Poll: Fighting

[TheRightToArmBears]

I can, especially if I'm in a mood. And I am now. if someone started now, I would go ape shit. I don't like fighting a great deal, I'd rather settle it peacefully, most of the time. But not now...

WROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!

 

[The Shade]

I want you to do me a favor. I want you to hit me as hard as you can.

Hey! You know what the first and second rules are...

 

[Squeakems]

I usually am better at fighting than the average person purely due to subterfuge. There have been a few times where I'd act like I'm trying to resolve the conflict, put my hands up,say I don't want to fight about it,all whilst stepping closer,then once in range headbutt them in the face and follow up with an elbow to the cheek, and go for punches after said opener.Cheap,dirty,yeah,but when you're not as tall,strong,or as skilled as your opponent,you have to be. I've been in a few situations where the conflict was imminent and I just had to strike first. I usually go for the ambush tactic if I pick a fight with someone,follow them,stay out of sight,then jump out of nowhere and drop em. Haven't lost a fight since fourth grade.

 

[Aur0ra145]

I box and grapple regularly. Plus, I used to wrestle in high school.

Though I don't instigate fights outside the ring, I'd much rather just not get into it. Too much legal bullshit to deal with now days if you knock the shit out of someone who had it coming.

 

[Broady Brio]

Nope I can't protect myself, even if my life depended on it.

So kicking people in the balls is fun.

 

[historybuff]

I got into some fist fights in school but I've never been in anything too hardcore. So I can protect myself but I wouldn't be able to take on anyone who's trained, likely.

 

[The_Echo]

I've seen people fight around here, which is to say they've mastered the technique of throwing punches without thinking. With that in mind, I'm sure I could defend myself in hand-to-hand, but I'd probably have a better chance with a weapon. In fact, considering I'm not genuinely muscular, I'd definitely have a better chance.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I know how to fight, yes. I can play plenty of scenario's in my head, I know how to parry and counter-attack, I know plenty of moves to defend myself. The problem is, because I never trained or gotten into an actual fight, that those moves aren't in my system. I know them, yes, but for them to be effective they need to be reflexes. Afterall, you don't have time to think in a fight.

Even though I think I can manage myself. I'm pretty strong (especially the arms), and I always imagined that whén I flip out enough to get in a fight, I'll just bash my opponents head against all kinds of objects a lot untill they stop moving.

 

[captainordo]

I'm big enough make the other person not fight me, but I can't say that I'm experienced.

 

[XJ-0461]

I reckon I could protect myself, but I've never had a proper fight. And if I did, it would be like a bar room brawl than any display of skill.

 

[Eagle Est1986]

I haven't had a fight or years, I think people find me intimidating, I've had a few people start on me and I've jumped in for friends but it's never amounted to a full blown fight.

 

[bjj hero]

1: I can hold my own, Ive been doing martial arts for years. Violence and videogames are my only vices. I don't smoke and rarely drink.

2: Not counting competition I've not been in a fight for a few years. Much as I subdued the guy quickly it wasn't a happy experience, we both got taken outside and my shirt was covered in snot. Ruined my night. Most fights can be avoided by walking or talking.

 

[Asciotes]

I do Aikido, so I could take care of myself.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

I can probably hold my own, but I'm probably small for my age. 5'5" and almost 20, so most others are a bit bigger than I am. I'd like to think I could fight if I had to, but a weapon won't hurt.

Never got in a real fight, but my brother and I beat each other up every once in a while. We hold back of course. If we had a mat, I could actually throw him down.

 

[mikecoulter]

I know how to protect myself. I have pretty good upper body strength. And if I can land a good kick, they'll be pretty sorry. Mountain biking is amazing for the legs and torso.

 

[Viggo]

I'm pretty handy with a BFG 9000, yes.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I've studied several different martial arts over the years, some formally, others no, but in a real fight there is only one piece of advice that has always worked for me.

Hit back first, hardest, and dirtiest. I have, thankfully, been in only a few fights, but I haven't lost yet. I don't like fighting fair...

 

[Roamin11]

I tend to only fight when I am at a party or a bar and I see a guy forcing himself upon a young women, then after I taught the guy a lesson I have to fight because the young women forces herself upon me.......

 

[queensbomb]

I can protect myself well enough. I've won almost all fights I've been in (except when a 400 pound guy convinced me to wrestle him. Ah the pain...), probably because I know where to hit people (behind the ear ftw!). My last fight was a few weeks ago when some buddy's of mine were screwing around.

 

[El Poncho]

A strong person does everything he can not to fight, fighting is a last resort I can protect myself but i'm not experienced in any type of fighting, at most I was blue tag at tae kwon do.

I am pretty tall and look like I can fight so , it's rare someone trys to pick a fight with me.
