Have you ever been in a fight?

Question

I mean physically, not an argument.  If so, what led to it? More importantly - did you win lol

Definitely had a good amount of scraps coming up as a kid, some more serious than others. Had a few more in my college years, and then some a little later than that when I was playing semipro football, lmao. Also was a bouncer for ten years at a couple of college bars. So I guess you could say I’ve got a few stripes. Tough to detail them all, I’d probably say I have winning record, but so many fights just get broken up, unless you’re knocking dudes flat or getting knocked flat yourself, it’s tough to really quantify it in wins, losses, and draws, haha. Also sometimes it was just a brawl scenario, not 1v1, so you’re just clocking people and getting clocked, and more often than not just looking to pull someone off of a friend who’s either in a bad position or getting tag teamed, and then usually someone hits you from behind while you’re doing that, and it’s just chaos, haha.

But my last street fight was over ten years ago now (aside from choking this one kid who is always obnoxious towards my lady and I, and in a weird way, but that’s a separate story…point is he got strangled for a cool ten seconds or so😂). That was one of the football team fights, an idiots teammate suckered a guy at a bar while we were out celebrating a win, dude’s friend came looking for him while we already had him grabbed up we’re trying to get him out of there. Kid is talking about “my boy just got back from Iraq, we got a Desert Eagle in the trunk”, blah, blah…. I tried to defuse it and went to try to shake his hand, and he pushed me, so I dropped him right quick, actually right as soon as the cops were coming because of the other altercation, so I had to break out.

All was peaceful, but then I got the competitive itch again and decided to learn to play hockey, and I’ve already gotten in a couple scuffles with this one goalie who just insists on being an idiot. Round 2 got broken up early and was just a slap fight besides each of us throwing a first punch. First time I dropped him twice though, I was stoked. And I got it all on the rink cameras😂

I’m #8 in gray here…. my teammate #5 is in his 60s, no way I’m letting him fight a kid in his 20s lmao

Trying not to get in any more though, I’m already in hot water with the league after one year😅😂

I have a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu as well as decades of training in Hapkido. I have been in a few fistfights in my life. One was in SC one night with a good friend as we both were attempting to get a young black guy out of a redneck bar. I also have had a few black eyes from breaking up fights between a man that just discovered his girl bonking another man and that man. I have only used Hapkido one time when I had 3 men about to attack me. I attempted to walk away but my exit was blocked. Blocking the escape of someone who practices martial arts is akin to blocking a dangerous snake. If you don't kill the snake it is going to hurt you. Thankfully all I had to do was destroy one man's knee for the other two to get religion and leave me be. Sadly that man had to finally have surgery to fix that knee, but the last I heard was still needed a walking stick. I am not bragging here. I am deeply ashamed I did that. Later I was on my knees apologizing to the Korean master that taught me. Martial arts is about inner peace, NOT hurting people. ANYBODY that teaches otherwise is either an idiot or a monster!

Yes a couple of times and yes I won them, the other was a Pyrrhic victory.

Something I wish people realized though, is there is aggressive personalities (not me) and passive aggressive personalities. People that lose fights, don't just accept the results and walk away most the time. They plan, plot and come back for more.

I had a crazy ex who started a lot of fights and he won every single one, and the guys he beat up, didn't just accept it and move on. They tracked him to where he lived, escalated it. Threw rocks through his windows, even turned his truck upside down and torched it in the night.

All secret of course, so hard to know exactly who did it.

He got paranoid over it, and abusive.

I got in a fight with one of my sister in laws, who was doing drugs around here kids and told her to knock that shit out, and she attacked me, so I fought back.

The other time was simply intending to vandalize a cheating ex's car that he loved more than anything and he was stupid, and jumped in front of a swinging bar and got his butt kicked, by attacking me in an attempt to stop me.

Yep a girl really disliked and came at me. Ended with me pinning her down and sitting on her face until she passed out. She kept struggling so it took a hour I think. Long time ago I barely remember it lmao.

