I once got jumped by 4 guys. Three of them with knifes, disarmed the first by breaking his arm. The second I stabbed in the throat with the knife of the first guy. The third guy tried to pull some failing high kick on me I low kicked his kneecap with my steel tipped shoes, wasn't getting up from that. Last guy stabbed me through my hand, I threw him down and continue to beat on him, he got taken to the hospital with internal bleedings.

Another time I tried to help someone who was getting robbed, I walked up and got shot in the shoulder.

What's there to say, Shit happens

20 feet... About 6 meters, right? So, you'd be hitting that train at about... 30 km/h. Ought to break a leg, hitting hard surface you can't even roll on to lessen the impact force.
Twenty feet is definitely doable. I have done it in the past as a teenager. Perhaps I should throw out This Link . Some random drunk dude falling 50 feet, compared to a sober guy jumping 20. Which seems safer?
Sorry, but I simply don't believe that you are judging this right, as do a lot of other people. Cool story as it may be, I can't really believe you fell 5 metres, let alone 6.
Alright, I don't really care. Not trying to be a dick, but this was in a familiar location. I know the bridge height, and I'm not trying to brag. While 20 feet is a decent drop, it's not life threatening. Either you're misinformed, or you're calling me a liar. Either way, you're disrespectful. I wouldn't be an ass to you if you got mugged, why the hell are you doing it to me? Are you seriously such a bad person you'd pick on a crime victim?
Massive amounts of sympathy dude but and this is a big but if you did fall 20 feet you'd be hitting the train at 60m/s not including the trains horizontal velocity which would add a whole other set of forces into this (hurrah for basic physics) and if you didn't roll on impact you would break your legs no matter how athletic you are, 20ft falls onto metal/concrete are predominantly fatal unless you land and roll correctly.

I'm not calling you a liar I just think this bit is somewhat exaggerated.

I got mugged once.

The story:

I was walking home from work. House is about a 10 minute walk, but I don't mind, I enjoy walking.
A few minutes from home, and this (must've been 30 or so) guy comes out holding a knife. Says he wants my money. Preferring not to get into a fight, I hand him my wallet (which never has more than $40 in it at a time). I thought he'd leave me alone. He didn't. He attacked me, went straight for my throat. I decided I am not going to die. He draws the knife closer to my neck, I grab his hand and turn it for his throat. Stabbed him. Didn't stop pushing until the knife stopped against what was either his spine or the concrete below us.

The guy was dead. I never thought that I'd ever kill anything, let alone another person. I turned myself in to the police. I showed them to the body, I was let off because they said it was self-defense, and the man was buried.

Later on I learned who the man was. Name was Keith. Apparently he was homeless, but people around town knew he wasn't right in the head.

I try to tell myself that I was in the right. Other people say I was, but I don't think so. I can't forgive myself for taking another man's life. Still haunts me to this day.

Feels nice to talk about this. Kind of cathartic.

My sympathies mate, but as the first reply stated, you are fucking batman! I've never been jumped myself, my friend was once and we got the dicks that jumped him, but never me, I was in a fight last night though, got a chipped jaw, but I still won XD

I guess we can no longer believe any news source that doesn't have a video feed. Although... Even then it could be photoshopped!!! Shit! What ever will we do for news now. We can't even believe our eyes. Honestly, as said before, I'm not trying to hate. You are simply wrong. Every news article is written by a single person. Every book is too. Most online videos are also from a single person. You disbelieve me, and you set the merit for them all. I agree some are wrong, but the way you put your argument, we all are.
Before I get pounced on for attacking you, I'm not, I'm educating the masses with this argument. See, we have a little thing with news sources which is basically that if they lie to us, they can get taken to court for being misleading IF someone approaches them. Now, most people won't try to incur that wrath and will uphold this code, at most though a person will take facts and weave them into a different story. When a story is made, it's taken as an opinion of events, like detectives on CSI. Facts are facts though and no matter which way about it, they cannot be made up. Brought up at the wrong time and used out of context yes, but if you make up facts in a news source, you're pretty much screwed for life, unless you're lucky.

Also, I'm not kidding here, I really REALLY want to believe your story, but the acurracy that it's told at compared to the actual event...I just can't get my head around it. If I got mugged, I would not have recalled it being a certain sized bridge I fell off. The fact you can acurrately recall (or roughly guestimate) a speed of 10 mph is quite incredible too. All I'm saying is, if it were me, I'd have only recalled simple facts. Something like:

"Hey guys, so I got mugged by 5 guys, while I was on a bridge on the way home. They pretty much surrounded me so after trying the self-defence option I could only flee by jumping off the bridge. Fortunately there was a train going underneath at a considerably slow speed which managed to break my fall somewhat. Since they took my shoes (and my wallet) I had to walk home barefoot from the station where the train had come to stop. Been a bit of a rough night tbh."

