Do you like getting into physical fights and enjoy beating the shit out of others?

[danielamontoya06]

As Latin Americans we are often depicted as very temperamental people and very hotheaded.

And to be fair, sometimes I see myself falling into this stereotype. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself a very chill person but my *fight response* instincts are really strong when facing any kind of disrespect, provocation or hostility. Since I started training martial arts I discovered that I feel very happy when fighting, to the point that I once even cried in a sparring session due to sheer happines.

Now I want to ask you:

Have you ever fighted before? How do you respond against hostility?

I know this place is not a good representation to the average population, so feel free to also talk about what have you seen in your fellow countrymen and countrywomen.

I have had a couple of scraps but they were not my choosing as I don't like the idea of harming someone. As men, we know the extreme nature of our rage and just how much damage that can do (most guys could hit and break bones with that level of power) and you DO NOT want to be the one who causes a serious injury or death to someone because you hit them then they fall and could kill them. It's NOT something I want on my conscience.

I have also been responsible for stopping fights between kids EXCEPT the evil shit show that is girls fighting. The physical hits are much less dangerous but the venomous vitriol and viciousness is out of this world nasty.

Outside of an agreement? No.

In a ring of alike? Yes. Was a bit weird realizing that I enjoy beating other guys up. But oh well, it isn't as if I am fighting strangers for fun. If I have fun in an extra rough spar where we are both in on that, no real issue.

I've never gotten into a physical fight. As an American with Latin roots and culture I don't think I'm naturally inclined towards aggression either... But there are certain lines that no one should cross, so it could happen. Just hasn't happened before and I hope it won't have to get to that point ever in the future either.

I have not been in a fight in more than 20 years. Now that I am older I realize that it is not like you see on TV. Two guys get in a fight, one of them falls down and hits their head and dies. The other guy goes to jail, all over some stupid insult.
If somebody attacked me or my family, they would be met with a good beatdown but fighting with somebody because they brought a shopping cart full of items to the 12 Items or Less checkout line is ridiculous

I have no desire to get into a physical fight unless the other person has really really really done me wrong.

I use to, but now they pull out a gun, no fun anymore
