Do you know how to fight?

[chuppachup]

Have you ever been in one? How many? Would you know how to defend yourself if the situation called for it?

I'm an experienced fighter and I practice martial arts

I'm an experienced fighter but I've only fought in street fights

I'm experienced in self defence but nothing more

I used to practice/learn martial arts and I still remember some of it

I used to practice/learn martial arts but I can't remember it

Other

I'm a basically punching bag/I prefer escaping

[GirlsLie]

Oh god this question, some of my answers are going to be so dumb and embarrassing lol. I'm like the least violent person ever and i've only started one fight which was with my sister.

Umm my cousins, who were older than me and all boys lived with us sometimes (we all lived with my grandma) and they taught me how to fight, I kind of had to learn or else they would beat the hell out of me lol

I went to a school with a lot of black people and i'm pale as hell, blonde hair, blue eyes so a lot of people started shit with me (not saying that to be racist) just the truth, I was also really quiet and had no friends there, so that made it even worse. One guy when I was like 10 years old, pushed me down from behind and when I rolled over to get up he stood over me and was talking shit so I kicked him in the balls and when he fell down to his knees I pushed him completely down and started punching him.

Another time a girl was trying to fight me at a school basketball game when I was a teenager because her boyfriend liked me but I didn't even like him or say a word to him ever, he was just always looking at me. So we got into a fight but I won because she fights like a typical girl, hair pulling/slapping.

After school another time when I was a teenager walking home two girls from school and a group of people they had with them (who wanted to see a fight I guess) came and started one with me because one of them said I said something about her but I never said a word about the girl to anyone, didn't even know her. So we all three got into a fight, I ended up knocking the one girl down and getting on top of her, hitting her and the other girl pulled me off of her and was holding my arms so as she pulled me off, the other girl kicked me in the face but I got loose from the girl holding me and we started fighting too then people broke us up.

Another time I got into a fight with my sister, who is way bigger than me, she's like 5'8" (we're only two years apart), she kicked my mom in the face, so I went to where she was staying at and told her to get the fck up if she wanted to fight then fight someone her own age. So we got into a fight, I was like 20 at the time, wasn't my proudest moment lol

Girl fights are different though, most girls don't have any idea how to fight, they slap, pull hair or hit with the side of their fist and it doesn't even hurt, the worst is your hair will be sore from them pulling it for like a week afterwards.

[chuppachup]

Daaamn haha, you're a badass. I guess no one would expect a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white girl to have that in her. Obviously, they were mistaken lol. Never judge a book by it's cover.

[GirlsLie]

lol they were just the kind of people who try to take advantage of someone being nice/timid. I try to avoid fights at all cost though , I literally hate it, it's difficult for me to even get mad enough to fight someone in the first place.

[chuppachup]

I hate fighting too but if it's in self-defence or because someone did something very horrible to a friend or family member, then I'll gladly fight.

[Prettygurl12]

I am PPCT trained but that's about it unless you want to count fighting with the guys growing up. I'm a straight shot with a firearm though :p

[chuppachup]

Could you explain what "PPCT" is?

[Prettygurl12]

Pressure point control tactics

The body has pressure points all over. Places where a direct hit will render the limb useless for a period of time.

[chuppachup]

Ah, I see. Interesting.

[SpecJack]

Wow, that's amazing!
Just curious, what firearm do you train with?

[Prettygurl12]

@SpecJack - just a glock 22

It's the firearm of choice my department uses. I can also shoot my dad's 30o6 but it's not my most favorite thing. But that's it. That ends my knowledge and experience with guns :p

[SpecJack]

Nice! I like the Glock 20 and 22. Both are 10mm caliber; the Glock 20 chambered in 10x25mm Auto while the 22 in the shorter.40 S&W (10x22mm). I managed to score a Marksman with the M16 5.56x45mm rifle at an indoor range this year :)

[WhiteSteve]

I used to actually fight kind of a lot, haha. I grew up in the city, so shit just happens sometimes. People there can be aggressive and don't like you for whatever reason, and they'll cross lines to test you or just straight want to fight you, haha. I was also a bouncer for many years, not at real rough and tumble kind of places, but we still had our share of dust ups. So I can hold my own. I haven't fought in like five years now. Almost got in one last year but we got separated, hahaha, but other than that I'm just over it. I don't even want to fight anymore, I'm too old for that bullshit. Plus with all the MMA dudes running around out there 50 lbs lighter than me that would straight up pretzel me and I'd never see it coming😆 I've got a winning record, I'm just going to call it a career while I'm ahead😂😂😂

[chuppachup]

Haha, nice thinking. This MMA thing is quite a trend now, so it's very smart to steer clear, I agree lol

[Omar5881]

Yes I learned MMA , karete, I've been fully in a military tanning and I have been in like a gun fight but with the military well the uk military altho I am Egyptian

[TripleAce]

But your only 18 ... when did all this happen lol

[Omar5881]

15 ~16 not like joining the military but I was in the unit with my father so the rules is thay I have to do the military trainings as well we was in Sudan with the uk army

[Omar5881]

@TripleAce

[TripleAce]

Wow that is a young age... guess it makes you tuff and not as afraid but you should be living a fun life at 15 ... not in the miltary

Are you still in Sudan?

