Have you ever been in a fight?

Question

RolandCuthbert · Accepted Answer

Of course, but I don't do that anymore. When I was younger, I didn't have much patience.

msc545 · Accepted Answer

Yes, I have. A few times, particularly in Europe. Not fun and extremely dangerous.

Anpu23 · Answer

Both in the ring and out. I've also been in violent armed combat using sticks, guns (shot at but never hit), knives (a couple of times) and swords, (a Katana specifically that's how I got the scar on my index finger, that Tsuba is worthless as hand protection.) Worst hand to hand combat injury was a broken neck, didn't even know it happened got some x-rays for an unrelated issue and they pointed out where it had broken and healed. I was in a headlock and was upper cutting dude in the gut as hard as I could trying to break it before I went out. Had a headache for weeks. Didn't really think much of it. And yes he let go before I passed out, you can only take so much damage to the bread basket before you have to address it.

cth96190 · Answer

Yes, too many to count.
I have had a life-long devotion to martial arts, I have been a soldier and five years ago I began to work in private security. That has grown into my own business.
About once per month, on average, I have to give a lesson in manners to a teenage punk, or a drunken (or high) older sociopath.
The most common source of problems is teenage delinquents who were raised in welfare housing and did not have a daddy at home to kick their arse as required. They are 70 per cent of the adult prison population and close to 100 per cent of the juvenile detention population.
On rare occasions a female will think that she can go hands on without experiencing consequences. They are always from welfare housing.
The look on their faces as they learn that poking the bear is a bad idea is priceless.

JoJoiLL · Answer

Loads, unfortunately I seemed to be the perfect build that guys out looking for trouble love to find.

I learned how to fight pretty quickly, but I got plenty of damage along the way. I have several subtle scars on my face and body. Part of my problem is that I hate bullies and will always give them my all, even against the odds which isn't very smart. But nobody ever walked away from me happy with what when down.

As I got older I got better at recognising and avoiding dangerous situations. I also train several times a week at full contact sparring at a high level. I'm fucking solid.

But it still saddens me that we live in a world where you can be attacked for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Vickymoore9 · Answer

Omg yeah not a good fighter at all 😂 I’m strong for my size and super aggressive thought I could fight. Had my ass handed to me several times by girls I thought I could take. I was literally throw around like a rag doll every time thought my best friend broke my nose. My eyes was swollen shut we made up after she joked she said she didn’t think kicking my ass would be so easy

Ninafrances3 · Answer

I don't do fights... I'm mostly chill But I did slap this guy once when i got really mad... if that counts as a fight😅

Givemore · Answer

I was up for attempted murder.
They made one mistake and followed me! so I walked free.
Just remember that, if a person attacks you and you walk away and they give chase, turn and crush their fucking skull, and it's strait up defence. Even if one of the dogs had of died I would have walked free.

GermanGuy87 · Answer

I threw a snowball at this kid when I was in highschool and it got him right in the face. It was a pretty hard snowball, he chased me down and punched me till I was on the ground.

That kind of shit is the closest I've been to a fight but I never really was in a fight where I was actually trying.

AndrewMG · Answer

Outside of brothers and the odd scuffle on the football pitch the only other fights I've been in have been play fights lol, I'm too laid back for real drama.

loveslongnails · Answer

Not a serious one, but I have kept a few from escalating into them when I wasn't involved.

Yes I used to get in a lot in high school. Worst one was I had to pay a $250 fine my Junior year.

Jjpayne · Answer

I almost started one but it fizzled out. But I personally have never been in a fight. I'm a peaceful tree hugger 😂

TallAnon · Answer

Yeah lots, both serious ones and otherwise. I did martial arts for 7 years and I am a strong believer that some people just need a fist to the face sometimes.

Bluemax · Answer

Yes. I haven't initiated a fight since 8th grade though. In my adult life it was to defend myself or a loved one, always.

Yes, and it was broken up before there was a winner.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Rarely. I prefer to solve things with brains. But sometimes 'the other side' decides to go caveman instead.

Myk13 · Answer

I’ve been in a few. I’m generally really calm and easy going. Fighting is the last option. I’ve been pretty successful at defusing the situation just by talking and/or buying the next round.

Iron_Man · Answer

I’ve been in many fist fights and I was a former gloves boxing champion

InferiorElegy · Answer

I've been in a good number of fights over the years, I stopped fighting and started trying to be just a good human being as best as I could, especially as I gave into hatred and almost broke a kids back when I was in high school.

LowSelfSteem03 · Answer