Fuentes · Answer

Been catching fades since I was a kid & when we moved into a new ghetto apts, you had to fight just to play outside I rmbr I got packed out when I was 8, my little bro use to always run his mouth so it use to get me into alotta fights.

I got older and my anger got worse so it just got me labeled as crazy in middle school cause when I tripped i flipped out, nobody wanted to mess with me cause if you said anything to me I would throw my desk and start swinging and tripping out lol and punching lockers up, people like nope!! We don't want none of that lol

That followed me to highschool and I got kicked outta one of the highschools i went too, ended up going to a crip school and was looking for trouble so when they said don't wear red, I wore RED & RED laces & I'm from a GD and crip hood lol but cause I wasn't from there sections I just wanted to start shit but I never had issues people didn't do shit about it hahaha people knew I was just wanting to fight hahaha.

I also have police reports on me for whooping a 20 yr old when I was 16 for tryna pick on my bro at the basketball court & he got beat down bad haha they took pictures of it cause his face was busted up and reported me when he went to the hospital lol but I was a minor so the police didn't charge me with shit.

Today my anger is in check, I'm to old to be fighting but if someone needs that it's nothing & if it's apart of the job it's whatever.

Very frequently. I’m from a really bad neighborhood in Philly. Fighting happens a lot. I didn’t win them all. I been jumped a few times. My nose is broken, my right ring and middle finger knuckles are pretty smashed together. I’ve broken a jaw before. I went to jail (for something I didn’t do, was found innocent) and I fought maybe once a week most weeks. Since I moved to the suburbs a year ago, I’ve only had two situations ALMOST turn into a fight. But living in Philly, and doing jail time, I can say I probably been in nearly 100 fights. And again, I didn’t win them all but I won a lot. I’m a bigger guy, 6’3, 220 pounds, and an ex boxer. Real fighting is much different than boxing.

Getting punched in the face won’t hurt, until hours later. Getting punched in the body instantly hurts. Look at the other guy’s collar bones, not his eyes. Eyes are misleading. Stay as calm as you can and remember to breathe. Don’t cock back, point A to point B, pivot those hips. Street fights aren’t the movies. You WILL get hit, simple.

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

Yup... when I was younger... I was the quiet kid and for some people that means you're arrogant or you would be easy to pick on... but I'm tough and agile and I was sort of an athletic kid so I always won or it was a tie... one time I handled four bullies on the first day of school.. On my own.. I actually became friends with some of these " baddies " afterwards lol... My last fight was 5 or 6 years ago... It wasn't necessary... He was just a crazy person having a meltdown lol... He caught me off guard and kept aiming for my head with full force.. I didn't even pass out.. But I have a tiny little scar under my eye ( it looks kinda sexy xD )... Funny thing when I was getting stitches I told the doctor it stings a little and then he said oh my God I just realized that I didn't give you any anesthetics the whole time lmao... He was young lol... But I must say growing up you don't find yourself in a situation for a fight.. You're now a more wise and mature guy who actually descalate things when it gets heated... I just recently did that actually... Guess what happened? Two days later the guy came and apologized to me multiple times saying he's really sorry and that he had a really bad day...

TJ1892 · Answer

AmeerX · Answer

What happened to you?

Yes I was in a fight :). It was 15 guys who ganged up on me. I broke one's head in self defense. But I was also beaten. Luckily no scars but lung punctured.

