Hey Fellas, Any Of You Never Been In A Fistfight?

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I usually assume all adult males have been in a fight sometime in their life. Every once in awhile I'll find someone who hasn't. So not everybody but I guess mostly. Any of you never been in a fistfight?

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Haha, I took martial arts for years.. everyone wanted to fight me

I've hit a couple people, but only in retaliation. Its self defense, not just cause you're mad at someone. 9/10 it ends in a takedown, not so much a punch or kick.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Been in a couple, but not since my twenties, At this stage of the game....(mid 50's), I am far to old and beat up to dance.


Oh, and I was never really known to start shit, I just didn't take much B.S. before I lost my temper.

 

[georges]

A long while ago, I also studied Aikido during 5 years which helped me.

 

[pool_hustler]

Not since middle school.
I retired with a record of one win, one loss and one draw

 

[Jack Davenport]

I was sucker punched by a drunk in a bar once and it resulted in a busted lip and a few stitches.
A few playground and neighborhood fights as a kid. That’s about it.

 

[Torre82]

Back in my school days, it was a one-and-done about 2-3 times each school year.

In the military, there were a few drawn out fights, but usually some guys around would stop it after a major hit.

After the fact, I worked as a bouncer in a bar. It never fails that some shit will always get started when the other 10 guys are NOT around to get in on the first hit ~ but give it 15 seconds and you'll have a quarter of the guys swarm in, the drunken guy (or girl) dragged out, and you really dont end up with anything. No bleeding, no bruising. Maybe a sore shoulder or nose. But.. eh, every so often you win the 'bad luck lottery' and they pull a gun/knife/tazer.
That kinda ruins your day, but you still have a job to do. So we just form up and wait until they see reason. Maybe a minute, at most. These things never take long, but they feel like forever. :\

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Twice. The last encounter I had that could have been a fight was a sucker punch on me. I let it go cos of how severely drunk everybody was and just went home. No need to have cops and ambulances crashing the scene. They did that enough on their own. So best I just move along and keep my name away from theirs on any reports and files.

Fighting ain't fucking worth it in majority of encounters.

 

[sean miguel]

Yeah, with my older brothers but then our dog (bless her doggie heart) would rush in barking her head off to break us up then we'd start laughing. So I don't think that counts.

The last actual fist fight for real was back in the 8th grade. I blacked out during it and came to after pounding the shit out of his face. Think of that scene in A Christmas Story with Ralphie going to town on a young Conan O'Brien.

I've been lucky for the most part growing up though. I was always tall for my age and people for some reason always assumed I knew karate or kung fu. I did earn a white belt in karate while studying in Japan and I've watched The Karate Kid several times and probably could do the Crane Kick if needed.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I fought a lot as a kid and did night club security for years. I haven't gotten into a single fight since I stopped working security jobs. I'm 50 years old now, happily married, own real estate, and have a respectable bank account. I have way too much to lose so I'm somewhat defanged. If I were to hit someone now that would affect more than just me and the guy I hit. I love my wife more than I hate anyone else.

 

[Death-Proof-69]

I've sparred for training purposes and fun because I am an enthusiast of fighting as an art/sport but I haven't been in any serious fights that I would consider worth mentioning. I also have too much too lose over petty fights so I refrain from acting out aggressively to people who upset me (which doesn't happen often).

 

[xfire]

I've beat the hell out of a few people, but I wouldn't really call any of them fights. I started training in martial arts when I was fifteen, and I'm still active.

 

[Rane1071]

Yeah, I had a few when I was in school, and a couple of good pub fights back in my wild heavy drinking days. Although to be clear, I'm a happy drunk until pushed to far and then it's 'on'.

All that shit was a long time ago now.

 

[RJS13]

Last fight I was in some hack came up to the bar and accused me of having sex with his wife. The nerve of that guy. Sad part is, he was justified because I railed the bitch, several times and she loved every second. She prolly hadn't had strange in years. But anyways, he's a big sum bitch like me 6'3" 250lbs and we start going. I'm hitting this fool with some massive blows, and I'm a hard hitter. I expected him to go down anytime but he didn't. It finally got broke up and we were both bloody. My nose was broke which led to 2 black eyes later but he didn't look any better. I found out the next day the dude was an amateur/pro bull rider. No wonder he was taking blows like nothing. Last fight ever, now when confronted I'll just blow you away legally

Haha. "I resent the accusation. It's completely justified, but I resent it."

That reminds me. I used to fuck around with this chick who was cheating on her boyfriend with me. He worked as a line cook at some restaurant. She'd grab takeout there which he would pay for and then she'd bring lunch to me. We'd watch a movie, fuck on my parents' pool table, watch the rest of the movie, enjoy my free lunch, before she'd have to go pick up her boyfriend from work.

Anyways, the point of this tangent was he was this short bodybuilder dude. One time I was leaving her house and he was standing right outside her door. I was like "oh shit, here we go." We didn't throw down though, I was just like "what's up" and went on my way. There's still no point to this story but I thought I'd share.

Use your words not your fists. A verbose dialogue is vastly powerful compared to primitive weapons like fists. I mean aside from masturbation why should one even form a fist and use it?

For with our words we are able to defeat. We are now able to conquer. Because I swear to almighty (diversified deity that you personally accept, love and worship) the word shall be victorious.

Open your fists to open palms fellow FreeOnes and high five me and let us wallow into the sweet arms of (insert pronoun) victory!!!

For we not know how to lose. No! We know how to win!

I took a girl out during a basketball game once. She kept pushing me just to push me and wouldn't stop pulling my hair so I turned around and took her out.

Needlessly to say, I did not finish the basketball season with my team.

I take it Cthulu was one of them neglectful fathers that never showed up to your sport events

 

[RASQ]

Oh yeah I've been in a lot of fights when I was young. But now that I'm old I just tase my opponent and while they are incapacitated by the volts flowing through their body, I proceed to kick the shit out of them.

 

[xfire]

Most people don't have the cajones to take a punch, best thing any father can do is put their kid in boxing gloves and shove their little ass in the ring.
