Of course you can't do things like shoot for doubles or pull guard but when people say bjj isn't effective in the street it's usually a pretty big indicator that they don't know what they're talking about. Pinch? Oh noes. | ||

 Never fought, did punch some people in the face. Real fights are probably way dangerous! Don't get into one lol Sorry but I forgot your question in the OP :p Gl hf | ||

Horrible thing is that in the next 3 years I can look at him and never think about that particular incident, like I didn't feel any guilt at all. God forgive me. | ||

I studied a few martial arts such a Judo, Kung Fu and Jeet Kune Do and i avoid fighting at all costs, I have never met anyone on the street that i thought "you could take me" but thats besides the point. Whether or not I would win makes no difference, whether or not I should fight them does. If there is a way to not fight, I'll take that route but if I have no other choice (which to my mind means only when myself or a friend are in serious danger) then I will break open a can of whoop ass. You can usually talk your way out of a fight, and martial artists actually get taught about these things in addition to how to give a beat down ;p | ||

Pinch? Oh noes. Wouldnt you hate to go to ground only to learn that the other guy can wrestle and has a knife in his pocket? Learning ground skills is necessary for survival, but it should never be your preferred, or optimal place of combat. | ||

A few years back i got jumped by three guys who were trying to force their way into a house I was staying in (was normally only full of girls). What I learnt the hard way : Never go to ground if you can help it and always get the first hit in somewhere vital (throat/groin) and then get outta there. Luckily for me I pursuaded them to let me stand up again, whilst they were kicking my head in, took my break and got away. | ||

The main problem with going to ground is the loss of mobility. Any fight worth the time only happens when you are defending yourself or somebody else. If you are fighting for yourself, your main goal should be to GTFO, not necessarily to hurt the other guy. Going to ground means that you can not readily disengage. If you are fighting to protect somebody else, you want to stay on your feet so that you can deal with any buddies the guy you are beating on might have that are going to go mess with your girlfriend/family/kids/wife/random stranger etc. while you are distracted. | ||

Once in a while we find some stupid people who may deserve a beating, and when we are training like statix mentioned, we feel really confident. But if you calm down and thing straight, you will realize that most of the times entering a fight will not be benefitial for no one. Once the following happened to me: I was going back home from my University. I had to cross a bridge to get to the subway station. It was about 10 in the night (after classes I practice Taisan Kung-fu, so I end up going home late). And I live in São Paulo, not the safest place. So, when crossing the bridge alone, two suspicious looking guys about my age came in my direction. I instinctly put my guard up just before one of them tried to grab my bag. They kept asking me to give them my things. I remember I was very confident in my skills and knew I could take them in a fight. I also knew they most likely did not had a gun with them (living most of my life in Brazil thaught me to Identify such things heheh). What happend is that by being confident about my safety, I was able to stay calm and think about what was the best action I should take. I then kept my defensive position and said I woudn't give shit to them. After insisting two or three times they gave up and went away without a fight. I was happy they did not try to steal me, because if they did I would have to beat them. The problem is, they most likely live in the favela behind my University, and I use that bridge 5 times a week. Had I beat them, they would probably get mad, and perhaps get some friends or even a gun and wait for me the next day. I would have to change my schedule and go home another time, or by a different route. The way it went, they alerady forgot my face, and I forgot theirs. Edit: I forgot to mention that some dude tried to steal me the following week in the same place. But I just had to say no once and he was like kthksbye TLDR: People who know how to fight may get tempted to beat Idiots. But their skill should actually allow them to be calmer, think straight and avoid fighting when possible I like people like you. | ||

bar fight. my old roommate works in a bar downtown. she moved out to a new place in the end of may, so me and a friend go there becasue i wanted to say hi and get some drinks that actually have alcohol in them. me and my friend who's black (i say black becasue it's the reason this fight happens. setting up details) are inside and he sees a classmate of his. they're are in school for massage therapy. we're talking to her and this guy comes up to us, super defensive and the like saying, ''hey this is my girlfriend'' the girl was like, ''no dude, we broke up months ago'' so i laugh at him and walk off to talk to my old roomie. my friend stays there with the girl, buying her drinks and talking. all the while, that ex-bf is standing over those two. eventually my friend gets the hint and leaves her alone. too little too late. as we leave we take the alley to get to the main road to start walking to my place. he's on his phone texting another friend who was out that night, but not with us, to see where he was at and if he was coming back with us. the ex-bf sucker punched my friend saying stuff like nigger this, nigger that, stay away from my girlfriend or i'll kill you. i was walking a few steps ahead of him and i heard the punch, and saw his phone go flying ahead of me. the time it took me to turn around, assess the situation, and to size up the guy, he had said those things. this guy was 6'1'' and somewhere around 200 pounds. i'm 6'5'' and 155 pounds. (i had lost 10 pounds because my dad had died 2 weeks prior. my depression had me lose a lot of weight very fast since i wasn't eating.) he was standing over my friend already looking like he was about to start wailing on him, and then i start swinging. first punch of mine hits him in the ear, second punch in the cheek and it knocks him down. my friend got up by this time and i'm yelling at the ex-bf guy to stay down it's not worth it. the ex-bf gets up after it's clear he's not going to do be able to do much since he was pretty drunk. he comes after me now since i'm the threat, and swings 4 times at me. i take steps back and block his swings with my left arm. i punch him a third time in the forehead and i get a sharp pain for a moment in my hand. the adrenaline kicks out any pain at this point instantly. and he falls down again. thankfully by now bouncers are able to break it apart and keep that guy from coming after me and my friend again. they tell us to leave cause they don't want to hold the ex-bf for any reason. we walk away and meet up with the third friend a few minutes later. tell him what happened. and we go back to my apartment. shattered my 4th and 5th metacarpal on the last punch =[ (pinky and ring finger knuckle) | ||