[Omar5881]

@TripleAce nope I was there with my father for 6 months and I am not in the military I am a civilian but as long as u r in the military u it u can't just sit there u have to do what they do , and we egyptians don't get a fun life like u guys does kinda country problems and shit bit that's why we r built tough 😎😛

It's better to run if possible or to avoid. Unless you carry a gun and you are ready to use it.

3 guys who know something will beat the shit out of any martial arts master. That's the sad truth.

Someone can decide while fighting to pull out knife etc. It's better to avoid.

I trained some shitty martial arts and i also trained sword fighting.
I had only once some little street fight and i won it. I did not start it I was hit from out of blue in face by my opponent. He was alone hopefully so it was 1vs1.

[SpecJack]

I am rather well-versed with firearms marksmanship, especially in my country where firearm ownership is very strictly regulated and costs a leg.
I have also taken basic combative Kenjutsu in the form of Nihonto-Do ("the Way of the Japanese Blade"), which I can apply to any long melee weapon with a length of at least 1 meter.

[Xelebrum]

Yes. I wrestled throughout high school, I know Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I know how to kill if need be.

[chuppachup]

I used to do Muay Thai and BJJ as well but I don't think I'm capable of killing someone lol

[Anonymous]

I doubt martial arts would help in a street fight. There are no rules, there are no fair fights. If the person is bigger and stronger, you're done, no matter how well trained you are. Once they actually get a good grip, they'll rip your arm in half. Unless you use knock out points, it's just the matter of who can take more hits.

[chuppachup]

If you are experienced in a martial art and spar regularly then yes, it would be useful.

[chuppachup]

Better than just throwing wild haymakers with a dodgy stance

[GirlsLie]

lol having experience with fighting or training will always help. Also that's true about people being bigger than you are.

[GirlsLie]

not true*

[Princessofpersia]

Growing up in Iran it's literally kill or be killed so

[Princessofpersia]

@TripleAce that was rude you don't even know me

[TripleAce]

Your right I don't know you... I'm sure your a nice person... just don't let that lifestyle take away your innocence

[Princessofpersia]

@AshleyGirl1 um calling a group of people wild animals is rude so stfu bitch

[chuppachup]

She's just a troll, don't take her seriously.

[kittykatbrat]

Vote F = I am a physical fitness freak who has HAD TO defend myself against some crazy irrational bitches.

[MeltedCheese89]

I think a lot of the dudes giving answers here are bluffing. A recent study found most average males are 4000% less effective in fights than they imagine: https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=fe3na9umxDA

[WitchKing]

I fight mostly street fights. Started when i was 13. I've gotten really good at fighting since then. Plus im really good at taking pain, always have been, so that always helps.

[Bowshots86]

I never actually practiced any martial art but i have been in four fights and won them all

[_Zara_]

I used to practice/learn martial arts and I still remember some of it.

[micheal727jovanie]

im not ab experienced fighter but if my life is on the line i will fight with teeth and nails before somebody takes it away from me.

[jakeofalltrades]

I have took a self-defense course, but I don't know how effective it would be in real life. but I would go down fighting. mainly because I am slow as hell and I have a better chance standing my ground than trying to make a run for it

[ShayanMortazavi]

Yes, I'm an MMA fighter. Though I've never fought anyone outside of the ring and there are a lot of rules that you have to follow in the ring. Plus there's padding and you can tap out at any time.

[VampireEmpress]

I'm not experienced much, but I like to use my teeth. dead serious, I don't think people use their teeth in fights as much as they should.

[Shaft50]

I've been in too many to count, taken classes, etc, etc... love fighting

[LordZero]

I've lost every physical fight/battle. I'm as pathetic as Steve Rogers before he turned into a super soldier. I don't know how I'm still alive.

[Maxemeister]

I've punched a douchebag on my bus cuz he was being exactly that– a douchebag.

[jwhit]

I think I've been in 3 or 4 street fights.

[Possible_Mate]

karate, blue belt :D

[AshleyGirl1]

Yes, I have a blue belt in Brazilian Ju Jitsu!

[AshleyGirl1]

MHO me please!

[bubbletrouble]

no and I hope to never have to know how to

[Anonymous]

Yes I am military and UFC trained.
