can't break free.

I'm a useless fighter.

 

[iLikeHippos]

When I fight, I try think like Sherlock Holmes did in the recent movie - plan all my moves, and what my opponent will do.
But it keeps end up turning into a wrestle match with no victor. -.-

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

I might win. Unless I'm a moron.

When I first read that I thought it said mormon. XD

OT: I took martial arts for 10 years plus I carry more than 4 knives on me at any one time. Bring it *****!
