Poll: Fighting

[TehCookie]

I've gotten into a few scrabbles in grade school but that's about it. Getting older I realized fighting is for people who can't use logic and talk out their problems, but I can still handle myself if needed.

The last real fight I had was when I was around six. I fought with one of the biggest, toughest kids in my class and I remember it ending with me slamming my fists on to his back as he cried out in pain. The problem was, he was my best friend at the time and I felt so guilty over what I did to him that I've never been in a fight since because I get so scared of what I might do to people if I do fight them. There have been a few close calls when I would approach someone and would come very close to hurting them but so far I've managed to keep my temper in check. For me it's strange because if suddenly become violent towards me I would be scared, but scared because of what I might do to them, not just what they could do to me.

I'm a wrestler, mostly holds, throws, but I know some basic karate. Unfortunately, I'm not used to physically trying to do someone harm with my punches/kicks, so they are generally ineffective in my normal temperament.

 

[Takoto]

I can't fight to save my life, literally.
If I had a weapon, say, a gun or knife I'd know how to use it, but when it comes too physical fighting I'm as weak as a door-mouse.

 

[Nmil-ek]

I know enough to handle myself, dad taught me how to box took it from there can throw perfect punches by now, barring that watching youtube videos/old martial arts films/playing tekken nabbing whatever looks practical and practice sparring with mates and whatever I have learned from experiance. My last fight ohh 4 months ago three twats casuing a ruckus outside one of my older neighbours house at night me and my mate asked them if they would clear out, they started off, we moved them.

I did some martial arts for a period of time, but I mostly rely on my size to keep me safe. The old adage that size doesnt matter is complete bullshit. The only time it doesnt matter is when the big guy is entirely unskilled and the little guy is Bruce Lee in spirit. Im 6'4 250 pounds, but im also a genuinely nice guy. So people tend to NOT try to hit me.

I could try to fight, but I would only do any good with a weapon.

 

[General Ken8]

I'm not experienced, but i'm among maybe two dozen people in my school who can pretty much pwn anyone else in the school in a fight, and i've been bodybuilding lately
But i wouldn't even touch someone unless it became physical, and that's turned out well for me

 

[ElephantGuts]

I'm too weak to fight. I would need a weapon of some sort or I'm sure I'd get my ass kicked by just about anyone. Thankfully, I've never needed to fight someone and hopefully I never will. Atleast, not until I have access to beer bottles or something to smash over my opponent's head.

I'm like a bear when I fight, I just swing and throw punches randomly, hoping I hit xD If I actually wanted to, though, I could easily do better xD I'm just waiting for the next fight I get into so I can kick some ass xD Just throw punches randomly and fast, and hope you hit, that's what I do xD

Yeah except you look like a spaz doing that. If I'm going to get my ass kicked I atleast want to look like as little of an idiot as possible, not as much of one.

No formal training.

Well, I did judo for a year about...9 years ago lol (yeah, I think I'd have been about 11). When I go back to uni, Birmingham, I'm going to take a self defence/martial arts course - either Kickboxing, Muay-Thai, Brazillian Jujitsu or simple boxing. I'm not sure which is actually going to be on offer when I get there, so I'll see.

At the moment I can defend myself, I reckon (never had to test it, fortunately). But (yeah, I'm a fatty at the moment) I weigh ~200lbs, but I've got quite muscley arms and legs thanks to my job and weight-lifting. I get picked on for being tubby, but it never excalates into a fight.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

I have some limited martial arts experience, knowing limited Judo and Krav Maga. There are some serious holes in my knowledge but... well, just don't try to bear hug me or choke me. You will be sorry, I can and will counter those moves mercilessly. I can also block straight punches and have had some practice at disarming knives, though not enough to guarantee saving myself in a fight.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

i am a black belt in karate, so you know, i know the ropes, and i can tie them too. (black belt is as high as i can go for those who dont know)

actually i think that wrestling can be very usefull in a street fight. If you manage to catch his arm/ neck hes done. ( and you will catch it, if you are a trained wrestler)

 

[Khaos Theory]

I would rather talk my way out of a sticky situation, but if push came to shove, i'll probably hit my opponent with whatever comes to hand, provided his attention is diverted of course. As of right now i'm only proficent in Judo, which in itself is kinda useless, unless i can get my opponent on the ground and break his arm/choke him out/gouge his eyes.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Never been in a serious fight, but I've been doing martial arts for about 8 years. So I'd like to think I can keep from being killed as long as the other guy isn't experienced at what he's doing.

The essence of fighting is cheating. Anyone who says differently is wrong.

 

[zauxz]

"Only with a weapon"? LOL.

Between someone who can only fight with a weapon, and someone who can only fight with their bare hands, it's pretty easy to pick the one I'd rather have on my side in a fight.

Some people are trained to fight with weapons ( like kendo or fencing) Sometimes they know only basic hand to hand attacks.
