Do you think you could actually defend yourself in a real street fight?

[rapfan107]

[aceleon]

i don't think so, i knew so since i already did it, countless times, i grow up at turkey dude, street fights are pretty much a regularity here, almost no guy here hits their 18 without getting into a real fight at least once (usually much more than that but bare minimum is 1)

[Billlewis]

I've had to do it a few times. After all, I lived in Chicago for forty years, where people will hate you just based on your ethnicity (white), age (older), gender (male), and sexual orientation (straight).

[rapfan107]

Uh Chicago as bad as they say?

[Billlewis]

No, not at all. No matter what you hear or read about Chicago, it's ten times worse; because public sentiment, despite what the lying media has been insisting, has largely turned against the Dems, very little of the crimes are ever reported on, unless you go to a crime specific site. I was there for forty years, but it didn't get really bad until about ten years ago.

[WhiteSteve]

I’m pretty good from the shoulders, historically. But the older and less prideful you get, you realize the best move is running away from it and not fighting. People are crazy out here these days.

[queenofcardio]

​I'm not sure if I'd succeed in defending myself, depending on the size of the person, but I'd definitely put up a good fight. Adrenaline can make you stronger especially when you're scared , so yeah, I'd definitely try.

[aceleon]

no need for all of this, just punch the throat or kick the junk and go to your merry way.

[DryGermanGuy]

I know that I have a very strong punch, because me and some buddies tested it on these electric punchball machines. So as long as I can deliver punches, I will probably be alright.

[aceleon]

i don't trust those machines, i never get good points on them (i scored higher when i headbutted it) but in real life i broke someones jaw and another time i broke 4 teeth of some bully in my highschool that pushed my friend to the ground infront of his girlfriend so i know i hit hard but for some stupid reason i don't score well in those machines.

[Iron_Man]

I was punching this machine, Bag and this guy opened the bathroom door right when I was punching and I hit my hand on the door metal rod. My finger started getting swollen,

[Iron_Man]

Yeah, those machines are never accurate. That’s why I don’t touch them anymore. I like punching the heavy bag that’s the real power.

[aceleon]

@Iron_Man the problem with those machines is that they don't calculatethe power they calculate the speed, speed itself can be read as power. my problem is my upper body is not really build for speed and striking inward doesn't come naturally to me because i have very straight and bulky bones, striking outwards comes much easier to me (like bitch slapping is hard for me while pimp slapping is easy peasy japanesey) i also prefer palm strikes or hammer fists if i can help it.
though i will be honest most of my fights usually ends this way, i catch the arm, knee the guy's stomach then either hammer fist his jaw from the side (using two fists at the same time to be able to use more upper body strenght) or go for a full body uppercut. i kind of got too used to it at some point that it became reflexive.

[Iron_Man]

@aceleon do what’s best for you, my friend, whatever you feel the best at. That is true those bags are built for speed. I guess dry German guy must have a lot of speed.

[aceleon]

@Iron_Man it is usual for guys who are not very bulky or even skinny, it is easier to hit fast if your arms has less weight to slow you down.

[aceleon]

my dad is a pin pon player and even he tries to not gain muscle mass on his arms and wings because they will slow him down.

[Iron_Man]

@aceleon I used to play ping-pong at our family campground. It was fun.

[Iron_Man]

And in Florida

[aceleon]

@Iron_Man it is fun, i might want to learn it too and actually had a friend of my father teach me but the guy has his own job and things to do and was training me for free so it didn't last long, only thing i am able to do is sharp shooting the balls inside cups.

[Staximus]

I have been in a few as an adult and did alright against 2 dudes, one of them was hitting me in the head with a steel pipe. I also fight 2 drunk 300 pound cholos outside of a bar on Thanksgiving and managed to fight them off

[Staximus]

And when you’re fighting 2 dudes in a street fight it’s not as boxing match. Winning or losing is not the goal, it’s now staying alive and just trying to stay conscious and not end up on the ground getting kicked in the head

[rapfan107]

300 pound cholos? Were they obese?

[andreasderjuengere]

I have a good instinct to not even get involved in such shit.

So my ''fighting experience'' has not much to show.

Each of the 3 times (or was it 4?) it ended up in not 'losing'.

[AviatorTom]

Realistically, I'd try to defend myself, but I'd be better at trying to talk my way out of trouble than fighting for it.

[Iron_Man]

Fight purple puppet she likes it

[AviatorTom]

@Iron_Man Why would I want to do that? I like the Welsh.

[Iron_Man]

Play full fighting then drill her brains out after. Lol 😂 i’m just joking.

[AviatorTom]

@Iron_Man You mean like this?
Do you ever argue with your partner, just to get make-up sex, which is so good? ↗

[exitseven]

I have a conceal carry permit and a.357 magnum.

[Iron_Man]

Yikes 😳

[Iron_Man]

But wouldn’t you be afraid of going to prison? And wouldn’t you feel guilty shooting somebody just over a fist fight?

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man how am I supposed to know the other guy isnlt packing? I err of the side of caution.

[Iron_Man]

Nowadays, you never know you just don’t know. But if you ever do get in a fist fight, don’t walk away slow if you see him going to his truck and he looks angry get out of there fast

[NathanDavis]

I've done it so, yeah...

[Iron_Man]

I have all my life

[rapfan107]

Yeah you defended yourself successfully?

[Iron_Man]

Of course I don’t fight to lose I fight to win and my dad always said don’t look for fights, but if you have to fight fight, fight to win

[rapfan107]

Mine too but he used to tell me if someone its gonna come home its gonna be you !! You grew up in a rough neighborhood?

[MrChinaski]

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

[Paige2006]

If I had a gun I could

[Chazmatazz269]

Of course
