Do you think you could win a fight against someone the same size as you?

[StephBelsten]

I'm intrigued as to how people think of their ability in a fight lol

Let's say the person your fighting is roughly the same height and build, though isn't like a black belt in karate or anything. Just an average person plucked off the street

Do you think you could take them? :P

[libsaretards]

Easily. Without any sort of training, the average person of ANY size would have to get really lucky to beat me, even with a weapon. There are some who are natural fighting geniuses and I've come across a few, but often times their reflexes do not match their genius. I have both martial arts training and years of experience fighting people bigger than me, outnumbered me, armed and even a combination of all 3. Most people with less than 2 years of martial arts training are not going to get the better of me.

[RationalMale]

Without a weapon on my pocket? Maybe.

The problem is fights can easily maim you. You might win--hell you might Mortal Kombat rip them apart in gruesome fashion--but one blow can still knock teeth out, or fracture your eye socket, rip the skin off the cartilage in your ear... ugh.

[Cassie_94]

I have a black belt in taekwondo and a brown belt in kickboxing, and I spar and win often against both girls and guys, so I would feel confident against anyone untrained as you described 🙋🏼‍♀️ although I would never assume the win and would treat anyone like they were a good fighter.

[Superwoman21]

You sound like a total badass.

[Cassie_94]

@Superwoman21 Thanks 😆

[TheStrongestManAlive]

I'm sure I could beat you

[Karate_Guy]

@cassie_94: What inspired you to do both taekwon do and kickboxing? Are the sparring rules the same or different for TKD sparring and kickboxing sparring where you train?

[Cassie_94]

@Karate_Guy I took up taekwondo at about 17 because I wanted to learn a martial art for self-defence mostly, and I loved it. Once I got my black belt I moved on to kickboxing, which is kind of similar. The classes are at different gyms - taekwondo had more strict rules, whereas this kickboxing class allows more strikes and is far less restrictive. I much prefer this kickboxing class because I feel it better trains people for ‘real life’ situations.

[Karate_Guy]

@cassie_94: That's awesome! I'd love to chat more about that. Can you please DM me? (I tried sending you a message but says that you only accept messages from people you are following) Thanks! :-)

[laurieluvsit]

Yes, my sisters and I practice MMA.

The Shevchenko sisters are our idols :)

[Karate_Guy]

@laurieluvsit: That's awesome! How long have you been doing MMA for?

[laurieluvsit]

@Karate_Guy
Since kids, our dad got us into it.

[laurieluvsit]

@Karate_Guy
Yes, I am busy now but will try to remember for later.

[Karate_Guy]

@laurieluvsit Okay. Sounds good! 🙂 Also, is that a photo of you and your sister?

[laurieluvsit]

@Karate_Guy
No, both are the Shevchenko's

[Karate_Guy]

@laurieluvsit Cool! They are very pretty (and look very strong!)

[Sasha_Gee]

Yes! If you know how to fight, some average person won't be much of a threat. You might not even have to retaliate, they have no control over their movement or breathing, or their stance leaves them all exposed.

[boggboss]

I think I would hold up well did a lot of fighting when I was younger I'm under no belief that I can take on the world but I know enough not to freeze up or swing like a madman

[lrina]

if we were about the same physically, then possibly. i took gymnastics for a few years so that might have helped, idrk though. ig it depends.

[RedStiletto88]

I bite, kick, scratch, pull hair, and anything else needed to win. So yes I’ve won fights before 😁

[Jakes310]

What if it's a guy with short hair that you can't pull?

[exitseven]

Maybe. If they were not pro boxers or martial arts guys. The few fights I was in i usually wore the other guy down.

[Levin]

I would hope so. I trained martial arts for 8 years.

[KrisPW]

I grew up wrestling with my older brothers. I think I could probably take a female of my size.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I can fight for the average street person. I've been in several physical fight before so I would bet on myself I can win.

If I land one good punch to his face I'm positive he's going down.

[Anonymous]

15, 20 years ago I would win most fights. I did win most fights. Today, I wouldn't even try.

[Dargil]

I was trained in military hand to had combat. The problem is not winning, its not killing him... easier than you think.

[AvaOneLasTime]

Why that question? Some people almost never fought.

[StephBelsten]

Exactly! So I'm interested in how they see themselves faring

[AvaOneLasTime]

I don't even SEE myself.

[Juxtapose]

I studied martial arts indoors and outdoors for 11 years, I would hope I could!

[Anonymous]

i can beat guys bigger than me
use to wrestle with them when I was younger

I fight guys that are almost 7 feet tall
im just to old to be fighting
not a kid anymore

[noohair]

I have carried a firearm most of my adult life. I avoid all confrontations unless my life comes in danger.

[Deserter]

I boxed for years and still practice, and I know how to throw kicks, elbows, and knees. But I wasn't taught professionaly how to do those tbf

[Jhonrembo]

Size usually determines nothing but the fighting skills, determination and desire to win.

[VikingWarLord]

I'm a Viking, what you think?

[jahaims]

Yeah, only because I have formal training.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I am the master of my fate

[Superwoman21]

Yes I can, I have a decent amount of training.

[Karate_Guy]

@Superwoman21: That's awesome! What kind of training do you have?
