Muscles don’t do you any good if you don’t know how to fight. Agree or disagree?

Muscle at some point becomes a liability. Unneeded bulk slows you down and lowers your stamina. Knowing how to fight is good. Training. Experience is also good. It allows you to remain calm. You've been here before. No need to panic. Wait for the opponent to commit a fatal mistake. The ability to take the kill shot without hesitation when it comes is also crucial. No remorse. No absolution. Just winning.

m.youtube.com/watch This is an example of where the muscular guy gets his ass beat

Nice example. You could watch Lesnar draining his own energy to near zero. And it didn't take long. No strategy, no great technique, just bull size and energy. A hope and a prayer. Velasquez let him wear himself out. When the counterattack came, the big man couldn't even defend himself.

Another example from boxing history. Sugar Ray Leonard. Slim build. Fast as hell. Great technique and strategy in every fight. Great career.

You can use muscles for other things then fighting.
Like picking things up and move them for example.
Maybe you have a job where you are more physically active then just sitting at a desk and doom scrolling tiktok.

Most people don't get into daily fist fights.

Where do you live, that potentially having to fight is part of everyday life?

US Army, elite infantry, 15 years. But with that said, the last thing we ever wanted to get involved in was hand to hand combat. If that happened, we had fucked up. We were not there to prove our manhood.

In day to day peacetime civilian life, it hardly ever comes up. But I have had a moron in a bar try to fight me because he thought his wife was talking to me too much. Mind you she was chatting me up. I had been ignoring her and her friends. Anyway this bald gym rat with a beer gut comes over and wants to fight. My friends surrounded him immediately and backed him up. They told him who / what I am. The moron didn't care. They vouched for the fact that I wasn't hitting on his wife. The moron didn't care. My friends persisted. One eventually told him "dude, that guy can kill 3 of us in 12 seconds". Which isn't true, LOL. But it finally worked. The moron actually backed down and thanked my friend for talking him down.

Just like in combat, if it comes to hand to hand combat in daily life, you have fucked up badly. Do you really need to ruin your evening, get arrested, go to court, or the hospital to prove something to a moron you'll never see again? Nope! If the guy is trying to rob you with a gun, toss him your wallet and watch. Ain't worth dying over. Not even worth getting involved with police and the courts over.

I’ve been in a lot of fights. Of course you shouldn’t go around beating peoples senseless for no reason, but knowing how to defend yourself has tremendous value.

Beating people*