I had hand like that as well. Who did you beat up to have a hand like that 🙂.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I've been a few fights. When I was in school the school bully started in with me. He just wouldn't stop. I turned around and punched him in the face. He fell down. I just kept pounding him until the principal pulled me off him. Everyone was clapping. He got a week's suspension and I got 2 days detention.
I've had a few other fights as I got older. It's been twenty years since I was in a fight

NathanDavis · Answer

very few, but yes I have

would not exactly call all of them to be actual fights... more like someone that needed to be put in their place and it was rather unavoidable and merely necessary, lol

most of them times, I just avoid it though

exitseven · Answer

The last time I got physical with somebody I was at the bar and my friend was the bartender. A guy was in there and he said insulting things about my friend;s wife. If my friend beat this guy uop he would have gotten fired. I just walked over to this guy and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him backwards off the bar stool and slammed him on the floor. He did not get up. That might have been almost 30 years ago.

Saramad_Hill · Answer

Nope, never been in a fight. Seen one happen before, though. I'm usually pretty placid and try to avoid being near people that I don't like. I hate conflict. Sometimes people deserve a nice slap, maybe more depending on what they've done. I just can't see myself getting angry enough for it.

Potteplante · Answer

I've had my fair share of fights - I grew up in an alcoholic environment, been frequenting pubs and bars since I was 14 and worked at one when I was 18.

Most the fights I've been, have been self defense - or when I've had enough. I think I've won most of the fights I've been in with other girls - I say girls cuz I haven't been in a fight since my late teens but I think I've lost the majority of fights I've been in with men.

BeMuse · Answer

Yeah a lot of them. Most by choice. I competed in fighting sports for years because the challenge and the struggle is fun to me. Plenty of street fight to. Generally those started because someone got all emotional and had to learn the hard way that they're not allowed to put their hands on me.

DJB72 · Answer

Five my whole life. Won all of them. Only threw the first punch once when a guy accused me of hitting a girl - an absolute no for me.

I fight. I don't play by any rules, so I win. Eyes, balls, all fair targets if you throw the first punch at me.

Wallythewalrus · Answer

I played hockey for over 20 years, so I have been in a lot of fights, on and off the ice. To be honest, I can't remember winning very many of them! Lol but I was always a willing contender.

Stevefiveo · Answer

Yes a few. When I was in the seventh grade, I got jumped by an eighth grader. I was able to push him off and put him in a hard luck and beat his face. Within 30 seconds. He said he had enough. Won that fight. That reputation carried me through high school and no one ever messed with me ever again.

HighValue · Answer

Yeah and I have always won by a lot. It is never even close.  Did you win the fight you got into? What happened?

Cassie88 · Answer

Not since primary school, when I was about eight.

DesiUwU · Answer

Agape93 · Answer

Shit, several times, usually helping out or defending myself or a loved one. I don't win them all, but I win most and regardless i will do my damnest to send you to the hospital.

JPresidente · Answer

Been in two fights before. One I won and one I lost. The one I lost the guy was bigger than me and there was nothing I could do. The one I won was against a punk and he didn't much experience scrapping.

OneViewpoint · Answer

A few. Some were personal. Some were a result of being the new kid in every school I attended. Some were a result of my job as an adult.

Levin · Answer

I am a martial artist but I try and avoid them. Seems like you come up from pretty tough Irish streets.

Noah-z · Answer

I have been in some fights that even involved gun fire.

bolverk · Answer

Oh yes, more than a few, won more than I've lost, mainly by being bigger, faster and meaner, and finishing the fight within the first 10 seconds which keeps the amount of damage done to a minimum.

standardguy · Answer

No, never happend. But I would love to hear your stories...

Iron_Man · Answer

Hardworkingguy · Answer

No. I do know how to defend myself in a fight but I usually try to find a way to prevent it from starting

TallAnon · Answer

Plenty, it's more about which one I should talk about 😂 I've never lost though. Not counting casual sparring matches during martial arts training.

Passing_by · Answer

Sure lol. A bully had crossed his limits so I had no option but to put him in place. Yes, it went well xD

Paulychicagoluv · Answer

Can't say I have. I've had a lot of dudes try to pick fights with me, but they always back down.

OddBeMe · Answer

Oh yeah. Got my ass beat. But the bullies didn’t bother me again. Because their knuckles hurt so much. Score!
