Poll: Can You Defend Yourself in a Fight.

[Fetzenfisch]

I hate fights. I try to avoid them where i can, and my fast thinking and witty speaking has got me out of most situations without anyone getting hurt. It was pretty close sometimes yeah. But when the opponent is to angry and/or stupid do solve it other ways, i', 6.2" (1,88m) tall and not without muscle too. But i still prefer the dirty tricks, fair fights are much more dangerous for my intact skin.

I like to think that I would be able to hold my own, but i have never been in a real fight, so......I can't be sure.

I don't know much martial arts, I took a few lessons when I was younger but can't remember much. All I have going for me is that I'm 6 foot 3 and of a very muscular build. But that doesn't mean much if I don't have much technique.

The funniest fight i saw was some white dude trying to tell a pimp to lay off his ho that he was beating. The pimp got mad and walked over to the white dude and started a fight. Before the pimp could throw a punch the white dude back-fisted the pimp to the temple and knocked him out cold. Turns out the white guy was a black belt karate instructor.

Is this the video you were thinking of?

Haha yep. That shit makes me laugh every time I see it.

Never really learned martial arts, but growing up in South London will make you learn a few things fast.

I haven't been in that many fights in recent years, but the ones I did get into I all won. I don't know any martial arts, I'm just a natural bar brawler I suppose. A few years back I fell victim to an armed robbery, though, and for a whole year I was too paranoid to leave my house at night without my sai (one of the few melee weapons I'm fairly good at using).

 

[ribonuge]

Not very well. I would probably do the doggy paddle. Stoooooooop you're huuuuuuuurting meeeee.

 

[God's Clown]

I didn't really see an option for "Yes, I am a very cheap fighter thus will win." That is my style. I don't fight to be "fair" or for "honor" I fight to win.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I try to avoid fighting as far as possible. If it was unavoidable though, I dunno, 50/50 I reckon. I'm not a big guy, I'm tall and skinny... but I'm stronger than I look, particularly in situations of stress, anger or emergency, so that might help.

 

[ae86gamer]

Well, I'm an opportunistic fighter. So anything within arms reach is a possible weapon.

I think I'd be able to defend myself in a fight.

 

[Fox1789]

I am a pleasant person but if it comes to a point where I would hit someone, I see red.. and I fight dirty.

 

[carpathic]

I've got scars on my knuckles and had a brother with special needs. I learned how to fight pretty young.

 

[reg42]

I not voting.
I'm a pacifist, I don't believe that violence solves anything. If I were in a fight, I would try defend myself, but I've never fought before, so I don't know how good of a fighter I am.

 

[Pekkipang]

Got a few years of Muay Thai training and matches on my neck. But havent been in many fights.
Outside the ring.
Tho when i havent had the option to walk away, i have pretty much just
knocked their lights out pretty much.

Kinda depended on the situation once a drunk ahole, were grabbing a
girlfriend of me. At that time i just held him down until the cops came.

Tho if "ITS ON" (U can pretty much se if someone is gonna try to hurt you.)
A direct hit with a knuckle or a foot mostly ends the whole thing in a sec.

Ring record 16 - 1 - 3
Street/Bar 3 - 0 - 0

I'm fairly strong, though not as much as I look (about 188cm tall and weigh about 96kgs). I'm not big enough to attract the douchebags looking to prove themselves in a fight, and I'm far too big for the people looking to win an easy fight, so I basicially get left alone (I'm far to conscious of my own weaknesses to start fights).

In a fight, my biggest strength by far is the ability to humble myself, even if I think I'll win I'm far more likely to try and walk than try and fight. This of course means, that if I am fighting, it's because I'm scared, and we all know what they say about animals being at their most dangerous when frightened...It's been a long time since I've been in such a position, however.

 

[Brad Shepard]

It just all depends if im on defending myself or not, because thats the only way ill ever fight, sence fighing is pointless and you need to be a human being and just solve your problems with words.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

give him the old "WHATS THAT?!?-2 combo"

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

I used to wrestle back in the day, so I know my way around most fights.
One thing I've found out however, has been far more important to me than anything else.

"If you're in a fight, and you're fighting for real, no trick is too dirty if it means you'll win."