The fact that no-one appeared to be at the station or on the train either is a bit interesting, but I'm willing to believe that on the simple grounds that I have witnessed "My Little Pony" becoming more popular than "Transformers". Tell that to my 10yo former self and he would have probably jumped on a train too.

But like I say, I really want to believe this to put my faith into kick-assing and humanity once again. If you have any evidence of the event I will take everything back in an instant. And for the love of god, if this is real, report it to the police and get checked by the hospital. Seriously what if these guys pulled that stunt again? Then who'd be the arse? (The one who could have prevented it that's who)

You have earned it.
Standing up to five guys, getting your face beating in, but still escaping in the most awesome way possible (well, it would be more awesome if the bridge exploded, and hot babes came from helicopters, but still 96% awesome) grants you this medal.
Wear this proudly on your manly chest hero.
There is not a single man denying the awesome in your deeds. If there is, he is either crazy or lying . Or a crazy liar, and dragons will spawn from your awesomeness to incinerate this blasphemous infidel

Now I'm curious. its not against you, but what makes any of what anyone says hard to believe. i cant speak for the OP, but if you want proof of mine, I can send you a pciture of the scar on my arm from the knife. But not knowing personal life, it seems rather... well.. I cant think of the word, but i'm just curious as to why people feel the need to question when someone posts like that. Especially since you could probably challenge any of the mugging stories in this thread.

Probably lines like:

No matter whats happened, I've always walked away, and more times then not, I've left broken men behind me
Okay sure thing tough guy. I think you've been reading too many comic books.

The fourth just stood there and I guess weighed his options, cause he just laid down the knife and walked away.
Correction I think you've been watching too many action movies.

Now I have to say, maybe you are that tough, I'm not going to doubt that it's possible and if it's true then you sound like a handy guy to have around. But when you give us such ridiculous descriptions it sounds like you're a fiction junkie. You're telling me you got in a fight with four men, two armed with knives, you are 155 pounds and you "broke" all four of them? No. That's too ridiculous to believe. It's hard enough to fight two people when you're getting punched in the back of the head, let alone stabbed. What did they take numbers?

Now what I'm going to say is going to sound insulting. Mind you, I don't mean it personally. Getting in a fight with a stranger is scary. Pushing a guy with a knife is stupid. Fighting when you're outnumbered is stupid. Fighting strangers with knives when you're outnumbered is stupidest of all. I had an uncle in Mexico who got into a knife fight? Guess what? Somebody died. Even if you are that good you're an idiot and I don't believe you're that good. I got into a fight once with a guy who knew marine hand to hand. I was 185 pounds and could bench 325 at the time. I also had very fast hands but I had no formal fight training. I did not manage to break any of his bones nor did he manage to break any of mine (and he told me he had been trying, afterwards). I did not "break" him in the slightest, in fact I was quickly getting tired. The fight stopped because I asked him a question and he took the opening to consider that I actually cared about what he thought. I did not, particularly, I just wanted out of that mess as fast as possible, (it was in a store, no less) but anyhow. Bones are HARD to break, and you're magically breaking them like everyone in the world has vrolik's syndrome. I have to think that only somebody who had never been in a fight would think that fighting was so easy. You'll forgive me but that's just my experience.

Real people aren't made out of glass and they don't stand around like molasses waiting to get hit. You try to break free of a hold, they adjust their grip, you try to dislocate their arm they stiffen it and shift their weight. It's not like the movies at all. And here's atheist, pudgy and frequently saying things I debunk him for and now he jumped 20 feet off a bridge, onto a train in his socks and didn't break anything. Robbers are scared, their adrenaline is already going, they are not going to be sluggish. At the first sign of trouble they freak out and react.

"I guess he weighted his options and decided that I was the ultimate badass."
Well if you are, then take my apologies right here and now man but I hope you understand why I have trouble beleiving it.

Well the first line is true. I grew up in a military family, and the first lesson I always taught was you leave the enemy to either run or unable to fight back (can be through surrender). mercy will only bite you in the ass. I never said I was never injured. there's been multiple times where I've walked or limped home with a new broke appendage and a few more scars.

as for the second, what do you expect? they're street thugs. They're not hardened soldiers, and i think after you see three other guys who are at least 30 lbs bigger then the guy they're trying to fight get beaten, you're not exactly willing to fight. there's been many times where an army will surrender to a smaller yet more skilled and superior force. Lets put you in the situation. if a person smaller then you just beat three men bigger then him to hell, and you're not much bigger then any of the men who just had their asses beaten, are you going to want to fight them? especially if they now have a weapon?

