I use a mixture of different styles. For some reason I find myself going for grabs and locks instead of throwing punches and kicks. If I do punch, I aim for nerve points to disable them before going into a lock.
Put up your dukes Escapists! Can you fight?

I know some of the theory in fighting. For example, I know that it takes surprisingly little force (relatively speaking) to kill a man by crushing his larynx. I know which part of the fist should contact the body of your adversary (the major knuckles, that is where the fingers start, not the minor knuclkes in the middle of the fingers). I know that the most effective defense against a male aggressor who has a grapple on you is not, as is often believed, to kick or punch his genitals, but rather to squeeze them very hard (for some reason, a sudden attack in that region takes some time before the pain comes up fully, while a squeeze hurts instantly).
I know many such tidbits of information, but whether I'd be able to piece them all together in practice? No idea. Last time I got in something that could be called a fight was in middle school, some fifteen years ago. I have decent reflexes, but I'm not what you'd call muscular.
I might stand a chance against people of my same physical build, or perhaps slightly more muscular yet with worse reflexes, but if I ever find myself in the position of having to fight against anyone with any sort of training I might as well give them what they want right there and then and spare myself a beating.
For this reason I curse the country I live in every day for keeping tazers illegal, and I'm currently investigating the possibility of using a slightly unfocused, high power green laser as a personal defense weapon, the theory being that you momentarily blind your attacker by shining the laser in their face, then haul ass while they can't see you.

I'm a big guy, so people assume I could kick there ass
To be true, I've never been in a fight. I'm just too chilled

I took Tae Kwon Do for a couple years when I was in junior high school. Got my red belt, but I was never too great... and I've forgotten most of it by now.
I still do some amateur boxing. Been doing it since I was 15. I'm still one tough costumer.

Some reporter covered a bunch of bouts a couple years back. I was the 5th bout in the blue corner/gloves.

Yeah same, and If i see I'm gonna lose i don't see a problem with a nutshot.. they usually don't keep coming when they see me curled up on the ground gasping for breath.bodyklok said:
heheConsidering who I fight i probably can't, but it might be different if we didn't fight on a trampoline and weren't afraid of hurting my brother. or if we had a bigger trampoline. I want to lern some stuff, lol just to have a funner time kicking their arses
I did four years in the Army, which means a lot less than it sounds like it does, and about half a year in Kenpo, aka the school of cheap shots. It teaches the perfect form for kicking in a knee, collapsing a windpipe, and gouging out the eyes. And let's not forget the "elbow slap". It's an elbow to one side of the head, with a simultaneous ***** slap to the other. Tons of fun. Add to that my knowledge of anatomy and love of bringing foreign objects to the party, and I like to think that I could probably inflict enough pain on most adversaries to make them want to seek easier prey.
Sambo, Line fighting, and training with multiple melee weapons. I am taking brazilian jujitsu this fall to even out my ground game. but usually if i have to fight, I make damn sure its worth a trip to county. and most likely my opponent is going to the hospital. fighting is not a game to me.
Been in a decent amount of fights...won some, lost some...Knocked out a few peoples teeth, and been stabbed a few times. Arrested twice for it, but only briefly. I try not to fight over dumb stuff. I tend to be a grabber, and kicker. Being a brown belt in Tae-Kwon-Do helps with the kicking, that and my legs, which are insanly powerful compared to my arms, which are like two mounds of spaghetti nailed to my body. I don't care about blocking to much...I don't want to die without a few more scars anyways :-D
Got in a fight once, with four pale kids and a tough muscle bound guy.
They all sneak attacked me on the jungle gym. I won though.

I don't need to fight. I can solve conflicts by calmly talking them out. I do like to think that I can hold up in a fight though. I have good reflexes and when ever a friends tries to hit me, I end up getting them in a head lock.
Yes I can fight. I wrestle, you know grapples and submissions. In my opinion best way to handle drunks.
