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

[rapfan107]

[RingOfFire]

I'm sorry but not many women are a match for even an average man when it comes to this. I have always been surprised at how weak women are. It's biological. Women's muscle fibers are less dense than men's and not as strong even given the same volume of muscle mass. So even if they have the same amount of muscle by volume, which is almost never, they are still significantly weaker. Womens' muscles are designed for flexibility for bearing children, while men's are designed for strength and speed to defend.

Are there SOME women who are stronger than SOME men. Of course. You can always find a relatively weak man and relatively stronger women. But on average men are stronger by a wide margin.

I did 20 years of martial arts and workout every day of my life. Even at my age, as this guy would say...

[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.

[rapfan107]

So its worse then the news?

[Billlewis]

Oh, by far. All the Dems, liberal media and academia have left as strongholds are the big US cities, so they're not about to shout from the rooftops that places like Chicago have deteriorated into expensive, rage filled, crime ridden hellholes. Therefore, the lying media commits their most insidious tactic: deception by ommission. 'We haven't lied about anything'. No, they just conveniently fail to report it.

[rapfan107]

Ph man !! What's the main problem gangs?

[Billlewis]

It's a combination of things. You've got the state and local gov's, which, by their constituents' demand, must be as anti-Trump as possible. That means letting as many felons out of jail as possible, bringing in as many illegal immigrants as possible, and to that, add an understaffed, demoralized police force and a tribal dislike of the different ethnicities of the city's population. Gangs mostly just sell drugs and steal; when they kill, they usually kill each other.

[rapfan107]

Oh yeah so its not safe to walk around and stuff like that

[Billlewis]

Not now.

[rapfan107]

So let's say I'm walking around Chicago what do I need to watch for?

[Billlewis]

Don't dress like you've got money, don't wear jewelry and avoid any place near downtown.

[rapfan107]

Oh I can get robbed?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Long ago, my mom & I were being mugged by two thugs.

When my mom was hurt by one of 'em, it enraged me.

I hurt him hard before he fled.

That left me with the bigger of the two.

I managed to knock him out cold but at a painful, near-fatal price.

He managed to stab me twice first before I got some clean shots to knock him out.

After he fell hard to the ground, I immediately realized I was bleeding hard.

I eventually lost consciousness in the ambulance due to loss of a lot of blood.

I was told numerous times that I was close to death.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

@rapfan107

Thank you for the MHO. :)

[rapfan107]

No prop hope you n your mom are ok🤪

[Kassandra1994]

My ex fiance try to attacked me I managed and got the couraged to punch his face I broke his glasses scared his eye lead weird yes he is a typical christian and when people ask him about his scared on his faced he claims that a witch attacked him instead of telling people the truth the he was being a douched. Oh well it is what it is he was shocked that I stayed young while the rest of the people who went to highschool with us looked old.

[rapfan107]

Dam he was Christian,?

[Kassandra1994]

Yes 😧 and that is why I will never date one to christians everything is demonic amd the accused everyone of being witch and warlocks.

[Iron_Man]

Would you punch me in the face?

[rapfan107]

Oh really? Dam they're not supposed be demonic they're supposed to be close to Christ and stuff like that

[Kassandra1994]

@Iron_Man as of right now you are not forcing your christian beliefs into my face so no.

[Kassandra1994]

@Iron_Man The dude was throwing Olive oil and smacking my face with his bible what was you expected to do stand there smile like an idiot?

[Iron_Man]

🙄…..

[Iron_Man]

Because he was trying to melt you like the witch in the Wizard of Oz

[Kassandra1994]

@Iron_Man wow your fanatism for christian is at the top of the top of the roof your way to much.

[Iron_Man]

Sydney Sweeney has the best build in the world. Are you jealous of her to the woman here are

[Taranis_Thunor]

You didn't specify what he did to you first which leads me to think you did the classic female hormonal response of overreacting and seriously injuring people.
If he was really smacking you with a bible that sounds based and you shoulda been into it.

[Kassandra1994]

@Taranis_Thunor Another maga religous church lunatic! I HAD ENOUGH WITH YOU RELIGOUS NUTCASE ! New age does not incluye black magic. Geez

[Kassandra1994]

@Iron_Man And stop frozing my account I know that is you. Because I posting a topic about how evil christians can bebyou didn't like that I pósted the truth about you crazy christians so for some weird odd reason you decided to cancel my post and account.

[Iron_Man]

Give me a break don’t be stupid

[Kassandra1994]

@Iron_Man Oh so its you this whole time who is canceling my post typical christian. Enough! Mind your business! You calling me stupid becareful Karma will get your face in the spiritual word.

[Kassandra1994]

rapfan107 I used to think the something along time ago but it turns out the religous church people are the most negative most narcisistic humans ever on this planet.

[Iron_Man]

I Never froze your account ever I promise I go easy on you because I know you need help. You’re lost and you’re lonely and you wanna meet somebody

[Iron_Man]

No, I did not freeze you ever. I’m gonna let you by with that since you called me that but not again. Be mature, no name, Calling

[Laws-Of-Existence]

Allahu Akbar!

[Iron_Man]

I am being very nice to you, honey. I’m a Christian person and a great man. I’ve given you a lot of lead way. I’ve never froze your account and you’ve insulted me and name called me and I still didn’t do anything. You’re very lucky be appreciative.

[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)

[Just_Ken]

Seen that in England. Turkish guys were always fisting each other in the streets

[aceleon]

@Just_Ken yeah no surprise there, i would count it as a pleasent difference from your daily life if it didn't end up with one of them stabbing the other in the knee or stomach.