I should preference it. i really should. i'm third generation military family. my grandfather was a ranger in WW2, two of his brothers were navy, and one was Marine (he had a third in the navy, but that one was killed). my grandfather had six kids, five boys, one girl (my mom). Each one of the boys was in the military as well. Two were navy, one airforce, one army, and one was national guard before signing to the marines. each one has seen I'm not the biggest kid, so tehy pretty much passed anything and everything they could along so I would be able to get out of any situation. I have more training then the average person, and I'll admit it, its not a fair fight even with more numbers against me.

the OP also preferenced their post, saying tehy know Krav maga (sure I misspelled it). people can lie, but why they would bother online, I dont get. I honestly try not to (unless I'm being sarcastic, then I'll lie through my teeth just to be funny), and I can tell you I'm not in this case.

... ugh, that came off as more rantish then I wanted. Long story short, I just dont see why people should get to debunk others. There's plenty of instances in life where men of humbleness are awesome under pressure. I dont want to criticize the OP (mostly cause thats hypocritical) so I just told a story of one of the muggings I was cuaght up in. I'm not saying I'm awesome, or a hero, or that I thought this was easy. Just a story of something that happened to me thats relevant.

and basically started to shoe-fuck his face

Sorry I was in the mindset that if somebody threatens me with a weapon I have the right to kick them in the teeth. My bad.
I think the bit where you went overboard was when you kicked him in the teeth and didn't just try and kick his knife away. I mean, you have a knife of your own for work, so you kick him in the face, and after that it should have been about keeping him as a non-threat, not repeatedly kicking him in the face. The first kick wasn't the over-kill, the subsequent kicks were, because you presumably had a non-violent advantage at that point.

OT: If this happened (it is the internet, so it is reasonable to be a skeptic. I don't mean it as an insult) then you are clearly Batman, and you have my respect. I've never had this happen to me, but as for why people do it? I'd say a lack of empathy, a low SES and a gang-centric social environment. Honestly, just thinking about people like that makes me feel a weird combination of sad and sick.

Well that's a tricky proposition. On the one hand I don't like getting hurt nor do I have medical insurance. On other hand I know this might sound stupid but I've always been too curious for my own good. And on the other other hand (assuming now there's three) I'm just not the type to want to pull a knife or gang up on anyone, much less somebody smaller than me. We'll leave it at 'no' for now.

Ah no problem, sometimes a good long rant is the only way. Now then, I'm happy for you but I'd probably just fork over the money and really, tough or not you might want to think about doing the same. Better an empty wallet than a full casket. You're probably going to keep fighting though. You seem like a nice guy so here's hoping you continue to wind up on top of the heap. A tip of the hat to you.

actually he said he did free style running. If he did, he wouldn't have called it free style running. He would have said freerunning/parkour/I was a traceur.
Or just like the Krav Maga bit, he picked the most fucking hardnut thing he could find for his fabrication without doing some basic research first and fucked it up.

Everyone is hating on OP for his colourful story, but I assumed he was either:
A) Making a joke
or
B) Making a serious story more interesting with obvious exaggeration.

He could always be delusional, but hey I assumed it was done intentionally in jest.
You don't emit the level of defensive butthurt that the OP has been giving off the instant someone even remotely questions the veracity of his statement without obviously expecting people to take it seriously and at face value.

Stop calling him the goddamn batman people, I would like to credit you with a little more common sense than your reactions are demonstrating.

This thread was a poor attempt at e-peen enlargement. That is all. Thank you for playing.

I've had a similar experience. Six men surrounded me, threatened me and attacked and almost killed me. I had plenty of time to run but I didn't because when I look back at it; one man stood against many, in the face of danger I didn't run and givne the chance I would do it all over again.

if you have three hands, I say start fighting. Thats an immediate advantage on anyone. XD

thanks. Quite honestly, I'll continue to fight. Not because I want to (at least not really) but because, well, I lack a self preservation instinct. No matter what danger something presents I'd blindly walk right into it. its probably cause I'm not as apprehensive about death, since i faced it when i was five (different story, but to summarize, i was bitten by a black widow cause I got to close to it). so I just lack that little filter that says "STOP DAMNIT!!!"

Also, I'll go to anyones aid, as long as they're not doing something evil. More then enough times, I bring this kinda crap on myself, and so far its been 99.9% luck and about .1% skill I'm not dead yet. Just how I am I suppose. but thanks for the concern at least. A tip of the hat to you as wel.

A few times, beat up a guy and walked away from his friend laughing, took the knife from the 2nd and he ran away and got legit mugged 2ce when they took my money and my watch the 2nd time. couldn't do much against 8 beefy dudes. but wtv man you did well and koodos to you. keep training in Krav Maga and you'll build the confidence to take on 5 people if not more at once. I saw my systema master drop 4 guys in a matter of 3 seconds so yeah... and he is a skinny man. You did well and the fact that you live and they got a pair of shoes for five people puts them in a worse situation than you.

Thats just life man, always throws curve balls at you.