[whosnumber_1]

Because I am genuinely careful about putting myself in bad situations I don't expect to get into any street fights. But, given the proper motivation to fight back and defend myself or my family I know I could inflict considerable pain even if I was to loose.

[Just_Ken]

I can and have done on the past. Growing up i had trained in boxing and judo. Later some experience with Sambo. I still train boxing and occasionally judo.

Thing to remember about a street fight is thst litteraly anything can happen.

[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.

[236color]

Whole lot of ifs there. How big is the opponent, are they armed, was I taken by surprise. I studied martial arts for 9 years, long enough to know anybody can be beaten, me included.

[Just_Ken]

Seen that. Was a karate black belt i knew, he took on a guy with little training. He got stomped on until we pulled the guy off

[Phoenix98]

I know I can because I've already done it. Would I want to do it again? Definitely not that was a scary situation to be in.

But if I had to I could especially now that I'm bigger and stronger then I was back then.

[OneViewpoint]

Yup. I won’t hesitate to throw crippling or lethal moves. There are no rules and no referee. Pity will not interfere with survival. Weapons are on the menu.

[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?

[Staximus]

They weren’t just fat, they were big dudes. One them punched me hard enough in the cheek to crack my eye socket

[rapfan107]

Oh dam did it leave a scar? Well glad you made it safe man

[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? ↗

[blshbnz]

Yes this is why I’m taking boxing for some sort of self defense now I just need to learn how to shoot a gun lol

[Xdressertiff]

Unfortunately no. I've been in lots of fights and got beaten up everytime. Since school i was getting picked on. Even the younger ones a few years below me beat me.

[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'.

[DonaldDarko]

Probably not against a real gorilla. Someone more average that chimped out I'd have a chance.

[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

[gasman70]

as far as me, yes, I've been in all kinds of situations that required that I had to defend myself in real life situations, so I know I can defend myself, including against multiple people.

[Friendlybro79]

Yes. I can defend myself and have had to before. I am not delusional though. I know I can't beat up everyone and do not want to fight anyone anyway.

[browsingthroughthe]

Lol 😂😆 " a kick to the balls" I once saw a woman write once 🔂

[midnightmoon05]

No 😂 I am 5 ft tall, 115 pounds lol

i would buy them dinner 😊

[msc545]

The very best thing you can do is walk or run away from a fight. There is no point in getting into it on the street with anybody for any reason.

[AngryCarl3]

Doubtful, considering my brittle bone structure. I would probably just injure myself.

[jahaims]

Yeah, only cuz I grew up fighting then later did some training. But now I carry so I wouldn't be in a fight.

[MainCharacter6]

Probably not being 5’1” but I won't go down without kicking.

[rapfan107]

You kick?🤣

[MainCharacter6]

My foot was attacked to their junk.

[rapfan107]

Oh so you know where to kick🤣 hope you got a good kick

[Anonymous]

Sure one on one

I learned from a few experienced guys, don't start if you won't finish (they'd all got bodies in their histories)

[Markella83]

I learn things from my grandfather who was connected.

[Zack-Bann]

I would be someone’s last mistake

[lilBigPotato]

Against a girl yes. Against a guy no.

[itss_lily]

maybe with a knife and/or pepper spray

[NathanDavis]

I've done it so, yeah...

[Sevenpointfive]

yes. but i'd look stupid doing it

[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?

[Just_Ken]

@Iron_Man how many guys have you fisted with in your 47 years?

[Iron_Man]

@Just_Ken a lit of guys I would have to break it down. It would take me a while to think about every situation from my past in school and in the streets that’s gonna take some time to put it all together and I’ve got a lot of things to do this evening, but if you still wanna know, I’ll have to work on it. Plus all my boxing matches in my sparring sessions. That’s a lot of work.

[Iron_Man]

A lot of guys

[Iron_Man]

And when I spare it’s never lightweight. It’s always full out. They’re trying to knock my block off and I’m trying to knock their block off. There is no easy sparing sessions.

[Just_Ken]

Have you beaten off multiple assailants?

[Just_Ken]

I still train. As good a martial art as anything

[Iron_Man]

@Just_Ken well that’s good, but I have done some Judo as a child but boxing and wrestling my whole life. Those are my skills.

[Just_Ken]

I've moved away from heavy spar sessions. Too old for that though i long for my amateur days and boxing in the army. I rarely spar these days and when I do its just to work on technique and footwork. Last fight I was in was 3 years ago, guy out of his car to shout at my pregnant wife and was kicking the crap out of her car trying to open the door. Dropped him hard

[Just_Ken]

Lot of respect for wrestlers. We spared a little with wrestlers in my judo club for a night years ago. Basically they were in from America on a trip using our equipment in the hall. Was a good night, we were all taken back because they were all uber fit, very fast and very strong like on another level, they never tired. A lot of their moves if they pulled them off on hard concrete or cobels its an instant trip to the hospital.
I live in the US but grew up in the UK, wrestling as a sport is basically non-existent in the uk. there's no support for it in schools or colleges anymore, hadn't been for years. Shame because it wasn't always that way.

[Iron_Man]

@Just_Ken thank you very much very interesting. What you’re telling me

[MrChinaski]

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

[msc545]

Yeah, you do this kind of street-fighting stuff or boxing, pretty much any of it. After a while, you wind up with a brain injury, and you're even more disabled than you were to begin with.

[Paige2006]

If I had a gun I could

[832dreamboy]

I guess, since I'm a boxer's son.

[Just_Ken]

Boxing is a solid martial art.

[Chazmatazz269]

Of course

[rgb008]

Yes.

[thund3rlight]

I hope so.

[scott04sa22]

Probably not

[LiamJHayden]

Yes.
